We never owned the mare, Cynthia NTF, but she is the foundation for much of our breeding program. We've found that her descendents have tremendously sweet personalities paired with excellent athleticism. We've owned many Haflingers, but we've never come across another family of Haflingers that is so consistantly sweet tempered. Cynthia descendents are a joy to work with. Here is a brief history on Cynthia:

In 1988, John and Judy Miller of New Trend Farm in Ft. Johnson, New York showed Cynthia at the Fourth National Haflinger Show. Cynthia carried the day. She placed 1st in the two year old mare class, edging out Fina, the beautiful Austrian filly imported by Harold Render (there is a wonderful article on the life of Fina in the Dec. 04/Jan. 05 issue of AHR's "Haflinger Horse" Magazine). She then won Junior Champion mare, beating Reserve Junior Champion, Garbo NTF, shown by Todd Chalmers. Next, Cynthia won Grand Champion Mare defeating the Senior Champion, Caboose, exhibited by Haflinger Fohlen Bauer. In addition to all of her show winnings,Cynthia was also presented a special Breeders Award, bestowed by the World Haflinger Federation.
