All you need to know about the Haflinger, aka,the Avelignese horse

Chestnut is all you get.

The original mountain ponies were chestnut and so are the modern Haflingers. The breed standard allows for any shade, from pale chestnut to dark liver chestnut (the Canadian Association refers to it as “chocolate”). Spots (black or white), white socks that go above knees or hocks, and roan coloring is considered a flaw. The mane and tail should be pale (white or flaxen), also without any color impurities or deviation. Horses that have any of these flaws should also not be used for breeding.
