 The regional breeders' federation is the same as that for the Haflinger, the Provincial Federation of South Tyrol Haflinger Horse Breeders.A smaller sub-type of the Noriker, standing about , was reared in the area of Abtenau, in the Lammertal to the south of Salzburg.Unlike the main population, this Abtenauer strain did not carry the leopard-spotting gene; the most usual colours were chestnut, black and blue roan.
