Falabella stallion grading and mares studbook approval

On Saturday, April 16th, the stallion grading took place together with the studbook approval of the mares at Zorgboerderij van der Wijst in Vorstenbosch. The day started with a workshop in which the jury team explained how they judge a Falabella horse and how to interpret the score form. Using videos of Manuelo van de Enkhoeve, Falabella Antonieta, and Pinturo Del Charco, the participants received a clear explanation. It was a very interesting workshop! At 11.30, the inspection started. The Falabellas and their handlers put their best foot forward. Felipe LQ (breeder: Stoeterij Los Quatros - owner: Henk Jansen) won the prize for the Falabella with the best movement. The two-year-old stallion Repko F. Vivaldi (breeder and owner: Repko Falabella Stoeterij) was not only youth champion, but also overall champion of the day. The nine-year-old Leonardo Da Vinci van de Wilgenhof (breeder: Stoeterij de Wilgenhof - owner: Alpaca & Falabella Ranch Rzadkiewa) became champion of the adult Falabellas and reserve overall champion. Congratulations to the proud breeders and owners! Thank you Leontien Ruissen for the beautiful picture of Repko F. Vivaldi, Minihorse.eu for the blanket, and Zorgboerderij van der Wijst for the use of the location and the hospitality! Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
