Janna,

Thank you ever so very much! I just bought the tack package from you. I am beyond excited and cannot possibly express my immense gratitude for you & you're willingness to be patient with me.

He's a lifelong dream fulfilled for me and if you knew my life, you'd understand the immense weight that statement holds. Deepest thank you and you have no idea how excited i am to finally meet him!!! 

My forever horse and soon to be very best friend in this whole world. Thank you again!

Thank you  Janna Weir at Black Sterling Friesians  for my absolute dream horse! If anyone is looking, her horses are well worth every penny. My lifelong dream fulfilled.

-Liz in Calif and Las Vegas

I just can’t find enough words of gratitude. Riley is a dream horse for me. Kind, gracious, brave, smart, stoic, sweet, gentle… He settled in immediately after arriving our barn. Everyone thinks he is beautiful and calm. He adjusts very well to his environment. I heard nothing but compliments from everyone who has cared for him during his long journey to California. And since this is the first time I purchased a horse (from the internet too!), I really appreciate the daily update and photos during his quarantine and layover. We love him so much. Petra and I will cherish him and take very good care of him.

Thank you for finding this rare and exceptional beauty.  Everyone loves him. 

-Wendy 

Thank you millions.

Hi Janna-

Just sending you pics of me and my new boy “Hidde”.

We have never imported a horse and were not sure what to expect, but Hidde has exceeded our expectations.

Thank you!

I just want to share with you and anyone who wants to buy a quality Friesian, without having to worry about honesty and integrity. I have been following your web site for years and have admired your beautiful Friesians offered for sale. I recently lost my 4th level Friesian to a very unusual adrenal tumor that invaded a large blood vessel. Rode that morning and gone that night. Of course I was devastated. After a month of grieving and coming to terms with my loss, I started to horse shop. I found a site called "friesian______"  that advertised quality horses from Europe and they were all about integrity and honesty, reputation, etc. It reminded me of Janna's site. I found a horse in my price range and inquired. This particular horse was already sold and I was redirected to another one that was made to sound perfect for me. A horse I could continue to do dressage with. I was assured he was very sound. No xrays done. After consulting with my trainer, I was advised to get xrays before I committed to purchase. Long story short, the horse turned out to have significant issues with his right front foot and would not be suitable for anything but light work. I called Cheryl  and sent a full report of xrays that cost me over $800. The response was ‘IM SORRY”. No offer to reimburse any of my money. What topped it off was this horse continued to be advertised as a dressage prospect. Following this near miss I went on Janna's site and fell in love with the most beautiful horse I have ever seen.

Janna has been stellar and made the purchase of this gorgeous guy seem easy. You can count on her for honesty, integrity and standing behind what she says.

It is a swamp out there, purchasing horses, and with Janna, you have no worries.

Update....my new boy arrived late last nite.What a beautiful sweet friendly horse that acts like he has been here all his life. Amazing character and attitude. Vet saw him today and got glowing report. Comment "well taken care of". You rock Janna ! Made This Overseas Purchase So easy!! Thank you!!!!! What a wow factor he gets from everyone! New nick name is Fabio! -Marlene in Las Vegas

Update from Prada's trainer:

He’s definitely international quality. We were just shy of a 70% in our second ever PSG. To say I am a firm believer in this horse would be an understatement! He’s identical to his father, ANDERS! Marlene says great things about you!

Wanted to let you know that after the weeks of travel and quarantine, Nina has arrived at her forever home, ironically on my Birthday.

She is a tender sweetheart.

Thank you for everything!!! She is a gentle friesian and I am totally in love--- LOL.

Hi Janna!

Margriet arrived last night and she is settling in nicely. She is so sweet natured and inquisitive! We’re already building a good rapport with her. Thank you so much for your help in making this happen for us! She is a real dream come true. So, so sweet, and not spooky at all, just like you said. 

-Joanna in Kansas

Janna this has been amazing and I am so excited! 

He’s perfection it’s a dream come true. I can’t believe it’s finally happening.

I’m sure he will just be one many.

I do have two young’s girls who will probably need horses. Haha. I can’t wait to meet him. Thank you so much! 

Update:

Hi Janna, Asher new name Lazarus showed up today. He was a bit stressed from all the travel but he mellowed out in about 30 minutes. He is so sweet and curious and kind. I am in love, he is absolutely perfect. Thank so much! You have made this girls dream come true.  He is going to be a wonderful part of our family for a very long time.

Thank you! I’ll be in touch to buy another horse when my girls get a bit older! I’m so thrilled. 

Lauren in Maine

Hi Janna!

 I just wanted to tell you how much I love Kenzo. He is just such an amazingly goofy and loving horse. I couldn’t have dreamt of a better companion. 

Kenzo is settling in really well and is just such a love bug.  I’m already so in love.

-Adria

My farrier and vet came by today and both love Taron!

They were impressed with what great condition he was in. My farrier said that this was one of the first imported horses he has seen whose feet were in great condition upon arrival. My vet was impressed with his condition; normally imported horses she has examined are totally exhausted. Taron was very charming while she examined him.

UPDATE:

Just wanted to let you know that I took my first ride on Taron this morning and he was perfect—definitely a deluxe model with power steering and, most importantly, power brakes.  I had spent the week preparing for time.  First day leading him around the pasture.  Second day leading him around the pasture wearing a saddle.  A couple of days long lining him around the pasture wearing the saddle and bridle. This morning he stood like a statue when I mounted him.  (My husband was standing in front of him.). I walked him around the pasture; did a little shoulder in and haunches in and leg yields; and trotted.  He is very comfortable to ride.  He didn’t speed up or slow down unless asked to even when we were heading back to the barn.  Very responsive to leg, seat, and half halts. He is definitely living up to (and beyond) my expectations!!!

-Seelchen in Calif

UPDATE...

This is the 6th Friesian Purchased by Grand Prix dressage trainer Seelchen from BSF!! Here is what her husband had to say, "Well, we’ve had him a week now and we are absolutely thrilled. He is extremely affectionate and easy to handle. Seelchen loves his big gaits and he is already beginning to take to her training. As you know, we’ve had a lot of them and we feel this is the best all-around baby we’ve ever had. Thanks again for another future superstar!!!"
