What Is a Haflinger Horse? Origins and Characteristics

The Haflinger is a strong, elegant and friendly breed originating in the Alps of Austria and northern Italy. It takes its name from the village of Hafling in South Tyrol. Thanks to a build adapted to harsh mountain conditions, a muscular body and sound hooves, it keeps excellent balance even at high altitude.

Known for their gleaming golden coats, pale manes and warm-blooded character, Haflinger horses are extremely well suited both to experienced riders and to guests riding for the first time. Their gentle temperament and affinity with people also make them a favourite with families with children.
