Haflinger Horses
At the end of a millions of years long history we find a noble elegant riding horse. Jenesien and the surrounding Sarntal Alps have shaped the characteristics of Haflingers. Because of their former useful service as workings horses, their cross-country capability and their mountaineering ability the Austrian military vehicle Steyr Puch Haflinger was named after these mountain horses.
Today the Haflinger is by far the most popular small horse in Germany and in many other countries. The likeable reddish horses with their long blonde manes and tails are increasingly entered in competitions and are now a common sight in dressage, jumping and driving events. In their native South Tyrol Haflingers are also linked with customs and traditions. This connection is evidenced in many events.
