UPI – In America, a miniature horse named Sweetie has set a new world record for the longest tail on a miniature horse, measuring five feet and 11.26 inches.
Sweetie, who stands at just three feet and one inch tall and is 36 years old, belongs to Risa Formisano. Formisano revealed to Guinness World Records that she takes special care of Sweetie’s tail, wrapping it up to prevent it from dragging and washing and conditioning it twice a year.
Formisano brought Sweetie home in 2012 to comfort two horses after the death of another horse. Her owner was looking to rehome her at the time.
“I went to his barn, trailer in tow, and picked up Sweetie,” Formisano said. “She hopped right in the trailer and the rest is history.”
Sweetie’s tail first reached the ground in 2012, and it has been growing ever since.
