Hi Janna, Unloading went great. He is home. He is settling in. We have decided to call his Brace. Thanks so much for making the transaction so quick and easy, you can rest assured that he will have a great home. Hi Janna!!! He's doing so awesome! Last night he was very relaxed and rolled a few times in the round pen. He was happy in his stall/coral, eating and drinking a lot. He really likes people! Sooo friendly. We are in love with him! It was also awesome to meet you. You are great! Thank you! I would love so much to ride with you very soon! :) Going to shows would also be so fun!! I just love Aaron so much - he is so gentle and kind. Thank you! Katie and Ken in Sacramento |

Carla in NJ --- Congrats on this sweet boy! Hi Janna,He is everything I thought he would be and so much more. He is much more beautiful in person that in photos. I could not be more thrilled. And he has such a wonderful personality. Cannot wait to get to the barn this morning. Everyone was taken with him. But I guess I am not telling you anything that you didn't already know about him! I cannot thank you enough for him.He is so lovely and a joy to handle. Had his feet done and he was really good for the blacksmith. Am more impressed with him everyday.
Update... Hi Janna, Pieter is doing great and such a lovely guy with a winning personality. Everyone in the barn finds him to be very charming! Even those who were Friesian skeptics. Shown him a few times and he has done very well.Taking him tomorrow on an outing to the Foundation in Southern Pines for some trail riding. Only his second trip there but he enjoyed the first one. 2 years later... Hi Janna, Just had to tell you that this weekend at the NCDCTA championships Pieter won Reserve Champion at Intro with me and Reserve Champion at Training with his Trainer. Thought you would appreciate how well he was doing. He is such a lovely fellow! Update .... He had a good year showing this year. Moved up to 3rd level. Won HOY 3rd level at Jr/YG rider NCDCTA. Just such a good guy! Love him more each passing day! -Carla in NJ |

Congrats to Ken in Idaho!! 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 |

"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. Best, Vanessa in California |

Congrats to Elisabeth and her daughter, Sahara, who have just returned from Ethiopia 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 |
