Ramske - SOLD Friesian Ramske - Sold Congrats to Kelly in Colorado on this Schoolmaster

Ramske is here, and he's the sweetest big boy!  I can't believe how calm and easy going he is for being in new surroundings!  I'm in heaven!
Ramske is doing great, I'm totally in love with him! He is the talk of the barn, and already known for what a sweetheart and beauty he is. He's such a Mercedes, and I'm still kind of a Buick! He's being very patient and kind to his new mommy!

Just a quick update on my new best friend! Ramske is the most amazing horse, such a pleasure to ride, and pure joy to be around. He's got the best manners with horses AND people of any horse in the barn! He'll be showing in the "Dressage at the Peak" show in May, here at our event center. I just know he'll blow the other competition away!! I want to thank you again for making it such a pleasure to do business with you. Everyone tells me how lucky I was to get such a great horse on line, sight unseen, but honestly, I didn't have any doubt whatsoever. Not only are you knowledgeable and reliable, but the obvious passion and enthusiasm you have for Friesians made me confident in my choice of whom to buy from. I still plan to fly out one day and meet you and take a tour of your stables. Until then, Ramske and I will continue to train and enjoy our rides together! He's truly the BEST! Many thanks again, and Happy Trails!

Update...
Oh ya, Ramske, the BSF at my trainer's barn, last weekend, won two 1st place ribbons and a reserve. I heard today that he looked really awesome. He beat a lot of top warmbloods in the area. BSF's are tearing up Colorado! :)

One Year Later...
Ramske is doing fantastic! Such a willing, kind and loving partner with perfect manners and no vices whatsoever! Oh, he's so dignified!  I've got him at a barn in Castle Rock right now with a trainer, Sarah Dodge. That's where Michelle is, who bought Brecht Ana and Wisse from you( who are doing very well also!). It's been hot lately, but after his workout we go on a little trail ride to cool down and he's such a good boy! Sarah showed him in April at Dressage in the Rockies and scored a 68% in first level! I'm enjoying my sweet boy and riding as much as possible!

UPDATE...
Ramske is doing so well and is still the kindest most gentle 
horse.  He's amazing to ride - eager and willing and always wanting to
please and get it right.  My trainer has had him doing half pass and 
passage lately and he's shown at some local shows scoring a 68 and 71.
His first show was two firsts and two seconds.  My big boy loves 
being outside on a long trail ride too, and is always a perfect 
gentleman. His health is consistently stellar...  I can't thank you enough for
such a wonderful horse, friend and partner.  He's the love of my life and 
we look forward to many more happy years together!  This is a picture
of us with his birthday "cake".   When I look for my next Friesians, 
I won't go anywhere but Black Sterling Friesians and Janna and family.

Update...
We are both doing very well and happy at our new home on forty acres!I just had to be with him every day and have been so happy taking care of him and riding himwhenever I want, even hacking around the property and getting him used to his newer surroundings.He is super healthy, and absolutely loves being out in the pastures grazing. Who would have thought my husband, who is NOT a horse person likes doing night check with me every night, filling the boy's water buckets and giving them treats and loving pats while saying goodnight!!??

I just can't say enough wonderful things about BSF, and doing business with you.  I have seen some nightmare situations, and I'm so thankful I chose to work with you.  I'm forever grateful!!  Please come see us in Colorado if you're ever traveling in the area!  I'm itching to add another Friesian to my barn,so I'll definitely be in touch with you in the near future!

Zorro H. - SOLD Friesian Zorro H. - Sold Headed to Colorado for Grand Prix Rider, Susan!
Hi Janna.

  I LOVE Zorro.  He thinks he is a stallion already!!!!  The day he arrived, my youngest son was hit head on by a drunk driver and I have lived in the hospital with my son until a few days ago.  So, I never really got to play with Zorro until now.  My son will be OK but it was very scarey for all of us.  Anyway, I am making friends with Zorro and what a mover!!!! 
I want to thank you very much. 

2 months later...
My new little pony is doing so well!!!!  I ponied him on a trail today at the trot and canter and he was fantastic.  I have him out with the herd now and they have him thinking like a gelding instead of a bratty stud colt that he thought he was!!!! 

Sue in Colorado

 

Aalf - SOLD Friesian Aalf - Sold

Janna: 
I want to thank you, Barend, Ron, and Julia for being so helpful and accommodating.

 Aalfie is the perfect horse for me and I would never have found him without you. 
Thank you also for keeping him for those two months while we got his paddock and pasture ready.  It was fantastic to have Barend for lessons during that time.  After 40 years, I needed a refresher! 
Julia was a great help with things like bathing, lounging, and explaining a lot of things.  

Aalfie and I will have many happy years together, and we owe it all to you!

Boonse - SOLD Friesian Boonse - Sold Sold to Virginia

Boonse has stolen our hearts! We adore him! He is so gorgeous, we can't stop staring at him. When he runs around his pasture it just takes our breath away. Our neighbors tell us that they are mesmerized by him. Not only is he stunning, but he has the most wonderful temperament. He is so sweet and responsive to anything asked of him. The more we play with him the more things we find he can do. He even "smiles" on cue. He really wants to please us. We really love him showing us affection, he rubs on us like a cat. A friend that is an experienced horseman rode him and said he couldn't believe that he is only four years old, because he is so well trained. It amazes us that he prefers the company of people to other horses. He runs to greet us, and even though he has only been with us a short time he acts like he has known us all of his life. He follows us everywhere we go. He had his first Vet check here and he was a perfect gentleman. Our Vet was very impressed with the thorough pre-purchase exam that you provided. I must admit that we were a little nervous about buying a horse that we had never seen. Boonse is everything you said and more. You have been wonderful to deal with, I appreciate your kindness, patience and honesty.

You are so accessible and easy to talk to, you really know these horses. I would encourage anyone looking for a superb Friesian horse to contact you. I have been telling anyone interested about your site. You definitely made my dream come true! I hope to add another one someday, and I will be buying that one from you too.
Thanks again,
Melissa in Rockville, Virginia

Orion - SOLD Friesian Orion - Sold Jayne Will be Enjoying this INCREDIBLE Boy:)

Dear Janna and Barend,
  
Orion is a dream to ride, yes I am getting braver, Barend! I have let a child and teen ride him and they had stars in their eyes. He is everything I wanted in a horse and more  very willing, kind and patient. He winnies when he sees me and is  affectionate. Thank you very much for helping me realize my dream. I am one lucky person!

i month later...

Orion continues to be the horse I have always wanted. He winnies whenever he sees me. He is kind and patient with me even when I get nervous. His movement is beautiful and forward. My stable friends have popped on him and go "Wow! You have such a wonderful horse!" Thank you!

Rolf - SOLD Friesian Rolf - Sold Sold to Conn

3 years later.... Rolf-----My Mystical

I just love my boy so very much. 
I want you to know that ---you did a great thing, selling this horse to me.  And I did a great thing buying him from you. 

He has turned out to be my very best partner.  I do Parelli with him, and we are working on level 2.  He is such an incredible horse, and so smart, and willing to do anything I ask of him.  He is a very happy horse, and loves people so much.  He especially loves little children, and has such a kind heart.  Everyone who meets Mystic is so amazed at how beautiful he is, and when they get past his spectaculer looks they are also amazed at how sweet and gentle he is.  But I know that you have heard this story so very often, just in different words, it is so true though Janna, the Friesian horse is so incredible. Here is a picture of Mystic and my daughter. 
   Janna, I recommend your barn to any one who asks me about how to buy a horse like Mystic.  There are not many of his kind around here.  You were so nice to me and so informative. 

I will never forget how you made my beautiful dream of owning a Friesian,  come true.  Thank you again and again Janna, and all the best to you and your magical Friesians.

Ayla Nieske - SOLD Friesian Ayla Nieske - Sold This GORGEOUS Sweet Gal is Headed to Canada for Carmen

I hope that the competition in St. Louis went well for you.  I'm sure BSF won everything.  :)
Just to let you know Ayla arrived safe and sound.   I was absolutely awe struck when she got off the trailer.   She is a very sweet girl and is settling in nicely.  She even comes to her name when I call for her.  Her and my yearling are getting along great.   Thank for my beautiful girl.

Congratulations on all your wins.  That is great.Ayla is a drop dead gorgeous girl.  She is very loving.  For all the miles she has put on in the last 2 months and varying temperatures, she is doing very well adjusting.   thanks again.

Ayla is doing well and we love her to death…Hank in canada

Like I said before we love her.  For being a big girl she is a very elegant horse and very much a lady.  And she is getting comfortable here that her personality is coming out now.  We find it funny that she recognizes our truck as we are driving past the field and will come running in.  Yet that road has lots of vehicles that drive by and she only runs in for our truck.  What a very smart girl.  She hasn't quite figured out my car, but if I stop on the road and say hi, she trys to beat me into the yard.

Elle - SOLD Friesian Elle - Sold Congrats to Sheri in Florida!


Thanks for everything, you've been great!

Update...
He is absolutely beautiful and very inquisitive. His energy is very loving. He already knows my voice but of course I spent about 6 hrs with him in the barn bathing him and loving him up. I think he keeps looking for another horse or horses. I get my 1st lesson on him today. Yea!!!!! Thanks so much for a lovely horse. You have very good taste. Right now Elle is a superstar at our barn. He had a busy day with so many of my friends coming to see him. Mucho carrots and apples made a very happy horse yesterday. He is big and beautiful. This morning he had a bath and he was a gentleman about it. Thanks you for our beautiful new addition.  He is adjusting great and seems very happy when we are with him in the barn or outside. He follows us everywhere. 

5 months later...
I was just on your website and order some bridles for my horses. I bought Elle from you in August. What a great horse and such a personality.  He truly has been a pleasure.

Update...

Elle is great.  A sweet and wonderful horses.  We took him to the mountains last summer and he was wonderful.  He is now going back to dressage training.
Thanks-Sherie in FLA

 

JORK - SOLD Friesian JORK - Sold Congrats to Kathleen in Wash on her 2nd Friesian from BSF!

Hi Janna, I want to thank you again for finding such exquisite animals! I didn't really know how lucky I was! Your horses are definitely a different class of Friesian - WOW! Thank you for providing such fabulous horses! Thank you, thank you, thank you....
The beautiful blankets arrived today - super deluxe...! Anyway, wanted to thank you for the great blankets - they are fabulous!
Update... Jork is naturally balanced. He is forward to very light aids (no spurs required!), and has a real spark in his eyes! And, if he happens to see a pretty girl (or gelding. he doesn't care), his withers grow and he really puts on a show. -- everyone thinks he is absolutely beautiful.
Update... So - I'm still crazy about my boys! I hope you all continue to be safe, and I know many of your customers and friends are thinking about you during these terrible fires.
Update..... both boys make good use of their BSF cooler (which is also gorgeous), so everyone knows where they came from! ... he is a very sweet, lovable boy. Jork has just taken off - watch out - he can do it all! During this last clinic, we did half-pass for the first time. He felt like he has done it for years. Dr. Heuschmann refers to horses like Jork as having their "mind to the ground" which I believe means that they just totally trust and comply with their rider. It's a remarkable feeling. As always Janna, I am so appreciative that you found these wonderful horses for me. Most importantly, both boys seem very happy. I cannot imagine my life without them. Thank you!
Kathleen in Washington

Rialto - SOLD Friesian Rialto - Sold Rialto will Join His Half Brother in NY Soon for Proud New Owner, Marlene!

Hi Janna,
Just wanted to update you on Rialto. He is doing wonderful, we are so excited, I cannot believe how well behaved he is for such a young horse. Everyone who meets him falls in love with him, he is so smart, everyday he impresses us, my trainer is in awe on how wonderful he is, he has not done one thing wrong since the day he came off the trailer, what a gentleman. The weather has been really nice in NY so we have been able to really get him out and around, he loves it, he also got his first body clipping and he's been great about it. I can't imagine what this horse is going to be like next year, he has three great gaits, and is so willing to work (can you tell how much we enjoy him). I bet by the summer Pat (my husband) will be able to take him out on a trail ride, thats our goal.

2 years later...

YOU would not believe what Rialto looks like,  he has blossomed into such a beautiful friesian, what a good boy he is as well, he has such a personality and very very safe, he is unbelievable in his manners as well, he loads on and off trailers and behaves so well off the property, we have been doing alot of clinics with him and have gotten really good response from the clinicians that we have worked with, they love him.  His canter is really nice to ride, he really has become so balanced, and he has just enough of a gas pedal, he is wonderful in the park out on trails, very bomb proof, he hardly ever spooks ever, it doesnt matter what the weather is he comes out the same every day really a joy to work with and around, he loads clips baths all with the best manners,  I must tell you my husband and I are on your website all the time because you never know if the time is right for a third friesian, and we dont want to miss the opportunity if it comes across.  Looking forward to doing business with you again in the future.
Marlene and Pat in NY
