Subject: [haflingerfriends] Re: Cart Question....
I have found the charts that Kathy quoted to be a guideline at best. I have
noticed it to be on the stingy side when it comes to measurements. For
example, the 30 inch singletree would be leaving trace rubs on those chunky
haflinger sides. Your horse would not be a happy camper. I also would like
to note that the shafts for my 10 hand pony are 67 inches long. Surely he
his shorter than 3 inches less than your 14 hand horse. I use 70 inch shafts
for my 12 H pony and 80 in shafts for my full size horses, including my 13.3
H haflinger. I do like to give them a little room to trot out and if the
horse might be prone to kicking, I like to make sure that he can not reach
the cart with those hooves. As for shaft width, I have had to widen some of
mine to accommodate a haflinger belly. The point being, use these charts
only as guidelines and take actual measurements from your horse.
