The Haflinger Horse, also known as the Avelignese, is a horse breed established towards the end of the 19th century in Austria and Northern Italy. Haflinger Horses are very small, mostly flax-male and tail-male chestnut and have strong-defined smooth gaits, and still elegantly stirred.
The race's head and light poll are streamlined. The neck is average in length from their slopped shoulders and deep chest. The back is medium-length and gently sloping and strongly muscled. Haflinger Horses are used for several specific reasons, including light shooting, harness, and numerous sports such as fitness, dressage, horse-drawn sailing, and counsel riding.
Haflinger Horses have a shoulder height of 13.5-15 hands (54”-60” | 137-152 cm), an overall weight in the range of 800-1300 lb (363-590 kg) and a typical lifespan of 25-30 years. Haflinger Horses have a Chestnut coat color.
