Leahy’s Farm gees up for grand entrance of tiny horse

There were no long faces at Leahy’s Open Farm after a tiny new arrival provided a big gee up to the Cork centre.

Born to doting mother Snowy, the newborn miniature horse could be the smallest in Ireland, measuring just 19in (about 48cm) in height.

The pint-sized foal is a Falabella miniature, one of the smallest breeds of horses in the world which are often, incorrectly, classed as ponies.
