TACK


The Friesian horse is generally wider in the back than a warmblood, or many other breeds, and the Friesian horse has bigger ribs and they stand more round. After numerous requests to sell our tack WITH our horses, we decided to design, develop, and import saddles and bridles designed specifically for our horses. That way we COULD sell each horse’s tack WITH the horse! We noticed over the years, some of our Friesians who we used normal saddles on,  with a smaller tree size, were sometimes getting back and shoulder problems.
The Black Sterling saddle is extremely comfortable for our horses, as well as their riders. This saddle is recommended by physiotherapists. The size of the saddle is for the most common size of the Friesian horse. The size is exactly the same in inches as the original Fryso saddle, but this saddle is less expensive and more durable!

• Deep seat with wide weight bearing area and narrow twist

• Large weight bearing panel design for optimal contact with the horse's back

• Ergonomic Stirrup Bar

• Easy Change Fit Solution System (easy change gullet system and easy change riser system) The easy change fit solution means you have the ability to change the gullet to a narrow all the way up to an extra wide as well as insert "shims" in the panels of the saddle like a built in riser bad. With the easy change fit solution system you are able to provide a custom fit for every horse without using saddle pads for corrections. Most likely our friesians only need the wide or extra wide gullets so I sent a couple of each with the saddles.

Best Fitting Turnout Blanket for a Friesian

>>Click for More Photos<<

Water-resistant, yet breathable,  medium weight outdoor blanket with optimal ventilation. This blanket has 600 Denier Ripstop outer shell and is Waterproof and Breathable.

-WARM 180g of polyfill, NO RUB 210T nylon lining, features low cross surcingles,  and leg straps.

Our blackberry two tone turn out blanket with black trim is designed to provide your horse with a lightweight, waterproof and breathable turnout option at an affordable price.

The BSF  turn out blanket is designed as a tough and durable turnout for a wide range of conditions. 

The withers are protected with a fleece covering.

BSF turn out blanket is stylish, with custom BSF Friesian graphics, and will protect your horse from cold and damp days in the winter time. If you like to turn out your horse, and need to protect him from inclement weather, this is an ideal blanket for you!  It has proven to be not only good looking, but also durable on our Friesians, and is resistant to abrasion. In addition, the blanket is Teflon® coated to shed dirt and resist staining and is constructed with every feature of quality construction.
