Squeals on Wheels, Potomac's traveling petting zoo, has recently acquired a tiny miniature horse. As yet unnamed, the one-year-old horse weighs less than 50 pounds and stands less than 2-feet-tall. He is the perfect height and temperament for people in wheelchairs to enjoy, says Jill Phillips, Squeals on Wheels owner along with her husband John.

Now Squeals on Wheels and Potomac Almanac invite readers to help name the new mini-horse. The winning name will be chosen by board members from the Potomac Community Center and Potomac Chamber of Commerce.
"He has the most loving personality, he's amazingly sweet," said Jill Phillips. "We've added him to the zoo so those who are in wheelchairs or bed-ridden may reach out and touch him. ... He's a wonderful therapy horse — very, very calm and loves to be touched."
