Foal Friday features MF Alchemy (A Black Tie Affair NW_HRZN x Musique New Horizons/Stellar TVR), aka Kemmie, bred by Amanda Flood in Australia. Kemmie is developing so nicely, and has such a gorgeous head! It's very exciting to have a stallion prospect who is second generation breeding on both side of the pedigree from our breeding program in Australia! Musique was bred by us, purchased in utero by Amanda and exported to Australia a couple of years ago in foal to "Tux." Tux was also bred by us and is owned by Jennie Deephouse, who purchased him in utero from us. This cross turned out exactly how we hoped. We are so excited to watch Kemmie grow into a future stallion prospect, bringing new bloodlines to the land down under!

Then and now. I think the son may be even better than the sire! That is exactly what you hope for when you breed--to improve the next generation. First two pictures are Stellar as a weanling in 2008, a couple of months after he was imported from Austria. Other photos are his son, Stellar Artois New Horizons, aka Junior, out of our Arno daughter, Romantique. Junior continues to make us excited for the future with his wonderful temperament and ease of handling.

Oh Rikka! Rikka has been outshone a bit by her younger sister, Regina, but this amazing mare is why I purchased Regina.😊 Ricola DTA (Adanac x Ricarda II GF/Nabucco) is coming twenty years young and has lived here since she was two years old. She is a Westfalen Premium and inspection Champion, AHR Silver classified, and AWS Year-End-Inspection Gold Medal winner in the sport pony division out of all breeds inspected in the U.S. in 2010. I bought Ricola off of a photo I saw in the AHR magazine in 2007 after her inspection as a two-year-old. I was fortunate that I made the call when I did (and that the person I bought her from kept his word), because a friend called him about buying her right after I sealed the deal on the phone. Ricola was trained under saddle by Jennie Deephouse of Dreamfield Manor Farm and shown to great success by her at the double-judged Twin Birch Show in 2010 after only 45 days under saddle, winning her English Pleasure class under both judges and showing in intro dressage and western pleasure as well. Rikka has had numerous Premium foals and mares for us through RPSI and Westfalen, silver and Gold offspring throughout AHR, and is the dam of two approved stallions by two different sires (one Westfalen and Weser Ems and another AHR), including the first small horse/pony stallion of any/all breeds to attend the new three-day format of the North American Stallion Sport Test. Rikka produces athletic, powerful moving offspring that are easy to train with great minds, excellent bone and size (averaging 15.1H, with one Stellar daughter, Rivendell, @15.3H). Rikka sometimes got a very dark liver chestnut color when she was younger--especially after her first foal was born, which I didn't like myself, but many other people really liked. 😊 All of Rikka's ten foals have sold in utero. Rikka is bred back to Stellar for 2025. Her foal is currently available.

11/20/2024

Stallion Wednesday features another stallion I've always liked, Allen CAF (Afghan III NTF x P-Carrot NTF/Waro van de Haflingerhoeve) bred by John and Judy Miller and owned by Miller/Kuhns/Waylon. Allen is a tall, red, gorgeous stallion that was trained to drive, but mostly promoted in the draft world (from what I recall). Allen is twenty-eight-years of age. He is not on the current list of AHR licenses stallions, so hopefully he is enjoying retirement somewhere.

Haflinger History Tuesday--Did you know... that long ago the AHR used to run two sales a year with hundreds of horses in them? And, there were multiple other regional sales that took place as well. At the October 27-28, 2000 American Halfling Registry all age sale there were 319 horses that went through the sale in Ohio. At the Fall 2000 Land of Lincoln Haflinger sale that happened the week before that in Illinois there were 245 Haflingers that went through the sale. 2001 had even more Haflingers represented at shows and sales. At the AHR fall sale in October 2001 there were 452 horses that went through the sale. At the Buckeye Halflinger sale in September 2001 there were 174 horses that went through the sale. At the Land of Lincoln sale in fall 2001 there were 311 horses that went through the sale. There were many shows back then as well, and classes were quite large at the shows and futurities, including the GLHA and AHR show and futurities that took place, as well as the AHR National Show. There were @ 779 AHR registered Haflinger stallions in 2000, including almost 200 A-line stallions, 9 B-line stallions, @257 M-line stallions, @110 N-line, 11 S-line, @100 St-line, and @92 W-line stallions. The cover of the AHR Special Stallion Edition for December 2000/January 2001 featured two-time National Grand Champion Pleasure Stallion, Aristique TOF (Aristocrat TOF x Devia TOF/Strumer) owned by Ann and Scott Taylor/Wild Haven Farm. In 2001 there were more registered stallions yet, with 839 total AHR licensed stallions: 218 A-line, 10 B-line, 264 M-line, 131 N-line, 2 S-line, 114 St-line, and 100 W-line stallions. The cover of the December 2001/January 2002 Annual Stallion Edition was the Dutch import Nando (Notaris x Jessica/Atoll) owned by Bill and Chuck Hendershot/Hendershots New Millenium Haflingers. The early 2000s was the "heyday" for the Haflinger breed in the U.S., and when they were the most Haflingers in the United States. (I believe they numbered over 10,000 at one point in the early 2000s.)

Mare Monday features the lovely Lilly--PIM'S Third Verse VHH (Alfa of Genesis x Poetry in Motion VHH/Wazertakt). ❤ Lilly is AHR Silver classified at 78 points and was entered into the main mare book of Westfalen. She was bred by Brandy and Al Wagner, was owned by us for a time, and is now owned by Marcy Foss. Westfalen photos credit to Red Pony Photography.

Oh Gina, you are such a beautiful girl! I wish we had gotten this big-bodied, powerful moving mare earlier in her life. She was trained to drive in her younger years, but she would have been fantastic in the dressage ring. We were so excited that Gina was awarded Premium and Champion mare out of eight Warmblood, Thoroughbred, Welsh and Haflinger mares at the Michigan Westfalen inspection this year just a few months after we acquired her! Regina DTA (Wizard IEF x Ricarda II GF/Nabucco) is due with her first foal by Stellar TVR in mid- July 2025. She comes from one of the strongest maternal lines in Austria, and from Champion Dutch lines on her sire's side going back to Wempire. Her future breeding and performance prospect is currently available in utero. All photos credit Dutch Arbor Photography.

Black Friday is in two weeks!! If you have been thinking about purchasing one of our foals now might be a good time to do so! We will be running a Black Friday discount on in utero foals that are still available that can be applied to our 2025 or 2026 in utero foals.🐎 The discount will only apply if deposit and signed purchase agreement are received by December 20th. Stay tuned and be sure to check back on the 29th for more info! We have full siblings to the below foals due in 2025, and plan matings for the same siblings, plus possibly one more (if someone is interested in a full sibling to Junior in 2026). We are expecting our first Stellar foal out of our Westfalen Premium Inspection Champion mare, Regina DTA, in 2025, so we don't have pictures of her foals. But, we have some photos of her below. Based on what Gina has produced in the past, on her bloodlines, and the fact that she is a maternal sister to our Westfalen Premium Inspection Champion mare, Ricola, who has produced outstanding offspring by Stellar and other stallions, we fully expect Gina to have a stunning foal by Stellar as well. This is what we are expecting:

2025
Rikka x Stellar-available
Gina x Stellar-available
Zinda x Stellar-sold in utero
Rivy x Brenner-sold in utero

2026
All of the above currently available to reserve, plus Teake can be bred to Stellar if someone is interested in that cross.

Note that Teake and Rikka are coming 20 next year. It's so hard to believe! We will only breed them through 23 years of age (with their last foal being born in 2023) before retiring them from breeding, so there are only three breeding seasons of foals that will be available from them after this year.😊

Foal Friday features seven full siblings bred by us out of our Supreme mare, R Noble Rose APF (now retired) and by the Supreme stallion Arno van het Nieshof. (Names and year of birth under each photo.) It's so hard to believe that Rosie and Arno are coming 25 and 26 years old respectively. We started our business in 2000 when we purchased Rosie as our foundation mare. How blessed we have been to own this special mare, and to have her happy and healthy in her retirement "rooming" with Rivy, of all horses!

11/15/2024

Such a gentle, sweetheart of a stallion.🥰Stellar TVR ❤️

11/14/2024

Then and now...Romantique (Arno van het Nieshof x R Noble Rose APF/Nobleman of Tudor Oaks) and I seventeen years ago in 2007 at the AHR National Show and the AHR National Futurity in Michigan, the 2007 Twin Birch Classic in New York, and in 2011 at the Buck's County Horse Park USDF DSHB show in Pennsylvania. Teake almost always placed at the top of her class when shown in hand. She went on to have a very successful career under saddle in dressage and lower level horse trials on the East and west coast through first level before retiring from her performance career to return home and join our small, select group of broodmares. Her 2023 and 2024 foals by Stellar were both awarded Premium and site inspection Champion foals through Westfalen. This mare is truly special and my heart horse.😊

11/13/2024

Stallion Wednesday features the Austrian stallion, Walzertakt (Winterstein x Schelma/Afghan II), who was leased from Austria in 2000 for a couple of years by Tudor Oaks Farm before he returned to Austria and was later sold to Germany. Walzertakt was one of the most popular stallions standing in Ebbs, and has sired numerous Champion and highest scoring sons and daughters in Austria and the United States.

Haflinger history Tuesday. Breeding to improve the next generation is what serious breeders should focus on. While some people say everything is for sale, we have mares that we would never consider selling. Our Rosie mare is our foundation mare who has had fourteen outstanding foals for us by three different stallions. Rosie is retired from breeding now, but Romantique is her daughter that we kept to carry on that mareline. Our Rikka mare is another important mare who has had twelve oustanding foals for us by two different stallions thus far. Even though Rikka is still breeding we bought back her Stellar daughter bred by us, Rivendell, to carry on her mare line, and have kept Rivy's first filly by the Grand Prix stallion, Brenner IK, to continue that line. And, this year we purchased a maternal sister to Rivy with different Dutch lines on the sire's side to continue that mare line, but bring in different bloodlines as well. Now I have three generations of two different mare lines here: Rosie--Teake--Junior, and Rikka--Rivy--Remy. Plus, Rikka's maternal sister, Regina, and Rivy's full sister, Rösl. It's a family affair.😊 Having mares that have produced numerous offspring over the past twenty years, as well as foals out of those offspring that have improved in each generation, is how we can confidently say that we produce sport horses of consistent quality year after year. We have purchased a number of mares over the years, but the ones that we have settled on to become members of our small, select herd meet all of our criteria, which include not only excellent conformation, type and movement, but equally important--even more importantly--excellent temperament, character, trainability and rideability. Our horses may cost more than some others, but they come with the assurance that you are purchasing some of the best quality horses bred for sport in the breed anywhere, with numerous happy clients who have become friends and who can speak to that fact. Our focus has always been on quality over quantity. We invite you to visit our website at www.newhorizonshaflingers.com to find out more about our vision, our horses, and their accomplishments. (Please note that we still need to make updates from this year.)

Mare Monday features Zanadu GGHF (Zolanda CWA/Mistral) bred by Kevin Edwards and owned by Jennie Deephouse. Zanadu is the dam of our Westfalen Premium mare, Zinderella of Dreamfield (Zinda). Zanadu is a lovely, smart and very trainable mare who has produced some outstanding offspring.

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!!🎉🎊🥂🍻

Stellar TVR (Straden x Chione/Altess) in late November 2023 at almost sixteen years young!🤩
