The story behind the image

In October 2025 we did a side trip to the village of Ebbs in Austria to see the young Haflinger stallions being escorted from their summer paddock up in the Alps back into the valley. This is being organized by the Haflinger Pferdezuchtverband Tirol and ends with a big parade through the village into the Fohlenhof Ebbs.

Now, at first this seemed to be not as spectacular for the visitors as similar cattle drives in the area because the horses are faster and not decorated as heavily. However, I was wrong.

My image shows the impressive moment when the large herd of young stallions was escorted into the arena of the farm. After the presentation the herd was released and the horses could run freely around the large arena. What! An! Incredble! Experience!

So, if you are in the area, please consider visiting the Fohlenhof Ebbs as they regulary run specatcular shows and organize events promoting Haflinger horses.
