Already early, there was a powerful mountain-pony in the Alps. The East-Goths left after its defeat of Byzanz of Conza, 555 n. Chr.) its horses into the Tyrolean valleys back; one assumes that these animals already were influenced easterly. A burgundischer stallion is supposed to have had big influence in the Middle ages and a Haflinger very similar has been. The modern Haflinger comes from the Etsch and Sarntal (South-Tyrol) and has its name of the place Hafling. Virtually all animals go on them Stallions El'Bedavi and its son foil 249 back. Ersterer was a semi-Arab born in Radautz, second came from the ennobled country-mare of the farmer Folie from Schlanders in the Venostatal. The race is bred in the Tuscany and in Sicily under the name Avelignese. In North-Tyrol, a modern, athletic type developed.
