Who We Are

​The Canadian Haflinger Association was incorporated in 1981, shortly after the first import of Haflingers into Canada in the 1970’s. Animals are registered with the Canadian Livestock Records Corporation and the rules of the Canadian Haflinger Association’s By-Laws are backed up by the Animal Pedigree Act and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. TheAssociation is guided by an elected board of directors, recognized by the World Haflinger ​Federation, and accepted world wide.

The Canadian Haflinger Association is a group of enthusiastic Haflinger owners dedicated to promoting our wonderful horses. Through this Website you can find out more about our association and our breed of choice; the Haflinger.

These calm, willing, and beautiful small horses excel at many and varied horse endeavours with style. Whether you are interested in pleasure driving, draft and farm work, jumping, dressage, trail riding, or simply enjoying your equine friend and partner, a Haflinger is sure to please.​
