What is a Haflinger horse? Origin and characteristics

The Haflinger is a strong, elegant, and friendly breed whose origins trace back to Austria and the Northern Italian Alps. It takes its name from the village of Hafling in South Tyrol. Thanks to its build adapted to harsh mountain conditions, muscular body, and strong hooves, it provides excellent balance even at high altitudes.

Known for its golden‑toned coat, light mane, and warm temperament, Haflinger horses are highly suitable for both experienced riders and guests riding for the first time. Their gentle nature and people‑friendly behavior also make them a favorite of families with children.
