When Tubby, a miniature horse, entered the lives of his new family, they were faced with a challenge like no other. Tubby was not your average horse; he was smaller than his Golden Retriever siblings and carried with him a list of health issues, including a prominent underbite and dwarfism.

At the outset, Tubby appeared lethargic, lacking energy and hope. But what follows is a heartwarming story of resilience and transformation that turned this tiny horse into a true inspiration.

A Rocky Start: Tubby’s Health Struggles

Tubby’s journey began with a rocky start. As a young horse, he had to combat severe health problems that were evident from the moment he arrived. His underbite was a striking feature, and he also carried the burden of dwarfism, which posed additional health challenges. His new family was understandably worried about his survival, and it seemed like an uphill battle. But little did they know, Tubby had a fighting spirit within him.

A Burst of Energy: Tubby’s Turning Point

Tubby’s first days in the house were marked by a surprising turn of events. As he shared space with his human family, he began to exhibit a newfound burst of energy and a change in attitude. His eyes, once dull, started to shine brighter, indicating a shift in his overall well-being. It was a remarkable turning point, and his family couldn’t believe their eyes as they witnessed Tubby’s transformation.

A Special-Needs Horse with a Special Place in Their Hearts

As Tubby’s personality blossomed, so did his mischievous side. His family lovingly referred to him as the “little land shark” because he seemed to explore everything with his mouth. Nothing was off-limits to Tubby, and his antics brought laughter and joy to his family’s life. Tubby’s unique personality and charm have made him an indispensable part of their home.
