breed causing pain, suffering or harm
[edit]This horse looks pathetic. Look at her hind legs. Even her back is not looking healthy. I do not think it is a good idea to promote breeding causing pain, suffering or harm in Wikipedia. Thus this stub should be deleted, as well as any other artcle praizing a pony for being "the world's smallest horse". Regards Minoo (talk) 18:11, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
"...freeze to death"?
[edit]The final sentence in the lede states that the flood "Thumbelina" was caught in "...caused her to freeze to death". Since the link to the website dedicated to the horse is no longer functional (and I'm not interested in spending the time to research it), I would just suggest that this either be substantiated or changed. I am aware of the casual usage of this phrase, but it is very unlikely that the horse actually froze in a flood. I suspect that the cause of death would've been hypothermia (the body's core temperature being lowered to the point where the heart stops), which can occur at temperatures well above freezing. So perhaps "...caused her death due to hypothermia" would be a sensible correction.Bricology (talk) 19:53, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
