Haflinger Haven Haflinger Haven is a private rehabilitation and retirement farm for Haflingers in Central Illinois. I have always had horses. I love them all dearly.

I take in owner surrenders, auction intercepts and purchase some direct from auction. From show jumping to a trail guide to now…I fell in love with Haflingers and then rehabilitating needy horses. So now I have a Retirement and Rehabilitation farm for Haflingers. I take in owner surrenders, some that came with their sibling or parent or friend to stay together forever. Some people want their horse

s rehabilitated and to become a child’s horse or some other partnership. Since I’m not in it for sales and therefore not on a timeline I can take all the time in the world to find perfect homes. I buy some that I see at auctions or at risk, or from bad situations. Some of these can be rehabilitated and I will sometimes find homes for them..some stay. I prefer to take horses that are at least 20 but if there are circumstances or issues that dictate they are ready to retire younger is fine too. I have excellent vet and farrier care and references and my farm is about 15-20 mins from the U of I teaching and large animal hospital. I have a dry lots, a barn, shelters, a wooded trail paddock and pastures. I like to rotate the horses around for enrichment. I feed Purina feeds, targeted supplements, alfalfa pellets, beet pulp. Grass and/or mix hay in excellent quality small bales and slow feed nets available 24/7. Once upon a time I was a veterinary technician so I can attend to illness and injury with guidance from my vet. I have experience with Laminitis, cushings, colic, equine asthma, wound care etc. I also have a wonderful trainer who helps me if any behavioral issues become serious. It is my goal to support my horses health both physically and emotionally. They are all individuals and I care for them that way. Feel free to message me with any questions if I can help you. �

In my area the corn is up. It’s a very dangerous time for young drivers traditionally.
However, more and more often people trying to beat the trains is taking many more lives.
Be careful out there. It’s okay to be late…

Does anyone have recommendations for summer gloves. My hands are hurting and my favorite gloves just don’t work for me when it’s a hundred degrees!

Euthanasia.
It’s not easy to make these decisions. They are left to me though. No one is here to make these decisions but me.
Rest assured. I never decide without vet and farrier consultation.
It’s still just me when it comes down to making the appointment and following through.

Many thanks to Grant!!! One of my fence guys. For coming out to fix some really dangerous bits here and there. And special thanks to him for rubbing a super screwed up place on my neck that was debilitating. Ugh.
I feel at least 50% better. I went on to clean 15 stalls!
