[edit] Duplicate articles?

Would this page be about the same thing as Falabella pony? If so, they should be merged. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 12:33, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, I have merged them now.

Also, the Finnish Wikipedia article says that the evolution of Falabella as a natural process is a myth, but that it was deliberately bred by cross-breeding Shetland ponies with hotblood horses. ›mysid (☎∆) 22:24, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

I'll try to review the text, this isn't a breed that I have a lot of interest in, but NO QUESTION that it was human-developed (I did a bunch of editing over in miniature horse, which mentioned the origins of the Falabella in passing. Montanabw^(talk) 00:45, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
