Fox
This is 'Desert Alpine Fox', the little Welsh Mountain Pony who Grenade is in foal to. He is only about 11.2 hands high!

Currently we have six horses on my family's farm. Three belong to my younger sisters, and three to me. My three mares are named 'Grenade', 'Pipistral' and 'Honey'. Grenade is an Arab-cross mare (14.3 hands) who I have owned for about 10 years. She is currently in foal to a little Welsh Mountain Pony stallion. Pipistral is a black mare (about 14 hands), half Quarter Horse and half English Riding Pony. She is also in foal (we think!). Honey is Pip's eldest daughter. She is a chestnut Quarter Horse filly (about 14.1 hands), about a year and a half old.

Leith: I just clicked that a 'hand' is both 4 inches, and 10 cms, so if you want to translate a horse's height back and forth it's very easy! For example, 11.2ha would be 112cm. Incidently, horses are measured from the ground to the whithers (which is the lump at the bottom of their neck . . . that is, the bottom of the top of their neck . . . or maybe the front of their back . . . gosh, you can see why we need terms like 'dorsal' to avoid all the confusion)!
