Testimonials

I can't tell you how much I love Warner D.!! He is exactly as you said through our emailing letters and as you had listed on your web site. He was no problem in transporting from California to Texas.Everyday I just can't believe how incredible he is, both with his personality and his elastic movement. I'm sure that we'll be tough act to follow at the Dressage shows!! My trainer loves him too. She loves his willingness, gentleness and she especially loves his mind. I can't thank you enough for listening to what I was looking for and for pointing me toward Warner D. Not all sellers are as honest as you are and I just want to thank you soooo much for finding this fabulous horse for me. I have already recommended you to my friends!
Fondly,

Hi Janna,
I am so excited to hear today that Jennifer is buying Gauke! Warner will be happy too when I tell him tomorrow . I refer so many people to your site after they comment on how wonderful Warner is. He’s the favorite in the barn and he opened the way for Jennifer and others to see how fabulous Friesians are. I’ve mentioned before that your website is really perfect in the way you explain about each horse and have plenty of pictures to show. This really makes a difference compared to other websites selling horses. So, I just wanted to say Hi and I can’t wait to see Gauke come to our barn! Take care,
Sally in Texas

""When I started looking for my Friesian I knew I wanted a horse that was safe for a beginning rider. When I saw your ad for Kobus he sounded like exactly the right horse for me. He was old enough to be well trained, beautiful, and very lovable. We had my Sister-In-Law take the time to come down and ride him. She called with the news that he was everything you promised and more. We purchased Kobus site unseen. I had to wait two long weeks to get to meet him in person. When I got there you made me feel so welcome that I hated to leave. My experience in purchasing Kobus was absolutely memorable! He is my gentle giant puppy dog and we are learning dressage together. I would recommend a Friesian to anyone and recommend that they call you first!

Sietse (now renamed Warlock) is the greatest horse I could ever imagine. He is great around kids and my 9 year old son is starting to ride him. He is awesome on trail and never spooks and has a great disposition. Thanks so much for getting him for me.

Soft Fury is EXACTLY as you described him, bombproof, perfect on trails, drop dead GORGEOUS, and my pocketbook is thanking me for buying him from YOU!'

We require horses that will be suitable in a ring with all kinds of noises, loud music, lights flashing, smoke machines going, etc. We found them at Black Sterling!"

My entire life I have dreamed of owning a Friesian horse, even before I knew what they were I knew that I would have one in my lifetime. Inspired by just knowing that someone close to my home was actually housing Friesians, we made the jaunt, guided by intuition to your stable and there is where I met Sander. I knew it the first time I saw him, something I can't quite explain but I knew he would be my horse. This is a lifelong dream and intention that has come true for me, and I can't tell you how grateful to you and Ron I am for help making this happen. Sander has been an unbelievable blessing and I am so happy we found each other. Thanks Janna and Ron!!!

It is nice to have horses added to our show that we can integrate quickly due to their solid dressage training foundation.

Tjeerd, our first Friesian, has only been a part of our family for a month, but already he is my best friend. He is kind, energetic, fair,sweet, gorgeous, willing, and has a great deal of spirit. Watching him float-trot around playfully shaking his head in the pasture, or thundering over the hill with the other geldings, always lifts my heart. For a very recent gelding (who became one only six weeks ago in Holland) he is remarkably well-behaved. He is taking to his Parelli Natural Horsemanship training with ease, and, though green, is doing very well under saddle. He is wonderful fun. If I could I would spend all day with him! My mother and I are his co-owners, and he is the horse we have dreamed of all our lives. What a privilege to get to play with such a delightful steed! I can't wait to take him to our first medieval games tournament, and our first dressage show . . . life is good when you are in the company of a Friesian. Thank you Janna, for matching us to the perfect horse for our needs. Someday we hope to find a mare with you!

Alas, having three Friesians proved to be one too many Boards to pay, and I sold him last month to the nicest lady in the world (well besides you!) and he is the Prince of her stable :) . . . a sweeter horse you will never meet.
I wanted you to know that Tjeerd appears in a cameo in "Dark Horse", if and when you ever see the movie, he is the horse at end in the white trailer. Beautiful closeup of his lovely loving face . . . sniff . . . oh, how I miss him! Thanks for 5 years with such a fabulous First Friesian!
