Other Haflinger stallions from around the world and some from history: REFERENCE STALLIONS Sires Lines - Haflingers According to stud book studies in 1988, of the 1,300 Haflinger stallions
worldwide the percentages of each line are as follows:
The A-Line Anselmo himself was considered somewhat coarse, with long ears (a serious fault to Austrian breeders). Nonetheless, four of his sons proved to be successful sires: Atlas, Alex, Attila and Adler. Of these, the line is continued through Artist, a grandson of Adler. Artist, when bred to the mare Jeruse (also by Adler) produced Afghan (1969) - the greatest of modern Haflinger sires. Sadly, Afghan died at the young age of ten of a broken leg. The B-Line The M-Line Some have stated that the M-line was in danger of stagnating. The largest number of M-line horses (most descending through Sturmer) reside in the United States, which does not practice the strict selection process common in Germany and other European countries. Dire predictions have been made concerning the future of this branch if proper selection is not practiced. Of the remaining two branches, that of Meteor is mostly continued in Italy, and is considered to be of slightly higher quality. But it is the Mordeskeri line that show the most promise through his great-great grandson Midas (1977). Midas caused quite a sensation at the Second International Haflinger Breeders' Show in 1985, where 20 of his daughters and 12 of his sons were displayed. [Note: Because many M-line stallions were bred in Italy, where stallion of a given year are all named by the same letter, not all have names that begin with M.] The N-Line The N-line is one of the most prolific of all the Haflinger lines, represented by over 300 stallions worldwide. Of those stallions, 250 are found in either Germany or Italy. The S-Line The St-Line Most of the St-line stallions descend through the Student son Stromer. Stromer was Austrian-born, but was eventually sold to Italy and there his line was allowed to die out. Stromer's grandsons Starost and Sturm have continued the line in Switzerland, while Star is responsible for most of the St-line stallions in the United States. In fact, the United States currently has the most St-line stallions of any country, with one of the large American farms (Temple Farms - no dispersed) specializing in this line. Sons of Star that influenced American breeding programs include Easter Sunday and his sons Stardraft (1975) and Strahan (1974), Starwonder and his sons Stogey (1973) and State (1975) and also his grandson Stanley (by Spirit of 76). In Austria, the line continued through Stromer grandson Sturmer. Although Sturmer died relatively young at eight years of age, three of his sons were kept as breeding stallions. Another line descends from Strom (1949 - a son of Stromer). The United States has some excellent ST stallions. Stars N Stripes TOF (stands at Tudor Oaks Farm) Standard of Excellence and his son Stelaka PHHF, and Stellar TVR son of Straden. Stately LF son of Stubben NTF The W-Line Willi's fourth son was Wardein, and he had the exception maternal pedigree that Wieland lacked. Although his breeding career got off to a late start (in 1958, when he was already 20 years old!), he become known for producing energetic animals with extremely correct movement. Wardein's sons and grandsons would spread the line to other countries. His son Winchester (1957) went to Germany, where he produced several promising sons. Austria kept sons Wilton and Wirbel. Wilton would bring the line to Italy through his grandson Sigrid did Faltering, as well as having a great deal of positive influence on the line in Austria. His descendent Wagering (1980) is considered an excellent example of this sire line. Another strain tracing back to Willi is that of his grandson Welcome. Welcome is a popular breeding stallion in the Netherlands, although he is considered too coarse by many Austrian breeders. Many of the W-line stallions in the United States and Canada trace to Welkom through his son Wandor (1973). More recently, an American breeder imported a son of Winterstein, (Walzertakt) a popular Austrian stallion that traces back to Willi through the Wardein branch. The influence of Walzertakt in the US lead to 3 recognized classified sons who help make the W line strong. One of these stallions is World Class who stands here at Top of the Line Farms.
