First there was fighting – these stallions are now going on a wellness holiday

Date:

Who will be the leading stallion on the Alm in the summer was determined when the Noriker stallions of the Salzburg Breeding Association were bred. There were 3500 fascinated visitors.

They gallop, they fight and the spectators are very close. At the 30th animal ride of the Noriker stallions in Rauris on Saturday, 21 breeding stallions decided among themselves who would lead the two herds on the Grieswiesalm in the summer.

“Horses were in better condition”
This year, some horses gave their all: “Because it was so cold, the stallions were in better condition and were even more willing to fight than usual,” said Johann Wieser, director of the Salzburger Staatsfokerij.

They spent their childhood together
In the Stoissen breeding association, the stallions learn the hierarchy when they are young, Wieser explains. After everyone has occupied 24 mares, the stallions can now go on a “wellness holiday” on the alpine pasture.
