I just love how we literally can have a sentence which says "all Haflingers are sweat foxes" xD

Talking about Haflingers... We call "pangare/mealy" "meelsnuit", which literally means "flour muzzle".

If you're using google translate, I'd just like to say it isn't always correct. But that is pretty cool! I'm learning german in school currently. I will be taking my 3rd year of german this school year (which starts tomorrow) xD

Google translate and Dutch don't match, rofl.
The translations are hilarious.
I'm Flemish & speak Flemish / Dutch

Google Translate is weird, indeed... Especially when it comes to horse terms.
My native language is Dutch/Flemish as well c:

Yeah, we're no longer allowed to use google translate in class because someone thought "Deutsch" was spelled as "Dutch" and they used it on their work.
