What’s cuter than watching a mini horse run around? Watching three mini horses run around! Meet Bob, Toffy, and Bambi, three adorable mini horses that ‘race’ every night as they run in the barn for bedtime. Not only do they look cute doing it, but they also sound cute, too!

You’ll definitely want to make sure your sound is on for this video montage of the three little horses running into the barn just in time for lights out. We’re not embarrassed to admit that we’ve watched it three times in a row, and it probably won’t be our last time watching, either!

We could listen to the clippity clops of Bob, Toffy, and Bambi on a loop! It’s the most relaxing and peaceful ASMR we’ve heard in a long time. Viewers of the video agreed, like this commenter who said, “Keep the tippy tappy going, please. These guys are just too adorable!”

Viewer @Flixo79 made us laugh when they pointed out, “Love how Bob and Toffy are spot on every time, but Bambi seems to get confused sometimes or maybe he just wants to have a sleepover at Toffy‘s LOL!”

How Big Do Mini Horses Get?

As you can see from this video, mini horses are really small and usually measure between 34 to 38 inches tall (8.2 to 9.2 hands) and weigh between 150 to 350 pounds. Who wouldn’t want a horse that stays tiny (relatively speaking, of course)!

If you’re not a horse person, you may not know what ‘hands’ are. Most horses are measured in hands, but according to Forever Horse Crazy, miniature horses are usually measured in inches, “While most horses are measured in hands (where 1 hand equals 4 inches) it is often considered the norm to measure miniature horses just in inches rather than hands.”

Miniature horses aren’t ponies, even though many people think they are. While ponies are often thought of as baby horses, they’re actually a distinct type of horse. Ponies are fully grown but smaller than regular horses, typically measuring up to around 56 inches tall. Miniature horses, on the other hand, are bred to be tiny but are still considered true horses.
