Haflinger Baby


This is a Haflinger baby owned by the Billette's. He's about 2 weeks old here, I think. He will be sold, Gates said. Haflingers are interesting horses to me, because they are all the same color, and I don't know of any other breed that is like that, unless all the Draft breeds are the same (in that way). Haflingers are always chestnut in color, varying in shade from blonde to dark chocolate. The manes and tails are one of the breeds most striking characteristics, being long, thick and flaxen to white in color. In contrast, for instance, all Quarter Horses have certain breed characteristics, but they can come in many different colors. This picture was taken on October 16th, 2005.
