This message is from: Linda Lehnert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The information on the Haflingers, both what Eike said and the person from the Swiss Pony Association, was interesting. Before I decided I liked Fjords better, I was on the Haflinger Friends List and there was some discussion on breeding in Arab. A Swedish breeder said she would never buy a Haflnger from Germany because some of them have so much Arab blood bred in. When you breed in the Arab, you get the refinement and floaty gaits, but, unfortunately, also the temperament. Those of you with Morgans know that many Morgans with a high percentage of bloodlines registered under Rule 2, which allowed breeding in Saddlebreds that were high percentage Morgan, i.e. Upwey Ben Don whose grandsire, Upwey King Peavine, was double-registered Morgan and Saddlebred, are much hotter than those that do not have those bloodlines. A Ben Don-Nocturne cross is about as hot as you can get in a horse.
Lisa, when I see those CA fires on CNNI, I always think of Jeff and hope he is OK. Like Milli Ann, I feel sorry for those poor people who lost their homes. Those with only a few minutes to evacuate were fortunate to have escaped. I hope these fires are put out soon. The devastation is tremendous.
