"It is a condition that a genuine Falabella
horse must have 100% Falabella bloodlines."
(Asociacion de Criadores de Caballos Falabella)
"Mrs.
Reina Knaap-Mulder had passed her Falabella Stamboek Europa “FSE” to
its sister studbook TFS
after failing to find a registrar in Holland to take on the job.
The British Falabella Studbook then became known as “The Falabella
Studbook”.
Consequently, this is the daughter Falabella Studbook of the mini
horses Falabella in the world."
Dr. Soledad Gramajo
Managing director
ESTABLECIMIENTOS FALABELLA ARGENTINA
The Association of Breeders of Falabella Horses (ACCF in Spanish) is the MOTHER studbook.
The British Falabella Studbook (now The Falabella Studbook) incorporates the Falabella Studbook Europe.
The Falabella Studbook is the studbook authorised by the ACCF.

Top quality pure DNA-proven Falabellas.
The reason we can make this statement is
because we DNA 'Parentage Qualify' back to imports from
the Falabella ranch in Argentina, as required by the Mother Studbook.
DNA testing proves this
conclusively.

Our DNA testing is conducted by Animal
Genetics in Cornwall.
The Mother
Studbook for our breed is called the Asociacion de Criadores de Caballos
Falabella.
They made the following statement in 1998:-
"The horses that in a time frame to be determined would not perform the
DNA test and their results have not been reported to the ACCF will be
stricken from ACCF records".
They had authorized the Dutch Falabella
Studbook (which is now known as the European Falabella Studbook)
in 1995.
And in 2003, they authorized The
British Falabella Studbook.
These are the only authorized Daughter Studbooks to the ACCF in Europe.

He requires minimal show preparation -
his conformation has not been manipulated in any way.
He left the Equuleus Stud for Sweden 'in utero' in 1992.
On 18th July 2012 he returned from Sweden to the Equuleus Stud on a breeding loan.
He covered eleven mares which resulted in eleven foals the following year and a number of foals since.

Our horses are DNA tested in order to ‘parentage
qualify’.
This means that we prove that the horse you buy from us is sired by
stallion ‘A’ and out of mare ‘B’.
Our DNA testing is conducted by the esteemed Animal Health Trust in Newmarket.
HRH the Princess Royal is its president.
The DNA test for parentage qualification is universal and can be shared internationally between laboratories with the consent of the horse owner.
Both sanctioned by Maria L B de Falabella, and the only authorised Falabella studbooks in Europe.
Some of our horses are also registered with other societies which include the BMHS and the AMHA.
Please let us know if you would like alternative registration for your horse
(in order to enter specific shows perhaps) and we will try to organize this where possible.
