Falabella foal is city farm’s mane attraction at Easter

HE MAY be only seven hands high, but this little horse is the mane attraction at Croxteth Hall and Country Park this Easter.

Philip, a Falabella horse, was born three weeks ago and has already been out and about meeting his neigh-bours, including Tally, the second largest Cleveland Bay horse in Britain who stands at a whopping 19 hands.

Philip’s dam and sire, Sapphire and Spitfire, appear to be proud of their foal, one of many new additions at the farm.

Farm manager Michael Robinson said: “Falabellas may be small but there’s a big animal inside waiting to get out. I’m sure the little horse will be a big attraction.”
