Abbe

Abbe is son of the famous Haflinger Aristocrat. He is now working on ridden dressage. At six months old Abbe began his Clicker Training. He is prompted to do good things through operant conditioning. His disposition and good behavior are always rewarded by positive communication. Targeting, backing, and head lowering form the foundation exercises every Clicker Trained horse should know. Targeting teaches the horse what the Clicker means. Backing creates respect of space, and head lowering contributes to a calm attitude.

No-Moe

No-Moe passed away in May of 2018 and will always be remembered and loved by the carriage barn community. No-Moe WLT (N Line out of No Nonsense NTF) was probably our most photographed Haflinger. No-Moe was Misty’s counterpart in the Therapy Program. Our Occupational Therapist used him with the littlest babies, 1 to 2 year olds. The constraints on such a great 1,100 pound 13-1 horse are tremendous. He had to be perfect all the time. Balls bounce, children scream from fear, volunteers learned how to lead off his nose, but this great horse was always on his best behavior. When he won “Horse of the Year” at the Kids Horse Show, the parents’ eyes welled up with tears. They entrusted their most precious possession to No-Moe. His most endearing mannerism was his soft rumbled whiney when each child would pat him at the end of a lesson.
