Origin of the Haflinger
The world-famous Haflinger horse breed originated in Vinschgau. In 1874, the colt 249 Folie was born at the stud farm of the breeder Josef Folie in Schluderns. Folie, the son of an oriental stallion and a Galician country mare, impressed with his harmonious combination of strength and elegance. All 7 bloodline founders of the breed can be traced back to him.
