Our horses

Jessy

Mare
Born on: 21 May 2000
Breed: Haflinger

I am Jessy, the daughter of July. I am a good beginner’s horse for both children and adults. I love lunges, jumping around, and am always very well-behaved during riding lessons. But what I love the most is going for a proper ride when I can let off some steam.

I’m a little bit afraid of tractors and trucks. Those giant things just look so fearsome *brrrrr*. In the summer I always get eczema that itches terribly and you have to rub me daily with ointment.

I am a modern bred Haflinger. This means: I am sportier than earlier Haflingers since we were mostly used for heavy work and not much for riding, unlike me. On the meadow, I am the leader of the mares. And July, my mother, means everything to me. Maybe we will see each other during a riding lesson, or just come to visit me if you like. Have fun!

Lara

Mare
Born on: 34.04.1996
Breed: Haflinger

Neigh! I am Lara and first came to Millinghof in April 2014. After many years, my owner sold me to the Dürlinger family.
I made many friends here on the farm - at the beginning we got into a couple of scuffles, but now we get on famously.
To start with I was a little unsure about riding, but I really enjoyed learning all the new things.
I am really looking forward to you visiting me since I love being petted and given things to nibble on :-)

Shakira

Mare
Born on: 28. May 2002
Breed: Irish Tinker

Hello, my name is Schakira. I moved into Millinghof on 24 September 2005. Back then I was young and had lots to learn.
First of all we did lunges but this soon became really boring. You just go round in circles after all. Then I learnt how to run in the paddock, although it is not as though I was not able to do anything - previously I had been out in the open and being ridden in a paddock is much harder.

The corners especially. Then they said that I would be a good broodmare. After all I am beautiful and am especially proud of my mane, what do you think of it? See you when you go riding - have a nice day.

Lena

Mare
Born on: 23.03.2023
Breed: Noriker

Hello horse friends!

My name is Lena, and I was born in the beautiful Oberpinzgau region. I spent the first part of my life on the alpine pasture, where I learned how to graze and climb around in the mountains. Now I am really enjoying the fact that I have found a new herd. Especially dear Lara has become my best friend.

Because I am still very young, right in the middle of puberty, I am not allowed to be ridden yet. Only when I am grown up and strong enough. I am already looking forward to my first training sessions.

Being scratched and groomed is my favorite thing, besides snacking. I am still a little inexperienced with lots of people and children, so I ask for your understanding and for a little space. Even so, I am happy to have visitors, so that I can learn many new things and already practice for riding lessons later on.

Ich kann dir den Text auch noch in natürlicherem, werbetafel-tauglichem Englisch formulieren.

Laky

Gelding
Born on: 15. Juny 2008
Breed: Icelandic

Hi riding friends!
Originally I come from Iceland, there I got the name "Snaefaxi fra Arnporsholti". Unfortunately nobody here can pronounce it, so my name changed to LAKY.

When I was 5 years old, I was sent to Austria. I changed owners three times whilst here, until I finally landed at Millinghof in 2020. My special coat markings and good-natured character immediately convinced the riding instructors. I take pleasure in the pony walks and lunges, where children are taught how to ride. Sometimes I get my legs muddled up, which is why cantering in the arena as well as going for a ride in the surrounding area, is still a bit difficult for me. I am really happy when someone grooms me or gives me some treats.
