Facts:The Haflinger Horse gets its name from the Tyrolean village of Hafling. The stallion that is considered the foundation, 249 Folie, was the offspring of the half-Arab stallion 133 El' Bedavi XXII which was crossbred with a native Tyrolean mare. All of today's Haflinger horses trace their ancestry to Folie using a system of seven different stallion lines; S, B, M, N, S, ST, and W. As the popularity of the Haflinger Horse has grown over the years, its exportation to other countries has too, particularly to Great Britain. It is considered the perfect mount to a rider who doesn't have much experience.
he Haflinger Horses have an interesting system when it comes to naming a newborn colt foal; the colt foal is named using the first letter of the sire's name and the filly is named using the first letter of the dams name. When it comes to being branded; the Edelweiss brand is located on the near backside of the classified Haflingers around the world.
The raising of the Haflinger horse is actually an easy task; training them can be done with ease. They are surefooted. The breeding is also relatively stress free; they have a high fertility, the pregnancy is easy to deal with, and young foals have a likeness for people right from the beginning.
Super fact:Some scientists believe this horse is so old that it was brought to the provinces of Rome by Goths around 555 A.D. Today it is bred in Austria in private stud farms that are owned by the government, such stud farms are at Piber and Ossiach; it is where the stallions are kept. Farmers are allowed to own mares but stallions are strictly state and government property. As a law, only the finest stallions of the breed are allowed to reproduce so in turn the breed qualities and purity are at their peak. The Haflinger has a mixture of heritage; it shares a cold blooded and oriental history.
