. At birth, Haflinger foals are given a name that begins with the first letter of the sire's or dam's name. Their coat is always chestnut, and their mane and tail are lighter in color. Sometimes they have clouds or blazes as markings on their head, but otherwise, they are always a single color. When fully grown, they have a wither height of 138 to 155 centimeters. Although the desired wither height for a horse must be at least 148 centimeters, meaning Haflingers tend to fall into the pony category, they are still considered a horse breed.
