The "world's smallest pony" has been snatched from a horse show in Umbria, central Italy. A spokesperson for the fair told The Local they suspected the 63-centimetre novelty steed called Charly would be held for ransom.

Police are searching for a small steed measuring just 63 centimetres, after it was stolen during the 47th National Horse Show in Città di Castello, in the central region of Umbria.

The petite pony, named Charly, currently holds the World Record for the smallest horse making him “very valuable” according to a spokesperson at the horse show.

According to Italian media reports, thieves cut through the netting surrounding the pony’s enclosure on Thursday night before making off with the steed through a nearby tobacco field. The alarm was later raised by the pony's owner.

I used to live down the road from a horsemeat butcher. I never understood why the sign to his shop included a smiling horse that looked a lot like the one on the Craig Ferguson show.....
