Charlie Roche - 2012-02-06 I really am sorry you were thrown. Not fun, been there down that a whole bunch of times. You would have thought I would have learned. You can't get mad at a bicycle cuz it ran into the curb. You can't get mad at the curb for being there. You can't get mad at the stair cuz you tripped. You don't get mad at the horse cuz you got tossed. You get right back on and take it slow and easy - maybe just walk in the coral area for a few days. Wait until you are relaxed and comfortable. Walk - and walk until you and the horse are comfortable. Have someone with you. Now, if you believe the horse is ill, ill tempered, out of control - have a vet come out and check the horse.
Kaitlyn J - 2012-02-09 Well clearly you are a novice rider! And No they are not! All horses bucked someone off. If you were riding a BROKE horse and riding PROPERLY that probably would not have happened.
eva - 2012-02-26 You are a beginner no horse is bad. Bad ones are all only either untrained or mistreated.
May - 2009-05-20 The Haflinger also has a rhythmic gait that covers a large amount of ground. There gaits are energetic but the walk is also relaxed, as well as energetic. The trot and canter are elastic, energetic, and athletic which are balenced and even. The canter has a very distinct forwards and upwards motion.
With a heritage traced to the Alpine mountain ponies, the Haflinger is very hardy and strong, but also sweet tempered!
I own a 11 month old Haflinger and I love her...
They are beautfiul - how do you like the temperment?
