25 – 29.5.05  HAFLINGER WORLD SHOW Fohlenhof Ebbs TYrol

The golden horse with the golden heart

Ebbs in the Tyrol and the " World Haflinger Breed" – an inseparable team.

 Every 5 years the World Haflinger Federation stages a Haflinger World Show. On the basis of the outstanding events in the past, the Tyrolean Haflinger Breeding Association again applied to hold this greatest Haflinger event in the world and was entrusted with the organization of the Haflinger World Show 2005 by the Federation. 

From 25 to 29 May Ebbs and the Tyrolean Haflinger Breeding Association will thus be the focal point for Haflinger breeders worldwide.

From the first major breeding event in 1947 until today nothing has changed in respect of families of mares, stallion breeding collections and generation sequences.


Ebbs has again been chosen as venue by reason of the Tyrolean Haflinger Breeding Association's exemplary organization of previous international shows and all 3 World Shows hitherto with superb background programme and outstanding presentation.

It has again been agreed not to admit individual horses, but only purebred Haflingers as part of a collection. 
There is an innovation in that small Haflinger breeding nations each having less than 500 horses are now allowed to nominate individual horses for the World Show.

The Haflinger World Show well deserves its name. Some 750 Haflingers from over 15 - not only European - nations are expected plus approx. 
350 foals and show programme horses. This means that well over 1,000 Haflingers will assemble at Ebbs.


All exhibiting countries will again have the possibility of participating in this show with their own progeny (see rules of entry).

Only purebred Haflingers will be admitted in accordance with the regulations of the World Haflinger Federation.

At the international breeding show in Ebbs in 1985 a total of 291 horses were exhibited, these including 120 mares with foals. 
By 1990 the figure had risen to 440 horses and 160 foals and in 1995 there were 470 Haflingers including 206 mares with foals. At the last World Show in 2000 there were 668 horses with 282 foals.

There will again be a special tent city for the countless Haflingers and exhibitors. 
The Fohlenhof Arena is available for spectators with a stand for 4,000 people and a 1,500 sq. m. presentation area. Car parks for 1,000 cars will be laid out nearby so that the Fohlenhof is easily accessible. Since the spectator areas are roofed in, the show can be viewed with ease whatever the weather.

 


Breeding work will again be demonstrated impressively at the 2005 Haflinger World Show. Breeding evaluation will, as always, be carried out according to the rules of the World Haflinger Federation by internationally recognized personalities from the world of equine science and by international adjudicators and selectors. Objective assessment and placing will be undertaken by all adjudicators in the interests of the further development of the world Haflinger breed. 

The documentation of the state and development of breeding constitutes the focal point of the Haflinger World Show, together with a survey of the magnificent successes hitherto.

At the international show programmes on several days the Haflinger and its uses will be shown to a wide public. Various nations will give their own typical demonstrations. Riding performances will include high level dressage, dressage quadrilles, riding side-saddle, Spanish dressage and Western riding. The programme will, of course, also include vaulting, the "Hungarian Post", driving from the saddle and dressage on the long reins. Driving will be demonstrated in various shows, ranging from one to six-in-hand and from obstacle driving to fast marathon quadrilles. Traditional teams will provide a historical reference to the origins of the Haflinger breed in the 19th century.
