INFO ON THE HAFLINGER (curtesy of Wikipedia)
The Haflinger, also known as the Avelignese, is a breed of horse developed in Austria and northern Italy (namely Hafling in South Tyrol region) during the late 19th century. Haflinger horses are relatively small, are always chestnut with flaxen mane and tail, have distinctive gaits described as energetic but smooth, and are well-muscled yet elegant. The breed traces its ancestry to the Middle Ages; several theories for its origin exist. Haflingers, developed for use in mountainous terrain, are known for their hardiness. Their current conformation and appearance are the result of infusions of bloodlines from Arabian and various European breeds into the original native Tyrolean ponies. The foundation sire, 249 Folie, was born in 1874; by 1904, the first breeders' cooperative was formed. All Haflingers can trace their lineage back to Folie through one of seven bloodlines. World Wars I and II, as well as the Great Depression, had a detrimental effect on the breed, and lower-quality animals were used at times to save the breed from extinction. During World War II, breeders focused on horses that were shorter and more draft-like, favored by the military for use as packhorses. The emphasis after the war shifted toward animals of increased refinement and height.
Population numbers continued to increase steadily, and as of 2005, almost 250,000 Haflingers existed worldwide. Breeding farms are in several countries, although most of the breeding stock still comes from Austria. In 2003, a Haflinger became the first horse to be cloned, resulting in a filly named Prometea.
Haflingers have many uses, including light draft, harness work, and various under-saddle disciplines such as endurance riding, dressage, equestrian vaulting, and therapeutic riding. They are also still used by the Austrian and German armies for work in rough terrain. The World Haflinger Federation, the international governing body that controls breed standards for the Haflinger, is made up of a confederation of 22 national registries, and helps set breeding objectives, guidelines, and rules for its member organizations.
Gentle Giants Draft Horse Rescue was formed to facilitate the rescue of Draft and Draft Cross horses from slaughter, abuse, and neglect.
The Primary Function of the Rescue
GGDHR promotes the benefits and uses of Draft horses of all breeds as trail mounts, schooling mounts, and competition mounts. We educate the public through the use of brochures, pamphlets, and public presentations on the topics of: horse slaughter and cruelty, the responsibilities of horse ownership, the over-population and over-breeding of horses, and how over-breeding contributes to the horse slaughter industry. Learn more about our educational outreach here.
Slaughter is a highly profitable market and most of the public is unaware that the buyers for the slaughterhouses frequent public auctions to purchase their horses. We attend the same public auctions, choose the Draft horses we feel are the most viable candidates for rescue, and then outbid the meat buyer.
GGDHR is primarily funded by adoption fees, private donations, and sponsorships which facilitate the rescue of future draft horses from slaughter.

This was a good one Jeff doc almost got 💩on. What a great release that horse had. Hahaha. Great job Dr Doug!! We know these horses really do feel better with ever visit.
Thanks Barbara, I would gladly get pooped on, to get the horse to feel its best!
I loved the intro Barbara. I laughed out loud! 🤣
when you stood directly behind him my heart stopped
Bonnie holding back her giggle…💛. I’ve seen pediatrician chiropractors eliminate constipation in babies…they do something & the baby ‘blows out’ in their diaper. Chiropractors…y’all are magic✨
Awww thanks Mom
Always charmed and impressed by the beautiful surroundings on this rescue farm - it's just beautiful. Thank you to all the people dedicated to helping these magjestic beasties! Thank you, Doc, you're patient was twitch and restless but you preservered and helped him be more comfortable 😊
Thanks my friend, I always try my best. Glad you could be here tonight.
Doc
The horse is so patient.
I'm lucky, to get to work with such great horses.
Marley is just such a lovely horse - so glad he’s been rescued and can undergo your fantastic chiropractic support. As always, this rescue venue is a sea of calm in a pretty chaotic world. 🌊 ☕️🍁🍄
Yeah that’s true
So true, the rescue farm, truly is a sanctuary for these horses.
Marley is gorgeous but camera shy :] I can not image what this precious horse has been through but I know that he is in a much better place, and getting all the help he needs to feel better. Thank you for sharing Marley and his story with us, I may not know a lot about horses but doesn't mean I don't appreciate or love them. I wish Marley all the best and hope his hooves will improve with time.
Thank you again !
Thanks Gail, I think his hooves have come a long way. He gets the best care possible at Gentle Giants.
I just started watching videos! I admire the affection you have towards these animals, and how strong of a bond you build with them in so short of a time! Animals are kindred souls and we need more kind people in the world to take care of them like you do. Thank you for what you do ❤
Thanks Bibbly, I am grateful that you watch these videos.
Thank you for your support.
Doc
@@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen I have also checked through the comment portions of your videos, I just want to say that I adore how you reply to a majority of comments ❤ Thanks for being a great human!
Activating the glute haha ! I love your work thanks doc! You are with your videos the sunshine in my life !
awww, thank you so much Nic! Your friendship has been a light for me, too!
Hallo Nic! Und wie geht’s deinem anderen Schatz Cassandro? 😁Liebe Grüße! Enjoy today and always!😘
@@sabinekoch3448 Hi bine ! Ich hoffe gut ! I am still in Bretagne I fly back tomorrow night! About cassandro… yesterday wrote my daughter that the stallion father of cassandro just passed away …he was an extraordinary stallion and bred lots of competition heroes. He survived the fire as well in august 2013 and stayed two hours in the flames before he could be saved…he died yesterday with 30 and that make me sad. Hope you are doing well
@@niczuleger5287 What an amazing horse- and such a sad moment for you now. 🕯 ❤️ I am sorry to hear that. I wish you a good flight back home tomorrow…
@@sabinekoch3448 thx
Whenever you ask the animals to take a breath, I breathe with you. Market you are a really nice little horse. Dr. Doug is trying to help you. Stand still!
Thanks Debbie, the breathing is a always a good moment.
@@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen Marley!! I hate spell correct.
Missing your”bale”, right about now. AC treated Harley when he was newly adopted by GG. He looks fabulous, I hope his hooves gradually improve.
Me too, what a sweet horse!
Thanks Simone!
Grateful that you could be here.
Doc
Marley is a good looking boy who has been thru a lot! Being able to relax and just be is a huge healing for him! Great ilium adjustment, even if he was not sure about the tail rocking! Superb adjustment of the front stance, he will take it in and feel better!
Thanks BC, I always love your comments and participation. Grateful to you!
Doc

You rock!

Hi 👋Dr Willen, how are you, Marley is a beautiful horse. You always try your best by helping animals, people and you’re an awesome 👏person. Have a nice 👍week doc
You are so kind, thanks Emma!
Much love to you and Mark!
Doc
Honestly, I don't know how Bonnie could control her laughter when Dr. Doug got a great result while pulling on Marley's tail! HAHAHAHA! Dr. Doug, you crack me up!
I think she was holding back a laugh.
Wow Dr. Doug. Just amazing work!
😂😂😂 i wasn’t expecting the horse to do that 😆😆😆Great video Doc 👏🏻👏🏻🤗🤗🤗🤗
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks Sarah Jane!
You are such a darling man!
awww, thanks Terry!
Wow he's gorgeous, another great job and video thanks 💖😁
Thank you! 🤗
Come on Doc, are you trying to tell us you're a 💩 starter? I would never think that of you! 🤣 And btw, I did hear that adjustment on his left front hoof before you even said anything. Marley has such a wonderful face and lots of spirit. Wish is was young and healthy enough to ride him, but he's the kind of guy you could just hang out with and be blessed! You're awesome Doc! Thanks for all the wonderful care you give🤗
Thank you so much Wanda, that means a lot.
Grateful to you.
Doc
Marley is a gorgeous!
And you did activate something
When the horse 💩💩
You go Dr. W
awww, thanks Audra!!
We activated something 😋
Hahaha, I think so!
Glad you could be here for this video.
Doc
Lovely. You say huffs, I say hoofs, let's call the whole thing off
Hahahaha, that is funny. Let's call it off! I agree.
Let's go get a drink instead!
Love, love, love your posts, Dr. Doug! Thanks for educating us, and for helping these wonderful animals!
Nice job . And some news of Keeper ?
Easier to work on this time, this fellah. Those huge draft horses from other videos are impressive! Haha glad you didn't get soiled on. Whatamess that could be
Hi Douglas, absolutely, that would have been one big poop!
Hahaha
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Lisa!
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Sheila!
I need my neck adjustment.
Hi Gloria, Thanks for being here! I wish I could help your neck.
Doc
It’s a dirty job but somebody has to do it. 😂
😂😂
How do i get an appointment with this doctor??? I'm right down the road from this place off of 97 and we've got a gelding with arthritis that was ridden heavily for years. He's somewhat lame most of the time and I've never seen anybody do what this guy does. We need somebody to look at him. Everything online says this guy is in new York but i clearly see you're in Maryland
Great job, and Ruby approves, she’s watching you! Ruby thanks you for her treatment yesterday she’s feeling and looking great, me too. Thanks so much
Awww, thanks Deb, and Ruby, and Jaxon! Love you all!
@@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen we all love you ❤️
Hi Deb and Ruby! Did you get a adjustment? If so good for you. I know you won't film but happy you are feeling good.😁
@@debs6080 thanks Debs, I think you and your family are awesome.
@@dellzywillis3001 I get one every week, I almost couldn’t walk when I first took Ruby to Dr Doug and he said I’ll adjust you while your here and he is amazing. My back is really a mess thanks to those lovey horses, I was competing from the age of 3 and at 10 years old I started show jumping, I had some spectacular falls so I’m paying the price now I’m older. Thankfully we found Dr Doug and he takes care of all of us.
I LOVE HARLEY
AC does such a good job of knowing where each “patient”needs adjustment AND how to do it.
Thanks Simone!
❤️
The intro really cracked me up! 🤣 sorry to have missed the premiere, Doc. Always love connecting with the community on the live chats. Marley is another beautiful member of the 80’s hair band clan. 💯🐶
😁😁😁
No worries! You are there so often, thank you Jeff.
Well you certainly did activate his glutes.
Hahaha, yes, what a surprise!
I hope that all the fans of this channel have managed to question the eating of animals, the exploitation of animals, and speciesism in general.
Otherwise... what hypocrisy!
I guess you have to be careful of what you activate. LOL😄
HAHAHA, yes, you never know what can come of it!
Maybe someday you can visit Horse Plus Humane Society They need help
Hey! I would really like to know the places you work at most often, do you come to Louisiana? if so what about deridder and pickering areas? I'm needing a chiro for my horse asap😊
When you gotta go, you gotta go.
hahaha
👍💕
Thanks Red!!
Good activation skills.
Excuse me while I exercise my glutes LOL 😄😄
HAHAHA!
Thanks Kay!
😁😁
Marley is very Handsome 😍,He hasn't quite figured you out LMBO xx z 💞.
Your the Bomb 💥 Doc!.
JO JO IN VT 💕😄
Thanks Jo Jo
You worked hard Dr Doug to adjust Marley as he was moving all the time but I bet he will be relieved with his hip , although you got more than you bargained for ?! Great video as always .
Yes, thanks Elaine!
I love watching your clips, keep it up doctor
Thank you, I will!
great video as always🥰
Thank you! 🤗
Only by watching your videos, I feel much more relaxed after your chiropractic therapy, thank you doc!
It seems that the narrow stance is more common in draft horses...is that related to the nature of how they're worked, or just coincidence?
Love this Halflinger!
