The largest breeding success of the Tyrolean Haflinger Horse Breeders Association is every horse throughout the whole association area, because since 1946 it has developed into a modern and elegant leisure horse. Anotherbreeding success of the Tyrolean breeders is to disseminate the Haflinger of Tyrol throughout the world. The Haflinger horse has been sold into over 60 countries, to all the continents and thus also into all climates. However, the origin of the Haflinger horse, which in today’s discussions is often misunderstood, is without question Tyrol. At the origin of the breed, in the KuK Monarchy of Austria, South Tyrol, East Tyrol and North Tyrol were all one. The separation took place after the WWI and so the development of the Haflinger was suspended. The Tyrolean Haflinger HorseBreeders Association successfully continued to develop into the world known horse from 1946 onwards. Reaching the present breed as well as the dissemination of the Haflinger breed throughout the world are the two biggest achievements of the Tyrolean Haflinger Horse Breeders Association.
In 2000 liz.200/T Abendstern was for the first time World Champion, and Dorata, after her victory at the European Championship, was World Champion Mare. For the first time two siblings were the overall winning horses.
At the 2003 European Haflinger Show liz.200/T Abendstern was again successful, Champion Marewas the sister of Dorata and Abendstern, the mare Dematteo. These two also won the Haflinger World Exhibition in 2005. Consistency inthe breed, not only at a show, but over the years, are evidence of the quality of the Tyrolean horses.
Since 1990 the Haflinger World Exhibitions has always been a highlight in the presentation of the breed. 1000 Haflinger horses make this event the biggest breed show in the world, a further proof of the quality of the purebred Haflinger horsesas an international breed.
