Our Story

The Haflinger and Hitch Pony Championship Series was created in 2013 to help promote hitch Haflingers and draft ponies across North America. Each year six horse hitches and ladies cart drivers compete for points throughout the season for a chance to compete at the world finals. The top six hitches and ladies cart drivers then compete for the overall champion.
