00:10comm: acer, the three-year-old miniature horse is about to be the smallest horse in britainat just 22 inches tall. 00:20maureen: normal miniature is 34 and under and acer is 22. so he's a miniature miniature. 00:28comm: the tiny equine is so small that owner maureen lets him roam around her house. 00:34maureen: i think he's one in a million this little horse. i've never seen anything likehim. 00:43comm: at wolf's castle miniature horse farm

in essex, you'd expect the horses to be onthe small side. but acer was especially tiny. 00:51maureen: we imported his dad from america, and put him with our american mare. apparentlythey were both carrying the dwarf gene and he was the result. i mean most people wouldhave him put down but we persevered with him and he's a lovely little chap, aren't you?lovely little boy. 01:08comm: and because of his size some special arrangements have had to be made, 01:14maureen: this is where acer sleeps. we've had the door specially made for him so hecan put his head over and see all the other

horses. it's a very big stable for a littlehorse but he was born in this stable so this is his stable for life now. 01:29comm: although he wanders freely around the farm, there are some places he can't go forhis own safety. 01:37maureen: there's your big friends, look. we don't let him in with the big horses becausehe could get injured, when they're playing around, i mean he would go under their feet,he'd get kicked or something. y'know his head is sort of life knee height to them. he couldbe injured, couldn't you? but we wouldn't take the chance.

01:52maureen: i must admit, one day was sitting out here and he snuck under the fence, we'reworried about you. anyway he thinks he's more of a dog than a horse. 02:02comm: his best friend is a labrador called demon, the fair have been playing since acerwas a foal, and acer has been copying his canine companion. 02:10maureen: acer's really made himself at home here, he just wandered in one day and we justlet him come in now. 02:16maureen: he doesn't stay for long he just

wanders around, has a sniff. obviously wekeep an eye on him because he's not house trained. 02:24comm: but when acer does leave the farm, he always attracts plenty of attention. 02:31maureen: he has bought so much joy to just everybody he meets, people just love him.absolutely love him. y'know and so although he's a little dwarfy, he is loved. 02:46maureen: everywhere we go people try to buy him, he literally stops the traffic, and we'vehad a very big offer for him from abroad,

but obviously we'd never let him go anywhere.
