AGT fans want to see Pepino. At some point during the Season 17 auditions, they will meet the “world’s most talented miniature horse” that can throw a basketball into a hoop. One of his talents is his ability to dunk the ball “over the room” at five feet despite his tiny size. Pepino is only 30 inches tall.

America’s Got Talent is an NBC competition series that encourages people from across the nation to showcase their talents to the world. There have been death-defying stunts and dangerous acts on the show. There are also adorable children who can sing and perform, and people from all walks of life who possess wild talents.

Meet Pepino

Pepino the horse will make his big debut on AGT Season 17. His owner and performer hope they can win the million-dollar prize and the opportunity to headline a Las Vegas stage show. The adorable animal and his instructor David Lichman will prove to the judges that he is the “world’s most talented miniature horse.”

The six-year-old American Miniature Horse (AMH) is already well-known on the internet. Pepino even has his own YouTube channel. He’s known for his small stature, and his ability to dunk a basketball. This makes him the perfect choice for AGT Season 17.

Pepino’s signature move is to dunk the ball “over the rim” at five feet despite being 30 inches tall. Check out the cute video of Pepino making the perfect shot. This is sure to put a smile on your face.

But that’s not all he can do. Pepino can also answer the phone and say “yes” and “no.” He even blows kisses and opens a cabinet or the mail. In fact, his hooves come in handy when it comes to displaying many talents. Pepino was named after Pepino Garcia from the 1950s show, The Real McCoys. After David watched an episode of Mr. Ed, he wanted to teach his little Pepino how to dunk a basketball.
