Meet Bob! Bob is a 13.1 hh grade Haflinger gelding in his late teens. Bob came to Haflinger Haven in March of 2025 from Kentucky, and may have been a cart horse in a previous life.
Bob is very sweet and near-bombproof. (He will happily walk past people climbing on the tractor to fix the barn door in the dark!) He ties and stands to be groomed, picks up all four feet, leads and lunges well, and stands for mounting. He rides around on a loose rein but needs some refining, and will canter, but needs more muscle to be good at it. He does not buck, rear, or bolt.
Bob's only flaw is that he likes to talk when he's not with other horses (especially his husband, Nathan), but he works through it and it doesn't affect his ability to do his job at all! Bob would do best with an advanced beginner/intermediate rider.
Bob is sound for light riding due to his age. He is available for an on-site lease at Haflinger Haven.

Meet Major! He is a 14.3 hh mid/late teens grade gelding. He came to Haflinger Haven in July of 2022 for some rest and rehabilitation.
Major has been very well educated in his life but could use a refresher from an intermediate to advanced rider/handler. He can be pushy and grumpy on the ground, but will walk/trot/canter on the lunge and walk/trot under saddle. He's a bit of a forward ride, but would likely settle with more muscle and consistency. Major has no buck, rear, or bolt.
Major had his right eye removed in early 2023, but was blind in that eye beforehand, so he is completely adjusted. He requires no maintenance and has no soundness issues, and does well either shod or barefoot.
Major could be a very fun ride for someone who wants to put in a little work. He is available for an on-site lease at Haflinger Haven, an off-site lease, for fostering, or adoption.
