From October to May there are approx. 100 Haflinger horses in the Fohlenhof stables and in the summer months when the young horses are on the alpine meadow one can see the mare herds with their foals and the stud stallions.
At this time there are still about 100 horses, amongst them the most famous Haflingers in the world, with reigning World and European champions of the last 10 years. Until now, the Haflinger breed association sold horses in more than 60 states.
Apart from Mondays the purebred mares and stallions can be seen daily at work and in training.
Naturally you can also use the horse yourself the whole day for riding and driving in the halls and outside. Even during bad weather the Fohlenhof is worth a trip as most of the attractions are roofed over.
A Highlight of every holiday in Ebbs is the Friday night show at the Fohlenhof. In 60 minutes the employees of the stud show the Haflinger horse in various categories in 15 program items, like dressage riding, jumping, horse football, working on long reins, vaulting, arriage riding and many more.
