A Letter to our membership
Good Day, In these coldest days of the year, we are remembering past escapades with our Haflinger horses and dreaming of the spring, summer and fall when we are able to ride, drive and enjoy our Haflingers without frostbitten fingers.
My name is Gillian Allan and I am writing to you in my role as President of the Nova Scotia Haflinger Club. At our last meeting I volunteered to write to the membership and ask them what we, the board, can do better to engage you and your Haflinger horse(s) in our vibrant club that includes members in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.
As I look back over that past year, I am amazed by the number of activities that our members have participated in. Some of these events are sponsored by the club and others are equine events that we have taken our Haflingers to on our own. I am sure I have not included all the different events because I have not talked to everyone to see what they are doing with their horses. It would be an eye opener to learn what everyone is doing with their horses over the year.
Highlights from the past year that I am aware of include:
● Hosting the CHA Annual General Meeting with an afternoon clinic by Janice Bennett.
● Members participated in Haflinger classes at the Spring Draft Show, the Annapolis Valley Ex and the Queen’s County Ex.
● Some members showcased their Haflingers in driving classes in the NS Driving Society show, the NS Provincial Ex and the Sherbrooke Village Traditional Day of Driving.
● A large day of driving with the Lewis family clan brought members from across NS to Bass River for a Trail Drive and lunch.
● We met for four meetings in January, April, June and November; although our September meeting was cancelled. Our November meeting was combined with a Christmas Party with great laughter, gift exchange and good fun.
● We have an active FaceBook page and website with many people from around the world viewing our content. I am interested in knowing what you are doing with your Haflinger and whether you are interested in joining together with other haflinger owners for clinics, trail rides and drives, shows or social functions that may not include the horses.

Some suggested clinics that may interest you are:
● Developing your horse with ground driving ● Working with your horse hauling logs
● Carriage driving ● Driving draft harness hitches; single, team, 4 and 6
● Western pleasure ● English pleasure
● Ultimate trail obstacles ● Judging Haflingers
Some suggested activities that may interest you are:
● Trail rides and or trail drives ● Overnight camping with your Haflinger ● Maritime Haflinger Show
The NSHC AGM will be held on January 21 at the SuperStore Community Room in Elmsdale NS at 1pm. We have chosen this location to be central to as many members as possible. We will be renewing memberships at this time - $15 for individual and $25 for a family. We hope to have a discussion on events that we can arrange to engage Haflinger owners with their horses. Join us and bring your ideas to the table.
Sincerely, Gillian Allan

On Sun., Nov. 26th the Nova Scotia Haflinger Club had our general meeting and Christmas Social at the Windsor Crossroads restaurant at 1 pm. We had a late lunch after our meeting , picked up our 2018 calendars and had a Yankee Swap. It was a good time and a chance for some our new members to meet the group which is continuing to grow with an ever more diverse ownership.
Please check out our 'Facebook' page for pictures from the swap ( link top left under the banner).
Congraduations to Gordon Lewis and this team Woody and Max as seen on CTV's Cindy Day's snapshot of the Day!
