NEVER, even as a baby, EVER Ride a Falabella. Although they are athletic and highly intelligent, even by a small child riding a Falabella can permanently damage the horses back, even a new born. They are not meant to be ridden,

Answer 2: The previous answer to this question was completely inaccurate.

I have been breeding Falabellas in the UK for over 30 years.

If you would like to visit our website you will see several examples of Falabellas being ridden. The idea that they could not be ridden was because the very first Falabella imports to the UK were foals/weanlings which people believed to be adult horses! As a rough guide, a Falabella (or any other miniature) can carry one tenth of its body weight so that a 150kg Falabella can carry 15 kg.

Wrong again. It is a horse. Go to the website for the Falabella. It says it is a miniature HORSE, not a miniature pony.

Some what like miniature HORSE the Fallabella is a horse that is dwarfed just like humans become dwarfs but they have now made it an individual breed.

Falabella's are considered Horses. The falabella club website of America refers to them as horses, not pony's.
