Clydesdales are among the biggest horses in the world. When they are fully grown, their height is 160–180 cm. The only horses that are bigger are Shire Horses and Brabanters.
By the age of three, Haflinger foals are already almost fully grown. However, they may still grow by another three to six centimetres before their fifth birthday.
At birth, Haflinger foals are given a name beginning with the same letter as their mother’s or father’s name. Their coats are always sorrel-coloured, while their manes and tails are blonde. Sometimes, they have marks or blazes on their heads; otherwise, they are generally single-coloured. When they are fully grown, they are 138 to 155 cm tall. Although the minimum height for a horse is 148 cm, meaning Haflingers are usually categorised as ponies, they are actually a breed of horses.
Fun fact: Haflingers often have a distinctive, light-coloured muzzle.
Schleich products are made of various plastics and dyes, which are carefully selected to meet the respective requirements. Most typically plastics used are polyvinyl chloride (PVC), thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), in addition to other plastics typical for toys. Even the material suppliers are subject to strict controls by our quality officers. The dyes used are optimally adapted to the different types of plastic and demonstrate top-rate mechanical and chemical resistance. They ensure the high durability of Schleich products and make all Schleich pieces saliva and sweat proof as well as abrasion-resistant, and thus ensure that they are completely safe for playing with. Only once a product meets fully all international laws, standards and guidelines for toys is it released for production. All Schleich articles and materials comply with the national and international toy requirements applicable worldwide, as well as the new European Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC and DIN EN 71.

We love Schleich's realistic animal figures, a quality toy that stimulates the child's imagination as well as teaching them about animals and wildlife.
