4 Year Old Stallion 16.0 hands Ulbert 390 X Dirk 298
Mindert is a beautiful ster stallion with super movement!!! He is well ridden under saddle and carriage. We LOVE this stallion's easy character. He is always willing to work:) He has a good canter under the saddle, which is not always easy for young friesians.
Mindert is clean on X-rays and this boy has GOOD semen:)
As a 2 1/2 yr old this boy became a STER stallion, and was a bit too youthful to make it to the 70 day test. But we think with age and maturity, this Ulbert son has a VERY good chance to become an approved stallion in the U.S.!!! His mother is DOUBLE preferent...she has had 8 STER offspring!!!!
How many imported ster stallions do you know that have STER+PREFERENT four times in a row in their motherline?????
Mindert does! Mindert EASILY made ster as a young 2 1/2 yr old. The Judges LOVED him. He was still a baby (read: weak) but we think this stallion definitely has potential, and should be tried for Approval again. His semen is GOOD and being a STER is in his genes.... his half brother , Willem S, was in the 70 days test in 2004/5. Mindert STER is a very promising dressage horse, as well. He is about 16.0 hands, still growing, and sired by Ulbert. Oh yeah, and did we mention the motherline on this STER stallion is 4 times ster preferent in a row (!!!!!). This young stallion is not only ideally built uphill with a strong, short coupled back, but he also has the talent and most importantly, the work ethic, to go all the way to FEI levels. Mindert moves readily off the leg and is ridable without any physical effort on the rider's part, or spurs or whip needed:) Check out his fabulous trot in the videoclips above. This is a beautiful Ulbert STER stallion. He has the fairytale look with tons of mane, tail and feathers, and a very proud showy posture. Mindert STER is trained to ride and drive, has the oh so sought after SHOW ring experience, is very smart and willing, and likes to work. He has great conformation [well, of course he does, he received the coveted STER designation for his outstanding conformation and movement!] with big, beautiful movement and lots of natural suspension. Mindert also received a 1st premie as a foal, a designation only bestowed on the tippy top 3-5% of all foals. He has a low 4.1% in breeding and a thorough pre-purchase exam completed on Dec 3, 2007, and good clinical x-rays and semen report, on file with the KFPS.
This is an amazing DANCING stallion and you will fall in love with him at first sight. Solid in walk, trot, canter transitions and he just gets better and better everytime we work him. He has good use of back and hind end. Mindert is a PROVEN winner going saddleseat and has GREAT DRESSAGE POTENTIAL!! He is wonderful out on trails (crosses bridges, streams, etc.) We love Mindert's good attitude and he loves to work, great impulsion! And the added bonus--try Mindert for approval in the U.S.!! He has the goods, INCREDIBLE pedigree, and the Judges LOVE him!!! Mindert made a very successful showring debut in the walk and trot division, with Julia in the irons, at the Monterey Springfest Horse Show in April!!! This incredible trotting machine was crowned GRAND CHAMPION Walk and Trot Friesian. Watch for Mindert and Julia Goldman as they wipe out the competiton on the west coast show circuit this season:) ****Available to an approved home only****

1 yr old Year Old Stallion wander 352 X Oege 267 PREF
Wiebe is a spectacular young friesian stallion out of an Oege Pref STER mare that we sold a couple years ago, Madonna Esley STER, whose Grandmother is the famous Wellie Ster+Pref+Prest. This young man is sired by the extremely popular LONG Haired Wander 352, and his pedigree has no less than 19 generations of Ster or better on it!!! Wiebe has an excellent pedigree with lots of Star mares in his motherline!!! Wiebe was born on 7/16/07, and earned a 2nd premie at the keuring. He has a very low 2.34% in-breeding. If you are looking for an absolutely top shelf colt, here he is. We are very to offer this top quality stud with extremely long legs, a short coupled back and a beautiful swan-like neck. His face is chiseled and very striking. He is curious, affectionate, and has a cooperative personality.The thing we like the best about Wiebe is his incredible movement! He literally floats above the ground with a lightness that is truly amazing! His long legs produce a stride with fantastic natural suspension and his extremely active hind end gives him enormous natural propulsion. Dressage riders take note: this is a friesian stallion to get EXCITED about!! This is a tall stallion that will have the movement, conformation and the mind to excel to impressive levels in the dressage arena, and of course, has the potential to be an APPROVED breeding stallion!! Reg # 200705453 B-day 7-16-07 In Breeding 2.34% Motherline STER-Stb-STER+PRF+PREST-STER He stems from stam line 201, a relatively new line!
Wiebe is already doing flying lead changes in the pasture with the other colts, come to our Sonoma ranch and check him out! We are betting you won't be able to take your eyes off of him. |

10 yrs old Year Old STER Gelding 15.3 hands Anton 343 X Nykle 309
Majestic is one of our own “keeper” horses we RARELY offer for sale. He was imported in Feb of 2004 from Denmark. We searched all over Holland for the very BEST friesians to import, and the best one we found was located inn Denmark! Since we cannot pronounce his registered name [Up-t 'fan Panhueys], this gorgeous boy’s barn name is “Majestic”.
Majestic is a rare fairytale STER Gelding. He was selected as an FPS/FHANA provisionally Approved Stallion at the Sept 2004 keuring [see the story on our website], and became a STER stallion and Champion Stallion of the keuring, and was headed to the Central Inspection, until he fell ¼ of an inch too short of the FPS/FHANA height requirement (Our loss is YOUR gain!). His bloodlines are SUPERB: mother is STER+PREF, Grandmother is STER+PREF, Great Grandmothr is STER+PREF, and Great Great Grandmother is STER. Majestic's birthday is Apr 14, 1998, reg # 199811981. Majestic is now a gelding and has an enviable show record, winning blues at every single “A” USA Equestrian Show he has attended!!!!!!!!!!!!! And this is one VERSATILE boy, he was crowned Dressage Suitability Champion at the U.P.H.A. Woodside Horse Show, as well as a coveted win in the Novice Friesian under Saddle class at the Monterey Springfest Horse Show. This gorgeous 10 yr old STER Gelding won the Friesian Pleasure Saddle Junior/Limit Horse class with Janna AND he beat his barn mates in the championship at the Woodside /UPHA Chapter 1 Show. Majestic was AGAIN wearing the roses, as the Amateur Friesian under Saddle Open and Grand Champion at the Del Mar Charity Fair. At the Santa Barbara Show, the stunning Anton son competed against 11 other Friesians to win the Friesian under Saddle Walk and Trot class. And in the Amateur Friesian Under Saddle class, all three of BSF's show horses were in the large class, and Majestic was the winner, with Sterling and Blu coming in 3rd, and Stormy and Julia a close 4th. He then went to Salem, Oregon, where the audience went absolutely WILD for this long haired fairytale horse, with a heart of gold. With Majestic’s laid back style, we weren't sure how he would fair in the Amateur Open English Pleasure, against other breeds. Majestic AGAIN came out on top, he won! In the Amateur Friesian Under saddle class, he again left the ring with the blue ribbon hanging from his browband. This long haired beauty had quite a fan club coming to pet him after each class he won in Oregon. Majestic's championship followed, he sure was the CROWD'S favorite!! Majestic left the Am. Friesian Under Saddle Championship with roses around his neck, a long tri-color ribbon hanging from his bridle, and a gorgeous new leather halter being carried out by his rider. To show his versatility, Majestic wowed the crowds and put on an incredible exhibition with another Friesian stallion at Dressage in the Wine Country. The difficult decision to sell Majestic was made so that Janna has more time to concentrate on her new show “prospect”, Ate’. Besides, Majestic has already won everything on the west coast! A TOP dressage or saddleseat horse in every way, Majestic is trained well for carriage driving, and is excellent in Pairs and 4-in hand. He is a kitten to handle, VERY appropriate for a scared or timid person, because he is so gentle! We frequently ride Majestic bareback! We have NEVER seen Majestic even remotely spook or spin or take off, no vices whatsoever. NONE. While we have used Majestic as a show and exhibition horse, he is truly a gem of a pleasure/trail horse.
Majestic is a REPLICA of his daddy, the #3 performance producer in the world, Anton, who reportedly sold for 2 million euros. Majestic’s mane is already to his KNEES, and will be to the ground within the next few years. Majestic has clean x-rays taken in feb 2008, and is ready to win for you. Majestic is a once in a lifetime friesian, rarely available, with an unmatched show record indicating not only is this boy gorgeous, he can PERFORM, and WIN. The Judges, and audiences LOVE him. Our family loves him. |

7 yrs old Year Old Gelding 16.0 hands Ulke 338 X Gaije 295
Edzer is a reasonably priced, sweet, kind, easy going Friesian gelding with a nice thick mane and tail. He has the SO sought after competition experience, competing at L1 Level dressage, comparable to our First Level. He is sired by ULKE 338 and out of a STER mare by Gaije (born 03-11-2001) with an excellent pedigree, and he stands exactly 16.0 hands tall or 163 cm. Edzer was a 1st premie foal!!!! It is nearly impossible to find good looking, easy for everyone to ride, 7 yr old fresian geldings with MUCH EXPERIENCE under saddle and in different settings,and competing at dressage competitions. Edzer HAS the VERY sought after show experience, presently competing at L1 level dressage, which is our Level One [First level]. He has three excellent supple gaits, is a willing worker, and VERY reliable in every different setting, and with children. He has been owned by the same family in the Netherlands for the last 4 years, and is really a nice family horse----when the mom isn't competing with him, her 12 yr old daughter enjoys her time pleasure riding him. Edzer is a wonderful, kind, giving family horse that is just as at home out on the trail and in the woods, as he is in the competitive dressage arena. He is the kindest, sweetest, most willing partner you can imagine. Edzer is our TRAILMASTER, he spooks at nothing, and will take you ANYWHERE. His movement and conformation are ideal. He has 3 wonderful gaits, and dressage riders-you will like how comfortable Edzer is to sit. He is only being sold because his owner is acquiring a warmblood, and she doesn't have time to show two horses!
We like Edzer's uphill conformation, his jet black shiny coat, and his WONDERFUL disposition. Edzer would be an ideal choice for a novice, timid, or inexperienced rider, or child, or amateur adult, due to his willingness to please. And this is a very reasonably priced friesian gelding, making him an excellent first horse for some lucky home. This is what Edzer's owner in Holland has to say about him: "My friesian horse name is Edzer. Edzer is a horse who is very reliable. He is very easy. In the B class we had 30 points and several first prizes!!! I have just started L1 Level with him. Edzer gets along well with other horses. I have never had any problems with him. Always healthy. He is in very good condition! I'm training him 5/6 days per week. Once per week I have a one hour lesson. This is in a village near to where I live. I go there with my trailer and Edzer all by myself. I can tell you that Edzer is a horse with a golden character. He is definitly not lazy and wants to work for you. I have a daugther who is 12 years old and even she can ride Edzer." He is 100% healthy and has a thorough pre-purchase exam completed on May 5th, 2008.
Edzer does it all....he loads, clips, ties, bathes, trailers, stands for the farrier, and has no vices whatsoever. AND he is a real eyecatcher, always receiving compliments at every dressage competition! Edzer will be flying into Los Angeles soon, or let us know, and we can fly him into NY for you. Don’t miss this bold, beautiful, honest Friesian gelding! |

8 yrs old Year Old STER Gelding 16.1 hands Jelte 365 X Hearke 254 PREF
Belize is one GORGEOUS 8 yr old STER gelding!!!! His mane is OVER 1.5 meters long AND he is a dressage superstar, competing at M2 level dressage in both Germany and Holland [doing all exercises required of 3rd level without changes]. Belize was an Approved FPZV German Breeding Stallion. He is only 8 years old, and he is training flying changes:) We just had him x-rayed and they were clean, and are on cd rom and available for review with your vet. You won't find a more beautiful horse anywhere. His mane is just unbelievable and his tail is very thick. He is not only terribly beautiful, but also terribly TALENTED. He is confirmed in M2 Dressage AND he is a super carriage driving horse. Belize and Conan go in a pair together and are stunning driving together:) Belize, registered as "allard", is the kind of horse---wherever you take him, he steals the show! He has a full paper and also jumps---he had to do a riding, driving, pulling, and JUMPING test in order to become a German Approved stallion! He completed the stallion test and was approved in 2004. Look at Allard at: http://www.lfl.bayern.de/itz/pferd/06012/linkurl_0_28.pdf
and you will see his points. He was not used much for breeding, however; last year (2007) he only bred 12 mares, and we thus castrated him, so he could concentrate on being the super sporthorse that he is. Belize's extended trot will make a warmblood look pale in comparison. This horse is really special. This is a truly exceptional opportunity for a dressage rider, or friesian enthusiast, who knows what he/she is looking for! Belize moves readily off the leg and is rideable without any physical effort. Belize has successful top dressage bloodlines, including unbroken STER predicates in his motherline, giving him the perfect foundation for his dressage career. Already showing successfully in Germany against warmbloods, he has a great work ethic with fantastic rideability. He has the gaits and character of a German Import you can be proud of. He is easy to trailer and bathe, stands well for the farrier and has no vices. This incredible looking STER gelding is a horse of a lifetime that can take you all the way. His elastic balanced gaits make it certain that a successful future at FEI will be no coincidence. This eight year old has comfortable gaits, and is uncomplicated to ride. Belize is an exceptional choice if you want the BEST! Motherline: STER-STER-STER-STER B-day 7/12/00 Combination Number for his Dressage Point History: DE404044550100 |
