Hi Janna,
Just wanted to let you know Marmi arrived safe. He's absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for braiding his mane. He is being a perfect gentleman. I had to lead him in from the road in the middle of the night, past my mares who were running around like maniacs, and Marmi behaved very well, listening and trusting.
Thanks for everything! We are enjoying the new member of our family!

Hi Janna! Marmi (we call him Jerry), is just the sweetest fellow. I am attaching a photo and wanted to share a story. Visualize a cold, windy day, with idiot neighbor shooting. Jerry was very steady and responsive. Had a lovely ride. While dismounting, I accidentally forgot to detach the airbag cable that connects my safety vest to the saddle. It sounds like a firecracker when it deploys! Jerry just stood there calmly like the gentleman he is. We've been on trail rides and have taken him to a nearby indoor arena for schooling. I have him in training with a wonderful trainer and we have plans to take him to a schooling show in 2 weeks. Thanks again! We're enjoying him very much! 

Update.... Hi Janna, Marmi (Jerry) went to his first dressage show today and earned a 64. He was super good, despite a cold windy day and a lot of commotion.. He is such a delight!

Hi Janna,

Wabe is doing great, he is just what I was looking for. Just an all around easy guy. My dressage trainer is also very impressed with him.

Thank you for a great Friesian, he's the perfect horse for me :) 

-Lisa in New Hampshire

He is amazing and I think if any horse could attempt to fill Wiggle's shoes it will be this boy.

Thank YOU!

Hello Jana,

-Karen in Bakersfield

I know my riding abilities do not give him justice... but I rode Reign for the first time tonight and I just had to share! ...my first time riding in a dressage saddle... this beautiful forgiving stallion... I am in love!

Update....
Love this boy!

-Lynn from Dream Gait Friesians

Arrived...beautiful and quiet!  Settling in nicely.

He is wonderful. GREAT training.

Dear Janna, I absolutely love him. I always said if I could have a cross between my Andalusian mare in movement and a trot you can sit all day and my Friesian gelding who is safe safe safe with a canter to die for in a horse, it would be the perfect horse. Rioma is all that and more. Most people lie about the height, I thought you did also. When I saw him, I thought he would be too big for me! He is perfect. His build is perfect. Thank you!!!

Update....My painting of Rioma. We call him Rio. He is fabulous. Far exceeded my expectations!!!!!-  -Martha in FLA

Hi Janna, the mares arrived tonight about midnight, they are absolutely beautiful!!!!

Janna, It was a pleasure to meet you. We are all THRILLED with Zaozerny! We could not be more pleased. Angel will start lessons on him with the trainer, immediately. I will get him out on the trail with my other horses. It will all be great! Again, we are delighted to have ZZ with us. Much appreciation, Charlyn in San Francisco

Update... Dear Janna. Here are a couple of more images of Zao and my daughter.... he is wonderful.  THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO!

Hi Janna,
Tiberius is doing very well.
He's such a sweetie and a bit of a goofball with way too much personality! He and Versace are attached at the hip. They are nicknamed the twins. They get turned out together and love to play!
He's a lot of fun to ride and is progressing very well.

Update... Hi Janna, I own three Friesians that came from Black Sterling and it has changed my life! My gelding, Wander, I purchased from you about 9 years ago. He is amazing and I am enjoying riding him daily. Tiberius is a gelding that I purchased from a friend of mine, Larraine.  I purchased Alwyn, my stallion, from Chelsea Balcaen in Canada several years ago. Chelsea did an incredible job with training and showed Alwyn through INTERMEDIARE 1!!.... I have fallen  more in love with him.... His character is astounding.

I talked to other  friesian sellers before finding Janna at BlackSterlingFriesians.com, and i am SOOOO GLAD i didnt buy elsewhere!  The quality of Janna's friesians are unparalleled ANYWHERE.  Janna listed to exactly what i wanted, and FOUND it for me. THANK YOU---there are very few horse sellers in the world like Janna, and i thank her from the bottom of my heart.

Hi Janna,

Thanks so much for caring for him "like your own"!!!!
We are really so excited about him! He is the most perfect, fun to ride guy, feel so lucky to have found him. Really appreciate your kindness, understanding, and patience. Also so thankful for my wonderful husband who felt we must buy this special horse.  I know Wisse will do his best for me!!

Best, -Dolores in Oregon

Update... Janna, he is being so good! Of course!

Janna,
We ADORE him, he is so sweet. Really different breed than what I am used to, but really cool. Montana is difficult because we don't do much in the winter. The weather has been good enough though that my trainer has been putting rides on him and he is doing well. He gets along fabulously with my other two, his movement is so fun to watch. 

I am going to go on to your sight to purchase a Western Saddle and a bridle. David would like Dutch to have his own stuff (of course).

I want to tell you that the Calgary import facility was fantastic, they are  super caring and efficient. I would not EVER hesitate to bring horses to the Northwest coming through their facility. Crossing the border was relatively easy, and all went smoothly. Dutch is a trooper, handled the ride home great. We talked at all the gas stops and he was super calm.

Thanks again!!!! Janice & David (Montana)

Update... Enjoying an afternoon with a glorious Montana Rainbow.Dutch is doing fantastic, he really likes to go places and seems to love being ridden. That sounds funny to say, but I have horses that seem to just do because they have to.
