A new era for world-wide Haflinger breeding

New World Haflinger Breeding and Sports Federation founded on 1 February 2013

For over a year, the international cooperation in Haflinger breeding was a key topic for the representatives of Haflinger breeders' associations and especially for the officials of the federations in Italy and Austria. On several occasions the negotiations were on the brink of failure, and it is only thanks to the preparatory efforts and the commitment of the federation officials that on 1 February a new umbrella organisation was successfully founded in Ebbs (A). The founding session was marked by an excellent atmosphere which proves that a new chapter is about to be written in global Haflinger breeding: an era characterised by sincere collaboration. 16 organisations have already joined the new Federation as regular members and four have signed up as associate members.
