Just arrived, love at first sight!

What a sweetheart of a horse!

Right now he is the lone ranger on the property, so we hang out with him as much as possible. I swear he would crawl in our laps if he he could!

I'll be bringing my girl home mid June, then he'll have some company. Will keep you updated so you can post more testimonial from satisfied customers on your website! Take care!

Janna,
Breath is doing wonderfully. I decided to call her Bella. I'm sure you already know that it means Beautiful, and it is a bit easier for me to say. She is such a lover. She thrives on attention, which she gets a ton of out at the stables. She is the only Friesian there, and a bit of a star. I have had people ask to take their picture next to her when I have had her out grooming her. That took me a bit by surprise. I also had to special order a western saddle to fit her. She is a bit of a wide bodied girl....Tee-hee.
She definitely loves chow time, and has gotten a bit of a belly since arriving here. When it gets closer to the Keuring, I will have to put her on a diet. I'm sure she will not care much for that. I have taken her out on trail several times alone. She has done wonderfully. We have passed several trail ride groups going back in while we were on our way out, and she could care less. Thank you so much for my wonderful partner.

Update...8 Years Later... I bought a Friesian from you called Breath back in 2005. I love her!!! Bella (formerly Breath) is awesome. We just do trail, but she loves it. Never barn sour. Always loves to go out. Shellie

Me my son, granddaughter and Auke who we now refer to Gabriel. I love this boy to death and can't thank you enough !!

She got here in great shape, pranced off the transport, rolled right into her stall and started eating like she hadn't eaten in days lol. She's beautiful. She seems to like her new digs. Thanks for the beautiful horse!

Update... Athena is doing well and is currently living a life of leisure at Saddlerock in Malibu :)

"Cristof has been such a pleasure. Every time I ride him, I love him even more. I don't think I could imagine a more perfect horse for me. He's amazingly gentle and so intelligent. He's always up for anything, he loves to be ridden whether it be in the arena or on the trail. He even loves going in the water! He's a treasure and I feel so lucky to have found him. Thank you so much Janna for making it possible to have this amazing horse in my life. I couldn't be happier!"
Thanks Janna! -Reichel
Update 4 years later...Hi Janna,I have been following your website for years and always hoped to own one of your horses. Less than a year ago, with luck and timing, I was able to purchase one of your horses that you once had for sale. I remembered him from your website, so when his owner reluctantly put him up for sale, I jumped at the chance. I am now the proud owner of Cristof and a first time Friesian owner. He is everything I ever dreamed of! He is so smart, kind, silly and fun. I never imagined to find a horse so well suited for me. He is always up for anything whether it's the arena, trail, or beach. He never hesitates to jump in my trailer for our next adventure. I just wanted to let you know he is in great hands and very loved! I attached some pictures from our adventures.

Hi Janna,

Sahara named him Hades: she is a history and French double major and has always loved mythology- especially Greek mythology. In explaining the name she said, Hades is god of the underworld, which includes both the Elysian Fields and Tarterus. She is reminded about balance, and finding balance. Hades (the Friesian) is so masculine, (not cute- but compelling and bold looking) but not in a macho way- in a commanding, loyal and loving way. Like a lord or nobleman- or Greek god! Hades.  She loves him so much-I've got a lot going on right now, but no matter. I am committed! And really love him too.  We are very excited about Hades and learning all about him, his care and riding!  At some point, I'd love to learn ground work and study with a trainer. (later on of course- slow and easy does it)! Thanks again,

Update... Hi Janna. Aren't they cute! Love the tongue!  We stopped by the barn today to visit Hades and bring apples. He was a love!

Update... Hi Janna, Dr. Leslie was wonderful and I got a chance to see how a vet check is performed. He was SO incredibly good about everything- being poked and prodded. Such a gentleman! He was a marvel to behold! She was extremely impressed with him. It was great!Of course we knew he would pass with flying colors! He is such an amazing horse. We LOVE Macho/Hades more with every visit (though Sahara is in Egypt now, I am sure she agrees). I have a lesson with Alyssa on Friday .
Update... I love riding him and see him everyday. He's in great health- Hades has turned into an absolute love bug. Last week when I was lunging him in the round pen, I went out for a moment to remove his poop and when I returned, he had picked up the lunge whip, brought it to me and went back to the rail. When he sees me he calls out and sets off the whole ranch. Then lines up to the side for his halter. Waits to be invited to walk with me and is a perfect gentleman. He's kiss trained. We play all kinds of silly games we've made up and his inner horse is really shinning.
See you soon, Elisabeth

Nico made it home fine! Thanks again.

I cannot even tell you how much I am enjoying my filly! It's crazy to me, growing up on Saddlebreds, how calm this breed is! She's not afraid of hardly anything and when she is, she walks really slow and snorts, but she will always keep going if I ask her to. She's so trusting and such a sweetheart. She's a joy to handle, loves having her mane brushed, and even loves baths! I've never owned a horse who didn't flip out at the sight of water and Wendy was just delighted with it! She really is so brave and so intelligent for her age. I'm already teaching her how to nod on command and she'll come when called, walk when asked, and whoa at the word. Next I'm working on trotting and cantering on command then it's off to bowing and shaking.
She took so quickly to me, too! My roommate who also has a horse at Wendy's stables has let her out to play on several occasions and Wendy never reacts when Sally walks away but when I walk away she tries to jump the fence to join me! It's so adorable. Everyone who has seen us together has commented how Wendy really seems to know I'm her mom already!
She is such a people-horse and follows me around like a puppy. I could not be more smitten with her!

Update...
Wendy Wins Halloween Costume Class!!! ....show how magnificent she looked. her mane had snowy branches braided in it and a silver bird perched near her withers. Her tail also had silver glittery branches and leaves braided in it and she wore a garland around her neck. No one could believe that she's just a year and a half and patiently stood around for four hours while I groomed and decorated her!
Yesterday my children's book was finally released so I am officially a published author!....go to www.littlegabbybooks.com  for more info and please tell anyone you know with children that you know the author in Dallas! All purchases go towards me keeping Wendy! As of today it's only available through the authorhouse.com bookstore but in 2-3 weeks it'll be available at amazon.com, target.com, bookstop.com and barnesandnoble.com.

I continue to thank BSF for finding this incredible horse!

Update... The filly I purchased from you in May of 2008, Wendy, is three years old now and has been at the trainer for two months. I rode her today for the first time and thought I would share some of the pictures with you! She was absolutely phenomenal. I cannot believe what a calm disposition she has. I swear, she acts more mature than most of the horses I've ever ridden! I hear that's a Friesian thing. :) I could not love this mare anymore!!!

Update...5 years later... Wendy is doing famously! She broke 16 hands. She's five years old now. I literally had half a dozen people run up to me at the stables yesterday, raving about how exquisite she looks under saddle. It's really a shame I don't enjoy showing, because she would win everything down here! People literally beg me to sell her to them but I plan to treasure her for all of her days.
