When breeding sport horse Draft X's we prefer the sire to be the draft and the dam to be the lighthorse/hotblood.  This gives the movement, size, temprement, and willingness needed to create a lovely prospect.  We have found that breeding the heavier Draft mare will give you a much heavier type of horse.  We feel that the mare dictates much more onto the foal than the stallion usually will.

Over the years we have found that our 1/2 Draft and 1/2 Thoroughbred or lightmares have been wonderfully versatile and gifted at almost all disciplines, including  driving, jumping, dressage, cross country, and fox hunting.  All of this while still possessing a lovely temperament, good bone, fluid movement, and soundness.  They are affectionate and generous, yet still carry enough performance value to satisfy most riders.

For the bolder, more competitive upper-level horses we prefer to use 1/4 Draft and 3/4 Thoroughbred or Appendix.  This will give you a bit more refinement, endurance, and the hotness required to perform at that level.

Harmony Acres is now offering Haflinger and Haflinger X's for sale.  We first fell in love with the Haflinger 5 years ago when our son Luke was 3 years old.  We needed a small Shire X for him because we believe in starting children on ponies since there is less of a distance to fall.  Good ponies are hard to find, and Haflingers are all we breed for, but in a smaller package.  Luke's pony "Scout" excels in all events, including barrel racing, pole bending, show jumping, pony hunters, and driving.  Scout recently starting roping and, as usual, has picked it up effortlessly.
