Falabella
Manufacturer: Schleich
Falabella: Hand painted realistic pony approx 55mm. The origin of the Falabella horse can be linked to the origins of a horse in Latin America called the Andalusian horse that the Spaniards brought with them to accomplish the enormous task of the conquest--chosen for their rusticity and resistance. They were later left to survive on their own. Wandering over the vast plains ("pampas"), the surviving horsesunderwent by necessity a series of biological processes and structural changes in order to adapt to the new conditions that were incredibly different from those of their native land.
