The Tyrolean Noriker is enjoying increasing popularity from year to year! So it is not surprising that today, in a never-ending caravan, masses of visitors flock to the Stallbachkaralm to watch the stallions fight for supremacy as the lead stallion! Before the stallions of the Tyrolean Noriker Horse Breeders' Association are rounded up to the Stallbachkaralm for their summer holiday, they have to fight out the hierarchy! The stallions are weighed and then presented by the STATE CHAIRMAN Christian Wild. If you watch closely, you can see that the opponents do not really want to hurt each other. They gallop towards each other with a roar, neigh as much as they can, get up high, kick out in front and behind, but for the most part they only engage in mock fights, feint, feint or try to bite their opponent. They have to be able to smell and taste each other in order to be able to spend the next few months having a carefree summer on the mountain. It is always fascinating and impressive to watch this battle and to observe these wonderful horses! The opponents: Preber Elmar (tiger) - 716 kg Floristan Elmar (mohrenkopf) - 769 kg Hubertus Vulkan (brown) - 792 kg Gary Diamant (chestnut) - 748 kg Gruber Diamant (black) - 730 kg Eis Nero (brown) - 854 kg Wild Vulkan (black) - 788 kg Vasco Vulkan (black) - 719 kg Tyrolean Noriker lead stallion at the Stallbachkaralm 2024: Preber Elmar, 716 kg (tiger) Before the stallions can spend a carefree alpine summer, they must prove themselves in the ring and fight for supremacy as a lead stallion. That sounds more martial than it really is. - The horseshoes have been removed to minimize the risk of injury. If you look closely, you can see that the opponents do not really want to hurt themselves. Although they gallop with dumplings to each other, neighing what they can, climb up, wed out in front and behind, but for the most part they only fake fights, fooling, feinting or trying to bite the opponent.
