The Haflinger originated in the Tyrolean mountains of Austria. Although the Haflinger was originally used as the family farm horse. All purebred Haflingers can be traced back to the original foundation sire of this breed, "249 Folie," in 1874. He was the result of breeding a half Arab stallion and a refined, native Tyrolean mare. They are now becoming known in throughout the world, especially in North America, for their versatility in and out of the show ring. The Haflinger performs well in western pleasure, dressage, jumping, driving, packing, trails, and farm work.
