Lucca (Jense)  is doing great so far. We are enjoying him. Thank you again!

Hi Janna,
Hope your 2015 is off to a good start! Just wanted to give you an update on Willem. We decided to make his first outing in 2014 the IFSHA World Championship show and he was named Reserve World Champion, the World Champion was another horse we have in training as well! We love Willem and completely agree with you that he has FEI potential. We adore his lofty trot and canter.
Take care, Scott

Janna, I am so excited thank you. I feel like a child at Xmas, thanks again for giving me this opportunity! Can' t wait till he gets here...

Roosevelt arrived a little after ten o'clock last night. As the hauler brought him off the trailer he was even more beautiful than I expected.

Even in the dark I could appreciate his beauty!

He was a bit nervous as I led him to his new home but he was trusting of me. He settled right in and nickered at the new neighbors.

Thank you once again Janna for making this possible!

This is Merlin- (I think you named him Tino).

I think I bought him from you like 10 years ago maybe 12… Anyways, he’s doing great!!!

He’s 21 !!

 Ciska is really settling in well. We have had friends and neighbors come to see her and they all comment on how calm and relaxed she is – especially after being transported across country and coming into a new barn with new people and new horses. She is truly amazing.

That horse is totally chill! Even when our horses were all lined up to see her, she still didn't get upset. Not one horse put their ears back even when they met through the fence.
She is just awesome! So refined and really beautiful. I already love her personality. Nothing seems to upset her. Just what I was hoping she would be. Of course, there are 8 Nigerian Dwarf goats in the barn providing their own kind of music for her to listen to. She didn't even seem to mind that!
Love her already!

Update...
Hey Janna: I just thought I would check in and let you know that Ciska is doing just great. The winter in Iowa has been horrific with not a whole lot of snow but really cold temps and horrendous winds. She has absolutely superb manners and is really affectionate. She is a great horse. THANK YOU.

 Sorzio made it safe and sound last night. He is such a sweetheart!!!!

Sooo happy!!!

I love and adore him. --Thanks! Jessica in GA

Hi Janna!!! 2016 was an incredibly successful year for us! Our scores at First Level were as high as 78.89%, winning High Point Lower Level at the Woodside Dressage Show in May! Odin and I made our debut at Second Level in October, with limited warmup due to rain. He stayed focused in the ring and won both Second Level classes! Odin is adored everywhere he goes - he has fans! He's the most trainable boy with the sweetest demeanor I've ever come across. He's good in every situation, and handles new places with ease. Thank you so much for bringing this WONDERFUL boy to the U.S. so he can be enjoyed by all! -Tiffany

Did i mention i am in Heaven with my boy Mystere?

Big Grin ;-)

-John in So Cal

Well Janna you've done it again. This guy is a true Super Horse. We expected something special but he is off the charts! An amazing combo of looks,hair size, movement and most importantly a truly great character. You know that we have achieved remarkable success with all our other BSF horses but even we are stunned by Dracula's potential. Thanks again for putting us together.

Update... Hi Janna, Dracula (Aise) was awarded a 1st Premie Ster today at the large Southern California Keuring in Del Mar. He also won Champion Gelding and beat the Champion Stallion and Champion Mare to be the Keuring Show Champion. You will die when you see the pictures of his trot! He has also just begun his USDF career  to rave reviews and excellent scores.  Hope all is well with you...Seelchen and David

Thanks again for this handsome boy.

He is going to Azerbaijan (next to Turkey) and will have the best care and training Have a good weekend!

Regards, Vlad

Macy is thrilled with him!!! Krista in Stevens Point, Wisc

Janna, I just wanted to let you know that Tuoso (Beau) arrived safe and sound. He is doing really well. He got a bath today and was such a good boy. I love him already.

Hi everybody,

Giorgio arrived last night! He looks amazing and seems to be adjusting perfectly fine so far. I checked on him this morning and found him covered in shavings! Thank you SO much for all of your hard work getting him here! Excellent scouting, Janna! I owe you big time:)

Update...

Hi Janna, I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know that I'm in love! Giorgio (going by Roel for now), is adjusting beautifully to his new home, and he and I have bonded very well. We're working with a trainer here at the barn, and we've made a friesian lover out of him, too. :) He has the perfect personality for me, and he's absolutely beautiful. His gaits are gorgeous and huge (I'm learning how to ride his big gaits!). He's definitely turning heads around the barn. Thank you SO much for your help finding him!!

Hi Jana, I purchased Georgio (now Roel) through you last February - we've had a great year! His training is coming along well, and my training is coming along slowly. :) I love him dearly; he's become a great friend. He's an amazing escape from the busy world. I thought you'd appreciate the update, since I know how much you care about all the horses that you place!
Here's my favorite picture of us (a selfie). He's never pushy, but does love snuggles from me. We're kind of two peas in a pod.
Mikaela in Santa Rosa

Hello Janna!Thanks for everything - you have been sooo helpful through all of this! You simply have the best Friesians (and service) in the world.

I am constantly working with all of them (Frangelica is coming along beautifully and I have started with Dorette - she has great promise too!) - and the foals are gorgeous - ...we are waiting for Famke STER and Kosmo tomorrow PM, so lots of excitement is in the air!!  Take care and many, many thanks!
Update... Ate, Timmy and Kosmo are all dong GREAT!! They are my love and meaning of life, thank you again for everything!

I set out to find the PERFECT new home for a horse that you don't own....HE owns you!!! It was with great sadness in our heart that we couldn't keep Ferrari forever, that being said---- Kathleen an attorney in Louisiana, could not love this boy more...what a wonderful new home for this magnificent animal!!Congrats.

Hi Janna - Here is an update on the magnificent Ferrari. He is so gorgeous, he stops traffic here! Literally. I know I don't have to tell you how smart he is! He works with both heart and intelligence. I am most impressed by his eagerness to please and his wonderfully calm, sweet disposition both under saddle and on the ground. He even lets me blow-dry his wet feathers! I could not have found a more perfect horse and look forward to a long, happy partnership with this incredible boy! Thanks for much! He's the star of the barn. I think he is a scream. Having a ball. Thanks so much for this gorgeous man.

Update...He loves living outside! He has a huge open house when he needs it, He is a much happier boy,  Still thanking you for this smart, talented, sweetheart. Hope you have great holidays.

Kathleen in Louisiana
