The Haflinger horse was first imported into the United States in 1958 from the mountains of the Austrian Tyrol. There are over 14,000 registered Haflingers in North America now, and the numbers are rapidly growing. The horse ranges from 52 to 59 inches tall and weighs from 800 to 1,200 pounds. The Haflinger is chestnut, ranging from honey blond to chocolate, with a mane and tail ranging from pure white to flaxen. The horse is known for its versatility--riding, driving and working. The Haflinger has a calm temperament, making it a fine children's horse. More information on the Haflinger is available from the Association's home office listed at the end of the page.
The SEHA Achievement Program is going strong. Contact Ingrid Jensen at 334-740-4415 or willmonconstr@aol.com. For details of the program click here.
