Purebred Haflinger 13hh, Exceptional temperament.

Nike – descended from the original stallion, Narrigal, brought to Australia in 1975.

He is the traditional type, smaller and heavier boned, deep chestnut with white mane and tail and with a wonderful temperament. I broke him in at 2 yrs. I never thought I would ever be able to own a stallion let alone break one in! He is not only pretty on the outside but as I say, “pretty in the heart”

"He is such a strong pony. I took him out this morning only for about 8 kms round trip. It had rained all day yesterday and was still a bit drizzly, and this was at 5am so it was muddy a lot of the way. Soft going on the road, but heavy in some places alongside and through the bush. On the last leg, going up a hill, I was trying to be kind and half lifted my weight off his back. About a minute later, he took it upon himself to finish the hill in a trot and just powered up without even feeling it. I love his little legs and round feet and the square way he stands. He always dozes off when I am saddling him now. But if you go to do anything, he has this sort of curious nature and willing desire to be involved. He is really keen and out there to ride, and getting better every day, but he is so quick on his feet. But he rarely gets a fright."

"I walked around and tidied up a few things and came back and he was still just waiting there asleep in a 100 acre paddock. He is ULTRA patient. He will stand there all day both on a ride or when being saddled."

He is patient and will wait there asleep all day.

Well, we haven't had a single episode of any kind in our rides lately. He is learning to come off the leg very well although he did argue with me yesterday whether to go left or right which resulted in his head butting a small gum tree. "

"One thing I will say, ours have the temperament. You simply could not get a better nature (once you iron out the wrinkles). I have been out riding until dark the past few nights. He has been exceptionally well behaved. He is extremely patient and tolerant "
