107.0. "Haflingers...?" by SHRFAC::KELLEY () Mon Sep 10 1990 20:17

    Went the the third annual drafthorse show in North Hampton, MA.
    was impressed with the Haflingers again...
    
    Like to get some input from noters who are formilar or experienced
    with working and handling them...
    
    Maybe this should be in note 199...[Drafthorses]...but not much
    activity there...
    
    What have been your experiences with them...???

107.1They're GREAT !SALEM::RATAYTue Sep 11 1990 12:197
    I love them !
    
    They make excellent driving horses, or riding, I happen to love
    driving, so that comes first, because of their sturdy build they
    are rugged on trails, they are a pleasure to have in the barn, no
    fuss....I have some info at home, if interested I could copy and
    mail to you......

107.3Thanks for Info...SHRFAC::KELLEYTue Sep 11 1990 22:4714
    Thanks...my mail stop...SHR1-3/F14......
    
    Have you spent much time driving them...?...They seem to be so
    versatile...driving,draught,trail riding and also hauling backcountry
    gear...
    
    I spoke with one of the owners at the draught show and he said they
    were really easy keepers...[his animals looked great]...he feed
    them hay off his farm and didn't feed grain supplements. He feeds
    good quality hay mixed with a low percent of alfalfa.  He lets them
    graze for shorts periods because he said they tend to put the weight
    on...
    
    He couldn't said enough of how they are an ease to work with......
