Welcome to Keystone Haflinger Association
And
the Wonderful Golden Horse of the Tirol -- The Haflinger
KHA News and Site Updates |
|
Haflinger horses are
easily recognized by their signature, flaxen mane and tail flowing over
their golden chestnut coat. They are referred to as "America's
Family Horse," and are known and loved most for their personality and
gentle disposition. They love being with and working with
people. Through selective breeding for performance, their
athleticism and temperament make them well suited not only for draft work
(a common misconception) but also packing and trail riding, competition in
combined driving (CDE), pleasure driving and light harness. Their
trainability and eagerness to please make them perfect for ridden and
driven dressage, vaulting and jumping, cross country, Western and English
pleasure, Western reining and team penning. They excel as
therapeutic riding horses and all-around family horses. The Keystone Haflinger
Association is a social organization for people who want to share their
common interest in promoting the Haflinger breed. Throughout the
year we sponsor family outings, clinics, trail rides, pleasure
rides/drives, and an annual wagon train. Look for our booth at the
Horse Expo in February (Harrisburg), Keystone
International Livestock Expo (KILE) in October (Harrisburg), county fairs,
and various other locations where we can showcase these amazing animals.
Because there will be no more Haflinger Sales at Harrisburg in conjunction with the Draft Horse Sale, Keystone Haflinger Association has accepted the exciting opportunity to hold an all new Haflinger Sale at Mountain Springs Arena in Shartlesville, PA (just off Rt 78). The first sale will be held June 13th and 14th, 2008. Don't miss it! Many new activities are planned with the sale, so check back or contact any KHA officer.
Join
us in celebrating the Haflinger Horse.
