- She came to us with the name "Nell". We think her previous owner said that she had a different name they couldn't pronounce but sounded like Nell.
- She is an older mare. Not sure of exact year but sold to us as 16 making her a 1992 horse. She may be older or younger but has suffered malnutrition which has affected her teeth.
- She has a Westfalen haflinger brand with 99. beneath it. This may be the year she was foaled or the year she was branded.
- She was bought from a Dealer in early 2007 and has lived in Cornwall ever since. She may have been hanging around Britain for a while or she was imported by the dealer.
- She has had foals. From the shape of her ribs and udders she is suspected to have been a broodmare at some point in her life.
- She is well broken in English riding style. She is a bombproof ride which suggests she has been broken for a while now.

What we know already
Ok, so everyone pretty much knows of our quest to find my Haffie Nell's past but here's a small list of what we already know about her.

Where is Cornwall?
Have you checked to see if she is microchipped? She very well could be.

Cornwall is at the very bottom of Great Britain. Its absolutely beautiful down here, surrounded by coastline and countryside. I live in a fairly rural part of Cornwall and its spectacular scenery cannot be compared. I couldn't imagine living anywhere else.

We havn't, but her passport says she doesn't have a chip no. We will ask the vet though to check just in case. Thanks for the idea.
I was thinking you were in the USA or canada when I was checking the American Haflinger Registry. Sorry. Maybe contact www.haflingersgb.com
The Haflinger Society of Great Britian or some of the big name haflinger breeders there. I know here in the US it is a very tight-knit group of haflinger owners and it seems everyone knows everyone and knows of their horses and someone somewhere could most likely recognize the horse or remember who imported her. Hopefully it will be similar where you live? Maybe contact some of the websites listed here www.haflingerhorses.com/links
good luck
