Haflinger Haven is a private rehabilitation and retirement farm for Haflingers in Central Illinois. I have always had horses. I love them all dearly.
From show jumping to a trail guide to now…I fell in love with Haflingers and then rehabilitating needy horses. So now I have a Retirement and Rehabilitation farm for Haflingers. I take in owner surrenders, some that came with their sibling or parent or friend to stay together forever. Some people want their horses rehabilitated and to become a child’s horse or some other partnership. Since I’m not
in it for sales and therefore not on a timeline I can take all the time in the world to find perfect homes. I buy some that I see at auctions or at risk, or from bad situations. Some of these can be rehabilitated and I will sometimes find homes for them..some stay. I prefer to take horses that are at least 20 but if there are circumstances or issues that dictate they are ready to retire younger is fine too. I have excellent vet and farrier care and references and my farm is about 15-20 mins from the U of I teaching and large animal hospital. I have a dry lots, a barn, shelters, a wooded trail paddock and pastures. I like to rotate the horses around for enrichment. I feed Purina feeds, targeted supplements, alfalfa pellets, beet pulp. Grass and/or mix hay in excellent quality small bales and slow feed nets available 24/7. Once upon a time I was a veterinary technician so I can attend to illness and injury with guidance from my vet. I have experience with Laminitis, cushings, colic, equine asthma, wound care etc. I also have a wonderful trainer who helps me if any behavioral issues become serious. It is my goal to support my horses health both physically and emotionally. They are all individuals and I care for them that way. Feel free to message me with any questions if I can help you. �

At the new farm I am closer to the U of I large animal clinic. I have a whole new program in development for pre vet volunteers. The horses appreciate the extra attention!

An artist I happened across…beautiful memorial pieces and cute horsey things. Maybe next years raffle will be a piece from here too.

Welcome Ivy! ❤️
A gorgeous young lady who’s all legs! Very sweet. Still settling in but enjoying the attention from my new volunteers and me, of course!
Edit: Ivy is a surrender and is extremely loved. She will not ever be available. Hopefully, she can be rehabbed and possibly go back to Ohio. I’ll do my best for her! ❤️

Gold!
More coming this week..thank goodness!
another of my suppliers doesn’t have enough for me after I was counting on his hay…
Hay is what I think about when I wake up and when I go to sleep…my babies need hay.

Lucky for all of you I’m the worst fund raiser in history!! I’ve sold 19 tickets for lil’bandit and depending on where I need to ship him I will “almost” break even! 🤪
Anyone else want to buy tix? 6.50 each which is the actual current price of a bale of hay! Unless it’s alfalfa…unless it’s delivered…both are more.
Any advice on how I can fundraise for the horses are welcome.
Happy Holidays to all!

Hi! Caitlyn, Michelle's daughter, here, dropping in to plug the birthday fundraiser and to thank all of HH's incredible followers. It's been amazing to see this page grow over the last couple of years and see the endless love and support you guys offer my mom and the herd.❤️❤️
This year, we're doing a raffle for these cute little handmade Haffies. Tickets are $6.50, which is enough to buy a bale of hay!
Payment can be made via check (PM for address), Venmo (-Hartman-66), or Paypal ([email protected]). Just make sure to leave your name and some way to contact you so we can get these little fellas to the winners~
I'm gonna plug some other donation opportunities if raffles aren't your thing, so here is the gofundme link for any gifted donations: https://gofund.me/20b9c9d6
Also, also! In a couple weeks haychix.com is having a Black Friday sale and the farm is in dire need of half bale, and round bale nets.
Visit our Linktree, which has links to her Amazon and Smartpak wishlists, as well as the vet's website.
Thanks again everyone, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!! I love you so much ❤️❤️❤️

Liam’s opinion of the new place…it’s his opinion of Everything.

Eek!

Rocky having his first mash now that he has a stall! It’s his reward for “eventually” getting on the trailer today! Kidding- he’s thin..so he’ll get some every night. 😊

Big moving today…
28/10/2023
Here’s Banjo. Cozy inside while is pouring rain outside..he’s definitely thinking about peeing on that hay. 🥴
28/10/2023
Update: I’m still trying to figure out who to put where and with who! This is not a simple task as they all need different environments and get analog with different friends!
I had the Most Wonderful helper today. What I would imagine to be a weeks worth of work was done today. 🥰🥰🥰 Many thanks to Jose!!
In other news. Miss Lass found a new home today! I will miss her so much, and her friends will too. However, I stand by my opinion that most are better with a family than in a rescue. ❤️😭

Looking content and peaceful after s**t disturbing all day. 😬

Some pics from around the new place!
Some helpful hippos making dry lots for the lami kids..my first delivery…oldies in the big ( not pig!!)pasture …Scarlett being smart and figuring out the auto water..Riley looking for anything green to eat in his brown turnout. A problematic leak…foursome on pasture..and the most gorgeous huge old oak! 🥰

I am making dry lots but for now this works!!! 😝

Please bear with me..I can’t express how complicated and difficult it is moving an entire farm..I’m exhausted and not one piece of furniture has left my house for the new one yet. It’s crazy.
Here are three of my boys. ❤️❤️❤️
Bandit, Jake and Major…Major is the only one who needs some grass! Thank goodness these sweethearts come when i call! 🤪🥴

Definitely time for fresh memes.
Love and thanks to all of my followers. Feel free to take any of these that speak to you! As always. 🙂

I went for the final walk through at the new farm this afternoon! 😬
Closing tomorrow…I’ll be moving horses in right away. Starting with Webster, Wesley, Leah, Adara and all of the mini munchkins.
I’m excited, nervous, sad and every thing a person could imagine.
The best thing is that I can get my babies out of the weather. I’ll be able to provide more targeted care to each individual. It absolutely drives me crazy how some think you care for horses this way or that. Each horse Is an individual. This chance to provide individual care is the best thing about this move.
Except for auto Water!!!!!! That’s my favorite!!!
I’ve been hauling 300’ of hoses all over all these years…I won’t miss that!!

I am surprised by how many of the babes are getting SO fuzzy already! It has been below 40 two or three nights though. I had a fire last night even…anyway! Lol This is the perfect time of year to talk about our unique Haflingers and their Pangere gene and coat colors!
Here is Wikipedia’s explanation for those that are not familiar. 😊
Pangaré is a coat trait found in some horses that features pale hair around the eyes and muzzle and underside of the body. These pale areas can extend up to the flanks, throat and chest, behind the elbows, in front of the stifle, and up the buttock.[1] Animals with the pangaré trait are sometimes ...

Babe and Silas going out for the day..
My best and most beloved man is really struggling….he’s had two different sets of special shoes in the past month or so…he gets Bute in the morning and 23 Tylenol at night. My whole entire team has been trying everything possible to try and make my sweet old man comfortable and happy. I think they all know how much he means to me. 😓 I think his time has come though..something about him has changed..his sass..his eyes. He is different. I can’t imagine my farm without him. I’ve had a lot of loss here but there is nothing that can prepare me for the loss of Silas. Two different sets of shoes and all the pain meds this week alone. This video tells his story…
Baya update: she is in need of a refresher! Doesn’t stand very well for tacking up. Sassy to ride. She was feeling Buddy sour today we think. Still a nice mare with lots of potential. I paid 1700 not including transport or any cares. She is now available for 1400 obo. She is friendly and I feel that she will be a good girl with some one on one time.
These two were SO bored today!!! 🤣 Aka…let us out! Wait we just begged to come in. We are hungry. What is this drivel. See our review for this place on Yelp. 👎🏻

lil’Buddy ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Cinnamon @ U of I Large Animal for ovariectomy tomorrow. She was rearing in the trailer a minute ago but didn’t want me to have proof! Lol This mare has been a handful and very unlike any of the other Haflingers that I have dealt with so far. She is volatile and insecure and sometimes dangerous. She is mine for life though as she was left to me for safe keeping by some very kind people who loved her very much. They have since passed away and I promised that I will always keep her safe and loved. I have tried everything imaginable to help her with her demeanor and this is my last hurrah at giving her more comfort and peace. Anyone looking for a safe haven for their trouble child, oldie or retired horse are welcome to reach out to me. I don’t charge any retirement farm board but I do ask that you do what you can to get your horse here or send a donation to support them. I spend an average of 500-700 on initial care for new residents to bring them up to date on care and diagnostics to find out what ails them. That way I can use more of my money to help horses like Cinnamon who need a ton of vet care. ❤️🙂
Sir Lance ❤️ He reminds me so much of Buddy! Of course this is good news for him. 😉
