Welcome Mia, Summer and Molly

A huge herd welcome to our newest members who arrived in early July:  Mia an 11-year-old mare;  her filly, Summer, born on May 14, 2023; and Molly, a 17 year-old mare. All three are Haflinger horses.

Some refer to Haflingers as ‘the golden horse with the golden heart’ and our new herd members are living up to that reputation. Haflingers are a solidly built horse known to be friendly towards people with a gentle temperament.

Molly was adopted early into the herd and has already demonstrated her interest in supporting clients. To ensure their smooth transition into the herd, Mia and Summer were kept separate for a few weeks from the other horses while they settled in. All three are now part of the larger herd. Mia is a doting mom and doesn’t let Summer stray too far away. Both are friendly and appreciate a good scratch and encouraging words.

Book your session today and come out to meet our new team members!
