    The pedigree information of 3613 animals registered in the Slovenian Haflinger stud book from birth year 1905 to 2008 were analysed using PROC INBREED in SAS/ STAT with the purpose of analysis of inbreeding level in Slovenian Haflinger population. Relationship (R) analysis was restricted to possible mating partners that had offspring born between 2004 and 2008 (i.e., 323 mares and 58 stallions). An increasing trend of inbreeding coefficients (F) was observed in recent years, although a generally low F was detected. Mean values of R between possible mating partners were mostly around zero, while maximum values ranged up to 0.63. The development of application that would ease the calculations of F and R could help breeders to prevent related mating in the future.
