"Dyhlia"

Originally registered through the Canadian Haflinger Association, we transferred her into the American Haflinger Registry in 2019 to be more streamlined with our AHR-based breeding program. Out of a German A-line sire, Dyhlia shows off a very nice pedigree, which was a good fit for our program.

A great dam!
Dyhlia is a 2004-born, strong and large framed mare, measuring close to 14.3hh. She is very correct built and combined with her friendly, caring and pleasing mind makes a great broodmare.
Her sire and dam were both imported from Germany and her dam "Dixi" is a grand-daughter of the outstanding stallion 'Nestroy'.
Dyhlia gave us a really stunning filly in early 2000 (Daphne BTA) and got bred back to 'Bandito' for an April 2021 foal!
Her offspring....

We brought Huffy to our ranch from South Carolina in 2018 and knowing and riding her earlier offsprings, we can say with certainty, that she has proven herself to be an amazing broodmare. She is one of our top mares with a waiting list for her foals!
The Pangaré Gene
Huffy is a carrier of the Pangaré gene, which is characterized as a coat trait found in some horses that features pale hair around the eyes and muzzle and underside of the body. These pale areas can extend up to the flanks, throat and chest, behind the elbows, in front of the stifle, and up the buttock. Animals with the pangaré trait are sometimes also called "mealy" or "light-pointed".
In the picture above you can see Huffy with her 2020 colt "Baron BTA" out of "Bandito" Baron was sold to wonderful people in AB as a stallion prospect...I am sure you will hear more of him in the future!
Huffy's offsprings - Meet Austin EGR:
Austin is a 2011 colt out of Huffy EHF, sired by Atino, who was imported to Canada from Germany. He is our main ranch and riding horse and has impressed by his exceptional trainability, his athletic movements and versatility...from working cattle to liberty, trail rides to arena work to driving... he is so versatile, you can truly confront him with everything and he will please you with his willingness and fast learning abilities!

Praised for his beautiful movements, which he has passed on down the line, Lola's offsprings are bound to impress with their movements, making them very suitable for dressage as well as most other directions you would like to pursue...
Lola's 2020 colt: Bodhran BTA
Known for the Haflinger's versatility and great trainability, willingness to work and to please, Bodhran BTA, sired by Bandito, was just recently sold to Alberta to a great ranching family, who will train and use him for all-around ranch and cattle work!
Being a strong, well-muscled and balanced colt with a very quiet and friendly disposition, we are absolute certain that Bodhran ("Bo") will not disappoint his new family....
Unfortunately we were unable to breed her back in 2020 due to a back injury, however she has since fully recovered and will be bred again in spring of 2021.

What a pedigree.....
Nyssa produces stunning foals with very nice conformation and a lot of expression, which is no surprise given her impressive pedigree.

2011 AHR-registered mare, Reg.No.: 33465-11
Nala is a lighter coloured chestnut mare and while only standing 14.1hh tall, is amazingly strong and stout. She is a very well put together cross out of Nyssa TLF and Samson-C, who loves to work and please. She is very smart, energetic and also somewhat strong-minded, but still loving - a true power-horse and a pleasure to work with!
For her pedigree and more information, please click here.
A great ranch-horse!
Nala is a tough, little mare! - She works incredibly well out on the range moving cattle, is very forward going and moves through every terrain without hesitation or spooking, no matter if there are steep slopes, larger rivers, dense bush with blowdown or deep sandy hills. We call he our "power waggon" for a reason!
Her offsprings...
"Nala EGR" gave us 2 beautiful foals in 2016 and 2017. (in the picture is "Bolero BTA" by Bandito, now standing in Alberta as a great riding gelding)
In 2018 we started riding her more on the ranch as we needed more riding and lesson horses, which Nala has been doing ever since with perfection.
For 2021 we are planning on getting more into driving with her (single and team); however depending on how the year unfolds, we have not dismissed the idea of getting her bred again.
"Quite Fancy WUR" (Maggie)
2001 AHR-registered mare, Reg.No.: 32769-01
.'Maggie' is a beautiful, true golden-coloured chestnut mare and the smallest of our herd standing at 13.1hh tall. She is an original Canadian BC-bred mare, but with a rich German-Austrian heritage.
For her pedigree and more information, please click here.
A special, little mare....
Maggie has a lot of character! Although utmost sweet and loving towards us humans and being the smallest of the bunch, she is pretty much the leader of our herd!
With her shorter stature, a beautiful, fine head and a strong and nicely balanced body, she represents the old-style Haflinger type.
She's done it all.....
Maggie has served as a therapy horse for most of her life, then moved on to being a riding horse on Vancouver Island. After we brought her home in 2018, we used her as a lesson horse for one season (the kids lover her for her slow, smooth jog) before deciding to breed her for the first time. We bred her to Bandito in 2019 and got a stunning filly out of her in 2020 - "Quite Chilcotin BTA" We can't wait to see how she will develop with her new owner in Northern BC.
Maggie is bred to "Antourage of Genesis" for a July 2021 foal.

What a gentle mare.....
Although Nicky just joined the broodmare herd in March 2021, she settled in very well and has become one of the most pleasant horses to be around on the ranch. She has a most gentle and agreeable character, very easy to handle and just wants to please...
Her 2021 offspring: "Samurai BTA" (name pending)
