Haflinger

We are pioneering a new cross called the Austro-Iberian.  The haflinger is a small draft breed, the National horse of Austria.  It is a strong, kind, family horse bred for alpine farming and introduced into this country by the Amish and Menonnites.  We have found that crossing this breed with Andalusian studs produces a strong athletic sport horse with incredible balance, harmony of movement and a great temperament.  Some produced to date are shown below.

Starz WKH- 1998 multi talented mare, who never has a bad day.  She plays the keyboard and guitar, drives single and double, jumps, plays catch with a beachball, smiles and can do math problems in multiple languages.  She has performed in front of many audiences large and small and was featured in 2007 in the Haflinger breed magazine.  We named the 2008 foal Einstein.  Starz was sired by Aspen's Archie MSC and is out of Suchie.  She is back in foal to Magico, our multi-champion Andalusian stallion, who is also quite a trick horse.  Starz has already taught Einstein RDL to play catch and play the keyboard.
