Featured Video: Mini Horse, Giant Soccer Ball

Henry the Mini has a soccer ball that’s bigger than he is. But that’s not about to stop him from chasing his World Cup dreams. Check out the skilled header at 0:35 and the jubilant kick at 0:41. Even Henry’s mom, Ayana, can’t resist the fun. Looks like Argent the Friesian might have a new teammate or two!

Henry’s soccer antics were captured at Riley’s Place, now called Jasper Ridge Farm, a California farm where animals help people. Find out more at jasperridgefarm.org.
