Durk is an outstanding dressage gelding we imported from Europe. He is scoring WELL against warmbloods at 2nd level, and is ready for 3rd level!!!

He has a baroque build, and is a powerful collected mover with excellent suspension. We love the uphill conformation on this boy. He is willing and eager to please, safe, sane and sound. AND he has the bloodlines of a top dressage competitor.  Durk has  extensive professional training in dressage under his belt----he has been in dressage training with a classical dressage trainer for 4 yrs!

And how many friesians do you know that have shown extensively, always placing in the top three at 1st-2nd level?????  

This gorgeous boy is ready to show at 3rd level!!!

Currently Working half pass, canter pirouettes and can perform flying changes in both directions.

Lovely, Kind, Gentle, Honest Gelding!!

He has 3 wonderful gaits, and dressage riders-you will like how comfortable Durk is to sit. We like Durk's uphill conformation, his jet black shiny coat, and his WONDERFUL disposition. He has no vices whatsoever, and would be an ideal choice for a novice, timid, or inexperienced rider, or child, or amateur adult, due to his willingness to please. He will also make the competitive dressage rider happy, as he goes in a very nice frame, and really tracks up well, with space and tact, and perfect rhythm to his gaits.
And this is a very reasonably priced friesian gelding with MUCH show experience, making him an excellent first horse for some lucky home.

Rides AND Drives

Incredible Pedigree... Ster-Ster-Pref-Ster

He has had no health issues whatsoever.... never been sick a day or lame a day in his life.

  He is ready to show Third Level---come take Durk for a spin.

He has a perfect body, and looks, is nice to handle in the barn and has a refined head. He is level headed, has never bitten, kicked or bucked or rearerd...this boy is very easy, about as uncomplicated as they come.

Durk is quiet on the trail, not a spooky horse.  He is very easy going and also unusually loving---- the vet says he does not even have to put a halter on Durk, to give him a vaccination.  He is THAT quiet, and THAT much of a people horse.

Durk is an easy keeper and he gets along with other horses in the pasture.

Is Durk black??? Yes, this is a jet black Friesian, but like most of our body clipped horses, he appears "golden" when body clipped, and his coat goes right back to being jet black, as his hair grows out!

Durk is suitable for a novice rider and ready to excel up the levels with a amateur or professional.

Elektra, meaning "bright and shining",  is already showing us that she has the same athletic ability to compete in dressage, and win, as her daddy.  Everyone is looking for a reasonably priced, leggy, FULL pedigree friesian filly. Gerryt offspring are hard to find, and he produces exceptional offspring and he passes on his upright conformation and enthusiasm to show.  In a nutshell, if you are looking for a horse to score well in dressage competition, Elektra has it in her genes!

  Elektra is a very classy, well built mare, with promise of many good things to come! She comes from stam line 122, the same stam line that has produced the Approved stallions Heinse, who is no longer living!!!!!

 And her inbreeding co-efficient is VERY low, making her a good match with just about ANY stallion you should choose to breed her to. And we have taken care of registering and micro -chipping her for you, so you don't have to worry about taking her to a keuring, or dealing with the hassle of trying to get her registered on your own. 

Elektra has everything we look for in a top quality friesian mare: ideal conformation, and very fluid gaits. She is built very uphill, which will make dressage enthusiasts happy, and she is SWEET SWEET SWEET, a true delight to be around. If you are looking for a reasonably priced friesian filly, with unbroken STER predicates in her motherline and out of a TOP TOP 1st premie STER mare,  that is already fully registered, and imprinted from birth, then you need to take a look at this lovely gal.

Born 4/25/09

IMPECCABLE pedigree--great addition to any top quality breeding program.  You can't get much better than having a mommy that ranked in the tippy top 5% of all friesian mares for conformation and movement.

And daddy Gerryt  has numerous accolades himself....

Elektra's sire, Gerryt, is Approved on offspring and is noted for producing a luxurious horse with a beautiful head, great extension, strong impulsion and a fantastic trot. Gerryt's ability to pass on this combination of performance excellence and stellar character has made him a top breeding stallion, and Gerryt offspring are hard to find,---so they are rare gems!

Gerryt competed at Grand Prix Level Dressage in Europe and is a a First Premium Ster Approved stallion and an excellent example of the FPS/FHANA desired sport horse appearance.

Elektra, registered as "Eaka", is up to date on all vaccinations and worming  is ready for her new forever home.

A 6 yr old beautiful 16.3 hand Friesian Gelding that is an incredible mover. Kind hearted, impeccable ground manners. This is a Friesian designed and built for Dressage, or an ideal pleasure horse. Very nice canter and trot with a lovely walk. Mike has masculine stallion like looks with breathtaking movement. “Perfect in every way” best describes him. He enjoys his job and is very responsive. He really is an exceptional mover and incredibly smart. He always wants to please. 

This is a gorgeous full pedigree forward moving friesian with a Great Walk, for you dressage riders. He is also kind and forgiving enough for a timid or novice rider. He loads, clips and stands in crossties nicely. Mike is a confident horse with a very refined WOW presence, and a beautiful head and eye. Mike will be an ideal pleasure, trail, or dressage horse for a beginner OR aspiring dressage rider, due to his lovely temperament and willing nature.

He has a full set of x-rays on a cd that our vet approved. Mike is so much fun to ride because he wants to work. Mike is a far better horse then most friesians we see and try because he is more willing to go forward, but not in a scary way at all. He is beautiful to look at and just a real easy ride. Plus he is fantastic on trails. Mike's lateral work is solid and he is willing to do it.

And his pedigree is SUPERB, with unbroken STER predicates in his motherline:

STER-PREF-STER-STER

When used for lessons, Mike is so patient with them. He is the sweetest guy. Guaranteed whoever gets this horse will LOVE him. He is nice and forward but is also very quiet.

Mike is showing training level currently. Very easy to ride. He can do shoulder-in, haunches-in, and half pass at the trot in his sleep. He does walk-canter, canter-walk. Halts square every time. A real easy push button no issues type horse. His sire is Tjesse 400 and his dam's sire is Rypke 321. Mike is FHANA reg. and is by far one the nicest dressage/trail horses in our barn. He is big. 16' 3 hands and has the sweetest eye ever. Very easy to ride and fantastic on trails.

Mike showed training level last year with a 71 percent in his scores. Think you might want to show a little---Mike should get all 7's and 8's and the judges love him.    He is such a great trail horse and loves the trails, so we hope whoever buys him will trail ride him too! We have a full set of x-rays on him from when he was three, and a thorough vet exam done on Feb 11, 2010.  He has never had any health issues whatsoever.

This is a GOOD one: young, reasonably priced, tall, well trained imported friesian gelding with an outstanding character that is tolerant of ANY level rider.

Breanne is a TALL studbook mare that is currently in foal to the "hot new man" at Iron Springs Farm, Meinse!!!

She is from a "full papered" pedigree of many generations of star, model, and preferent grand dams, and is stam 38.

Breanne's maternal  grandmother is the dam of the approved breeding stallions Tsjerk and Djurre. 

This is one well bred mare:)

 Breanne is in foal to Meinse 439. Meinse is the son of the late Heinse, and this newly approved stallion has a fantastic attitude toward work. His walk is spacious and clean. His trot is active and strong with very good use of his hind legs.His gaits are known for being very strong and pure. The stallion committee praised the versatility of this approved stallion. He produces offspring with a lot of suppleness and the correct type (conformation) for upper level dressage, as well as producing very good Friesians for driving.

Breanne has 3 full brothers who made ster and a full sister that is a first premie ster mare. Breanne's grandmother is Model+ Preferent + Prestatie and was a legend in the Netherlands; She won many championships in show driving and also at the keurings. She had 2 approved stallions, 3 Model + Pref mares and 6 ster daughters!!!!

Breanne is by Pyt, a stallion known for good height (Breanne is 16.1 hands tall) and no longer living. Her mother's sire is Feitse Pref.

Of all the mares we have known, none can compare in coat color to Breanne, who has the deepest blue black coat of them all. It does not fade in summer, no matter how hot the summer, even though she doesn't spend much time in the shade. She enjoys spending time out in the sun, although shade is available for her. This unfading coat is something that one has to witness to believe, as ordinarily all black horses will fade if they receive enough of a beating from sun and sweat. Her coat color is a unique quality that Pyt passed on to some of his offspring.

Breanne is a joy to ride or to drive, as she is very soft mouthed, responsive, forward, yet gentle.This is one NICE all around family/pleasure/trail/dressage horse.  We use Breanne in our dressage lesson program---she is that easy for ANYONE to ride:)

 And don't forget--=--Breanne is a tremendous 2 for 1 value!!!!

Breanne is in foal to Meinse for a foal expected in April of 2010.--see the photo of her unborn foal on the 2nd page of her photos.

Meinse 439 began the 2010 show season with big wins. Meinse 439 claimed the Second Level Reserve Championship and High Score Non-Warmblood at Ocala Winter Dressage. The six-year-old KFPS stallion followed that up with wins in both of his Second Level classes at American Dressage Concours with scores to 70.714%.

Breanne's previous foals also have coats that resist fading in the sun, like hers.  And boy,she has super nice babies!  This mare gets pregnant on the first try every time! As you can see, her family tree has many very excellent horses in it, as well.

Motherline: STER+PREF-MODEL+PREF+PRESTATIE-STER+PREF

Wilhem (Jurjen x Dirk) was born on the 14^th of May 1999, and is 165 cm TALL.

Wilhelm – we call him, Wim – is an expressive gelding with a gorgeous long  mane that is approx. 140 cm long!!!! He also has an outstanding bushy full tail. When in the showring, Wim makes an imposing dressage horse that is a force to be reckoned with, AND is equally impressive when driven in front of a carriage:)

Wilhem has an honest character and is willing to work at all times. He is very well-behaved and easy to handle, even for a child. He is the most patient, forgiving friesian you will meet  who takes everything in stride and is patient with novices, be it the picking of the hooves or the LONG grooming sessions - he simply enjoys it all!

He is placid and peaceful when being attended by the horseshoer, and he loads and trailers like a charm.  When being mounted he stands riveted to the spot; Wim doesn't move a muscle, in order for his rider to climb aboard wiith ease.

Having received basic trick training lessons by the one and only Cor de Jong, Wim knows the spanish walk, kneeling, laying down and bowing. He has taken part in various shows/exhibitions.

 For dressage, he is going First/Second Level ( L Level in Germany)  AND he is a reliable partner in front of the carriage! He is experienced with one-horse, two-horse and four-horse driving.

Wim is currently being ridden  by a 12 year old who rides him for her dressage lessons and takes him out on frequent trail rides in the forest. Even with his small young rider, Wim  has been quite successful in the dressage arena, competing against primarily warmbloods!

For several years Wim was the experienced partner next to Timm V, a gorgeous long haired stallion sold to our friend and client, Micaela in Mass.  Together, Timm and Wim pulled a  two-horse carriage and Wim was also the lead horse  in a four-in -hand.

He was gelded only at the age of seven and never lost his stallion expression.

Wim has an impeccable pedigree full of  the coveted STER predicates.  His mother  is STER, grandmother  is STER, great grandmother is Vb and great great grandmother is STER.

Wilhelm comes with a thorough pre-purchase and clean x-rays, and is ready for his new forever home!

This is an AMAZING (and young) TALL 1st premie STER mare.

Chloe, as we call her, is a 5 year old 16.1 hand tall 1st premie Star Mare.

Currently Chloe is enjoying being ridden and driven, and we will breed her to the approved stallion, Michiel, only available in Europe, in February, if not purchased beforehand.   She is a very sweet and kind mare. We love the pedigree on this 1st premie full pedigree ster mare--she is an Nanno x Gaije.  And wow....Nanno offspring can move!! And the bonus with Chloe is ....she is a PROVEN producer, having had two foals previously. We think Chloe and the newly approved stallion, Michiel, will be a REALLY WOW combination, a foal with phenomenal movement!! 

Chloe is very willing and has a wonderful attitude towards her work. She has lots of mane and tail, she is a very athletic mare and would make an excellent choice as a show prospect, as well.

We love her beautiful face;long swan neck, full feathering, long voluminous tail, and especially her lovely character. Chloe has a sweet nature that NOT all mares have, and a willingness to work.

Motherline has UNBROKEN Ster predicates!!!!  With her conformation and her movement, and 1st premie STER status, Chloe's foals will be stallion candidates for YOU!! Chloe , and sister Agave, were part of a private breeder's reserve collection of  TOP quality mares , and we were only able to purchase them due to the unfortunate and untimely death of their owner.

Look at the photos of Chloe's trot and how far she comes under herself! That's why she received the highly sought after 1st premie star status that only the tippy top 5 % of mares ever receive!

If you are looking for a VERY elegant, modern type star mare for show and/or breeding, this is your mare!!!! She has the movement to excel in the competitive arena, and the pedigree and height to be an asset to any top notch breeding program.

This mare has ideal conformation! And look at her kind eye-this is an EXCELLENT  value on a young 1st premie STER mare that will also be bred to the approved stallion, Michiel, before import, if you like:)

Price includes import to either LA, NY, Mexico City, or Canada, and 3 day usda quarantine, as well as 2 week CEM quarantine.

Chloe ster is $32,900  USD

or $33,900  confirmed in foal to the approved stallion, Michiel.

Stam line 101, 7th generation. The same line that produced the approved stallion Sake.

Bolero is very sweet and kind, easy to handle, young, full pedigree stallion.

His sire is Harmen 424 and the sire of his dam is Nanno 372. This one is going to be TALL, already measuring 16 hands and still growing.

In 2007, Bolero received a 2nd premie. He was born 05-29-07.

His motherline is excellent: Ster-Ster + Pref-Stb-Ster

This young stallion was very well bred and raised with the utmost care and attention, and not only does he have a great pedigree .... Bolero would be an IDEAL DANCING HORSE. The quality of this stallion is evident in his very athletic build and his amazing disposition! He is very trusting, calm and relaxed. Bolero has no stallion manners. He has a strong work ethic, ideal conformation, and beautiful movement, and is very suitable for competitive dressage AND is certainly worth using in a breeding program. He is still growing , and is very well put together.

Here is a VERY reasonably priced young Friesian stallion; that is already showing all the majestic, masculine beauty of the Friesian breed, and he sports an excellent pedigree, and a disposition to die for, - and wonderful ground covering movement.
