Stephen & Nettie & their Falabella

Found antique cabinet card photograph.
Folks identified on reverse as Stephen & Nettie Maynard.
The miniature horse is known as a Falabella.

Country of origin: Argentina

The Falabella miniature horse is one of the smallest breeds of horse in the world, seldom taller than 8 hands in height at the withers. The Falabella, despite its size, is not considered a pony, but rather is a miniature horse.

  1. Nice, Angie! Fascinating info about the Falabella horse: I tho't I knew about horses, but I'd never heard of that one.

  2. They look so happy with her little horse - and cabinet cards are always wonderful!
