Haflinger History Tuesday features the first and only photo (taken of a painting) I've ever seen of 249 Folie, the foundation stallion of the Haflinger breed. (Many thanks to Emily Bambridge for sharing the photo of Folie!) 249 Folie was born in South Tyrol (then Austria) in 1874. His dam was a refined Tyrolean mare, and his sire was the Arab stallion 133 El Bedavi XXII born in 1968 (who is said to also have a Tyrolean mare in his ancestry). All registered Haflinger stallions can trace their lineage to 249 Folie. Folie was crossed on a Tyrolean mare from an area near Hafling (now Italy in South Tyrol, close to the border), and the Haflinger breed was born.

To get more specific, 249 Folie had two sons--his namesake, 14 Folie, born in 1887, and liz. 252/233 Hafling born in 1897. The A-line through Anselmo (born in 1926) can trace directly back to 14 Folie through 32 Campi (born in 1896), and the W-line can be traced directly back to Folie through liz. Willi (born in 1921) through 291 Jenner (born in 1908), then liz. Hafling. The other five stallion lines (B, M, N, S, St) trace back to the stallion liz. 42 Mandl born in 1904, and from there to 14 Folie through 54 Genter (born in 1897). This information and more can be found in the geneology tables found in Haflinger Horses: Origins, Breeding and Care by Otto Schweisgut, p. 90).

Mare Monday features our Westfalen Premium mare Regina DTA (Wizard IEF x Ricarda II GF/Nabucco), bred by Abe Miller. Gina has been featured at different times since we purchased her in April 2023. We purchased Regina at age 15 specifically for her bloodlines, because she is a maternal sister to our top-producing Westfalen Premium mare, Ricola DTA (by Adanac). We also love the fact that she is by Wizard, who is by the Dutch import Willo van het S***k. Willo is by Wempire, a Dutch National Champion stallion. Gina is due with her Stellar foal in mid- July, the same time that Rikka is due with her Stellar foal. Both of these foals are still available in utero. Rikka's Stellar foals have good bone and powerful, uphill elastic movement with a great hind leg. We expect Gina's Stellar foal to be very similar, with maybe a bit more refinement and loftier trot. Gina is a big-bodied mare with clean bone who stands . She has a huge, lofty, powerful trot, lovely uphill canter, is a beautiful red chestnut with pure white mane and tail, and has a beautiful head with a large, kind eyes. We expect her foal by Stellar to be stunning!! Special consideration on both of these foals if they go to show homes and/or people interested in keeping the foal as a stallion if either has a c**t.

Throwback Thursday Then and Now features the Stellar son Stripling Warrior out of Carmello Candy LJH (Nargo CAF), bred by Julie and Jim Chapman and owned by Kami Rollins. Stripling was born in 2022 and hit 15H as a two-year-old a few months ago, so he is going to be a big boy! We so appreciate getting photos of horses our clients bred and following their careers and development! And, we especially appreciate it when people who purchase horses that are sold by our clients stay in touch with us! 😊

Stallion Wednesday features the B-line stallion genealogy table that is found in the "Haflinger- The Golden horse with the Golden Heart" book by Hannes Schweisgut. As mentioned two weeks ago, the book comes with wonderful poster pin-ups of the stallion lines going through many generations. This week features the A-line stallions. As expected, the B-line stallions listed are not as extensive as the A-line, taking up one small poster at the time the book was published. I've always wanted to create new geneology tables where these ones left off. Maybe someday I will.😊

Haflinger History Tuesday--Did you know...that while A-line stallions were the first stallion line initially considered to be the "modern-type" (now commonly referenced as sporthorse-type) Haflinger, other stallion lines like the N-line and St-line also had some modern-looking horses, even twenty-five years ago. That is due in part to many horses of those lines having A-line stallions in their pedigree. In the U.S. the M-line was considered the "heaviest" (as in bigger-bodied/more mass). The N-line was often somewhere in the middle, while the W-line, though typey, was often smaller in size. The B- and S-lines were often older style, with very limited numbers in the U.S. Today you can find stallions of all lines that are sport horse and modern type, although the A-line stallions still appear the most "sporty" in type. In Austria and some other countries throughout Europe you will find even more from all of the different lines that are sporty in type due to the fact that they require evaluation of breeding stock, and horses that do not need the standard are culled from breeding programs. In the United States, you can still find older style Haflingers in all the lines because unlike many other countries, the U.S. does not require evaluation of breeding stock. Thus, there are some people who breed anything to anything and cross their horses on draft ponies, which is unfortunate. The same goes for mare lines. Twenty-five years ago the most sought after mares for breeders in the U.S. looking to breed modern type Haflingers were mares by A-line stallions, or by other stallion lines that were influenced by A-line stallions and thus more sporty in type. Afghan II mares were especially popular and more difficult to come by as they aged and as less were available. Below are some photos of some stallions from the 1980s-1990s and other stallions from ten to twenty years later through today. This is in no way a comprehensive list, but just an example of what some of the different modern sporty lines looked like twenty-five to thirty-five plus years ago, and what others look like now. (I've tried to include at least one stallion for every line.)

Haflinger History Tuesday--Did you know... that the first Haflinger World show was held in 1990 at the Fohlenhof in Ebbs, Austria? There were 440 horses at the World Show that year, with 180 broodmares with foals. (Even horses from the USA attended that show.) Their motto was "Breeding Means Thinking in Generations," so at that time individual horses were not permitted to be presented by themselves. Mares and stallions were shown in collections (family group) by generation. Eleven stallions with their offspring in generations were presented. Twenty-six young stock collections from various sires in sequential generations were shown, and twenty-eight young stock collections from mares who had three to six offspring were also shown. (Information taken from "Halflinger The Golden Horse With the Golden Heart" by Johannes Schweisgut, p.67.) Over 700 Haflingers were presented at the 2024 World Haflinger Show in Austria. The 2025 World Haflinger Show will be held May 29th to June 1st in Ebbs, Austria at the Fohlenhof.

Mare Monday features A "AAA" Review HMF (Nimbus NTF x Akelei NTF/Nobleman of Tudor Oaks), aka Revi, an AHR Silver Classifed mare with spectacular movement bred by Walter and Linda Metz and owned and trained by Jennie Deephouse.
From Dreamfield Manor Farm: Revi has a long resume of Championships on the line from Haflinger shows as well as USDF Sport Horse shows. This beautful athletic pony (14.1h) was the first of our DFM mares to win on the line at Dressage at Devon in 2009 in a small but very competitive class. Revi has enjoyed Grand Champion Mare at KILE Pleasure Haflinger Show as well as always placing high on the line, and is also a talented and very versatile pony under saddle. She has been shown as an all round Pleasure Haflinger in Western, hunters, dressage, and Pleasure classes.

Revi's son, An Extraordinary Gentleman DFM, aka GQ, is a gorgeous, tall, and beautiful mover by A Black Tie Affair NW HRZNS. GQ was bred by Jennie Deephouse and is owned by Echo Casale.

All of the furry kids are tucked in in advance of the Arctic blast beginning tonight! (It wouldn't let me share the video with the photos in the previous post.)

Foal Friday features Romantique's 2023 Stellar TVR filly, Ra's Avienda New Horizons. Venda was born a year ago last night (June 13, 2023) and was purchased in utero by Kelly Beck. Happy birthday Venda!❤️

Rosie is enjoying her new career as a trail horse in her retirement! She's such an incredible mare. The last time she was ridden regularly was in 2006. The last time I think anyone was on her back was 2007 (for a few minutes in the pasture). And, I don't recall her ever being on a trail ride. This video makes my heart so happy!❤️ Rosie is being leased by the person who bought her daughter, Arby (now known as Riot), who only lives about an hour and a half away from us. Thank you so much, Bri, for giving Rosie the opportunity to be more than a pasture puff in retirement.😊

One of the most memorable occasions in the Equine part of my life was getting to attend the 2013 North American Stallion Performance Testing in Oklahoma with great friends to watch Stellar perform.❤ He received outstanding scores in all areas and was approved into the top studbooks of RPSI, Westfalen and Weser Ems.

This is just a handful of some of the horses out of our mares bred by us over the years as foals and adults by Stellar TVR, Arno van het Nieshof and Alfa of Genesis.

Stellar TVR looking like the dreamboat he is.❤ Photos are from exactly a year ago (January 2023).

All of the furry kids got a break from the weather tonight and came inside.😊

Thats a wrap on 2023! We look forward to 2024 with great anticipation, especially for Rivy's foal by the German imported Grand Prix dressage stallion, Brenner IK, due in May!! We are so blessed to have had four lovely, healthy fillies this year, three that sold in utero and one that wasn't offered for sale (because we initially planned on keeping her), that sold to a wonderful person who has been talking to me for three years about buying a foal. I'm so happy that we were able to make that dream come true! 😊 We already have foals sold in utero for 2024 and 2025, with one still available out of Teake by Stellar for 2024. We were also able to help out a client and bring Flawless back home, and paid it forward so that now she has a forever home with one of our wonderful boarders. As of this past year we now have horses out of our breeding program all over the world in Australia, Italy, Canada, Mexico, and from coast to coast in the U.S., including Alaska. We are so blessed and so grateful to have wonderful boarders who also take amazing care of the farm when we are gone. And, I am forever grateful for my clients, friends and family! May the New Year bring love, hope, good health, prosperity and peace to you and your loved ones! Happy New Year!!🎉🎊🥂🍻
