Haflinger Horse For Sale

The Haflinger, also known as the Avelignese, is a breed of horse developed in Austria and northern Italy during the late 19th century. Haflinger horses are relatively small, are always chestnut with flaxen mane and tail, have distinctive gaits described as energetic but smooth, and are well-muscled yet elegant.

The Haflinger originated in the Tyrolean Mountains, which run between Italy and what is Austria, today. In medieval times, horses carrying riders and packs navigated narrow trails to access these mountains. This was a challenging task that demanded mountain horses that were agile, surefooted, and strong.

In 1874, a colt named Folie was born. Folie was by a half-Arabian stallion and out of one of these mountain mares. Folie became the foundation stallion for all purebred Haflingers. The breed was named after a village called Hafling, which was an Austrian territory at the time.

In 1958, Haflingers were imported to America, where the breed quickly became popular among both riders and drivers.

Haflingers are compact horses ranging between 13.2 and 15 hands on average. While they may be small, they’re sturdy and strong. Even though some of these horses are only pony-sized, they’re capable of easily carrying full-sized adults.

Breeding and Uses

During World War II, the Haflinger was bred to be short and stocky, but since then the breeding focus has shifted to developing versatile horses that can be both ridden and driven, reflecting the modern breed traits common today.

Thanks to its versatility, the Haflinger performs and succeeds in many different activities. It’s a popular dressage, jumping, and Western show horse. It’s strong and sturdy enough to serve as a vaulting or packing mount. It also excels in pleasure driving, endurance riding, and trail riding. Its gentle temperament and people-loving personality make it ideal for therapeutic riding programs, too.

Colors and Markings

This breed is known for its golden chestnut coat and cream- or white-colored mane and tail. The Haflinger’s coat can range from a light gold to a darker chestnut or liver chestnut. Many Haflingers also have white points on their lower legs and faces.
