The modern Haflinger is now found all over the world, active in such varied uses as draft work, packing, light harness and combined driving, western and trail riding, endurance riding, dressage and jumping, vaulting and therapeutic riding programs. Haflingers hold their own in competition with other breeds, often showing surprising athleticism and strength for their size. Haflingers are chestnut in color from a rich golden chestnut to a chocolate with a light colored mane and tail which range from white to flaxen in color. They stand between 13.2 (138 cm) and 14.3 hands (150 cm).
