This Pregnant Mare is On Her Way to Louisiana for Laura:)
We are so happy with her. She is so gentle and follows you around the pasture like a puppy dog. She is pregnant and hopefully if everything goes well will have a foal in late June. We saw a songram on the baby yesterday. Never seeing one of my own children it was really exciting. We will let you know how things develop.
Love, Laura and Mike in Louisiana
Update Oct 27...................
Dear Janna
We renamed Colata "Jolie"...it is French for "pretty". She is wonderful. We love her. She is the most beautiful horse I have ever seen. She is the sweetest horse I have ever been around and my trainer said she has the biggest heart of any Mare she has ever been around. She has been around horses all her life and has been training them for 20 years.
Thanks!
Laura in LA |

Congrats to Lorna in NM in her 2nd friesian from BSF:)
Hi Janna
Rosalini has arrived and is doing fine. She is gorgeous, healthy, alert and has a big appetite. She and Nico hit it off immediately like they have been friends forever with no posturing of any sort. I'm hoping to ride her by Sunday giving her a couple days to get used to the sights and sounds of the country here outside of Santa Fe. I have received her papers as well so all is good! Thanks for the guidance as usual...
Lorna in N.M.
Hi Janna
Thought I'd send a couple pics - one of Rosalini and me in the heaviest snowfall in the history of weather tracking for Santa Fe! 30 inches with up to 4 more overnight tonight. Rosie was stabled and when I let her out in it with me she just had a ball - just like a little kid playing in the snow. Thought you might want to see how she is faring - still pregnant and healthy!

Janis in Tenn --Congrats on your 1st Friesian:)
Hi Janna,
Wibo is fine...he's completely taken over the barn. Everyone loves him! I appreciate all the input you have given me!
Happy Holidays!

Hi Janna,
Wibo, (barn name is ("Redondo"), is doing quite well. We have an incredible bond already. He talks to me! Before this heat wave hit I was riding him daily in the park (10 minutes away), or on my farm (150 acres). He is willing, and always up for a ride. He is an easy keeper, for sure. (spoiled rotten). He always gets so much attention from other riders in the park. His incredible sweet, friendly, and loving nature far outweigh being a bit jumpy.
All in all he is wonderful, and I absolutely love him dearly!
I am planning on buying another Friesian. Do you still have the same Dutch trainer? (Berend, I think?) I check in with your site at least weekly!
Thanks so much Janna,
Janis in Tenn |

Going to Mexico for Roberto!!!
......................1 year after purchase
Hi Janna,
Vince, is doing great. He is taking the summer heat better than I thought (in Mexico), well I have him with a misted fan, cause it get really really hot in here—like Pheonix Az but more humid. He is getting really really big, I think he´s almost the size of my 2 year old and he is a big guy also. The way he is going he will probably reach 17 hands.
Bye,
Roberto in Mexico
Hello, Janna
Vince (Vengador—as I call him cause he is avenging the too soon death of my last friesian stallion ) is growing into a huge and beautiful colt.

Janna,
Hello. He is doing great, becoming stronger in hind end and the front is thickening up. Altitude does not get to him anymore. He loves to play, with everyone. He is fantastic-- he really is a charmer. Thanks for the great pick.
There are THREE BSF at our barn now. And I saw two more at Destiny Ranch barn, all beautiful. Thanks so much all your BSF are wonderful.
Thanks so much.

Congrats to Diane in Florida!!!
Hi Janna,
The hauler is wonderful. He calls every day with an update. I can't wait, it's really been kind of surreal waiting this week. He's the talk of the stables and he's not even here yet. Gary says Pharaoh follows him around and has a great personality and really a people horse. He says he loves attention. It sounds like I have exactly what I have dreamed of. Now I just need my horse lol. Tomorrow...
Diane in Fla
My boy is finally here and he's absolutely beautiful!!! The hauler was outstanding and took such good care of Pharaoh. I can tell he likes me already!! I brushed him and he kept checking me out. He followed me when I walked away. The trainer thought he was a sweetie. I couldn't be happier!!!! This is going to be one spoiled horse. The Hauler gave me the other halter, thank you!
Thanks for everything! I don't want anyone to pinch me because I think I'm in a dream, a Friesian dream!
Diane in Fla
Hi Janna, He is my pride and joy and thank you so much for your efforts in getting him to us.
I watched your web site for almost a year before my husband said I
could finally get a Friesian. There was never any doubt that Black
Sterling Friesian's was where I was going to find my dream. Pharaoh
is 19 months now and growing so fast I can almost see it. I'm
hoping before too long I can talk my husband into a mate for
Pharaoh. Until then, I watch daily and thank you from the bottom of
my heart.
Pharaoh is learning so much, he's quite the charmer. I just wanted you to know that he is a happy boy, I should say yearling. He will kiss for a carrot and meets me at the gate every afternoon. I'm not sure what path we'll take yet, but he's learning so fast we have a lot of options. Right now he's just being a horse that is much loved.
Percy and Diane in Fla

Hi Jana,
I've spent the summer doing his scrapbook. He is getting big! He's spoiled rotten!! I visit him everyday and being a teacher, I've enjoyed the summer with him. He gets carrots, cookies and peppermints (in that order) every day. I'm the proudest person on this earth I think. He does learn fast and I watch him play in the pasture tossing his dish around until my belly aches from laughing. I got him a ball, but he likes his dish better. Most days I have a chair and I sit and talk to him while he munches on hay. It's so hot here in FL now he has to come in during the afternoon.
I watch your site all day to see who's coming and going. One of these days he'll need a mate.
Thanks for checking on him, that means a lot!!
Pharaoh and Diane |

9th Friesian from BSF going to Micaela in Mass. Micaela--you are buying all our BEST horses!!
Hi Janna
My name is Lisa, I am the barn manager for Micaela at Pine Feather Farm in Acton MA. All of the horses here are wonderful. Lineke has settled in nicely, she is turned out every day with Dorette, Frangelica, and Famke. Lineke and Famke are the best of friends and spend the days grooming each other out in the pasture. Everyone else is just great. Micaela really loves Kosmo. She has been riding him the most. We trail ride alot with Frangelica and Dorette at least once a week. Thank you and I hope I get to work with you in the future!

Congrats to Debbi and Ken in Ariz. on their 2nd Friesian from BSF!
Hi Janna,
Friesians truly are remarkable horses!! Tobias and Chase are everything we had hoped for and more!!! The first day in their new home we let them relax in the big round pen. Of course I played "beauty parlor" , braiding their manes, grooming etc. While doing this the big trash truck came through the ranch, clanking and banging--neither of the boys paid any attention. Then the train which comes right next to the ranch, came through, whistle blowing, clickety, clackety, cars whooshing by. I was braiding Tobias's mane with Chase standing loose next to me also, and had it been any other horses I think I would have moved away to see their reaction. Maybe they had both seen trains before--all they did was perk their heads a little and look--no big deal!! Other horses at the ranch were jumping around and they see these trains all the time!!!!
Yesterday we took the boys on their first little trail ride from the ranch. It was a drizzly, blustery day with the trees blowing, thunder and lightning in the distance--the kind of day even the best trained horses are looking for something to spook at. Not these two boys!!! They walked out down the trail like no big deal!!! Even the jumping jack rabbits leaping out of bushes did not phase them!!! Had to cut our ride short as the heavy rain and lightning was trying to catch us, but we were so impressed!!! They are an absolute delight to be around. I'm also thrilled Ken decided to get his horse now rather than waiting a year or so. It is so much fun to be able to share them together.
We will definitely take some pix and send to you. I start my lessons on Chase next week--am very excited!!
Thank you again for these very special boys!!!
Debbi in Ariz :)

Debbie in Arizona is Tobias's lucky new owner:)
Hi Janna,
Tobias and Chase arrived at the ranch this morning at 6:30. Wow, what majestic beauties they are--it takes your breath away!! And such perfect gentlemen--after 24 hours on the road they stepped quietly out of the trailer and settled right into their new home. Thank you again for all your help while we were at your stable and for coordinating the hauling, health certificates etc. We really appreciate all you do bringing these gorgeous horses to America. It is an honor to share them in our lives--thank you for helping make our dreams come true!!!!!!
Ken and Debbi

Congrats to Glori
dear janna,
I wanted to let you know just how wonderful Zoran is. His personality is perfect- there isn't a viscous bone in his body. I can tell that you and your staff put some time and effort in to making a horse with good manners. I can touch him all over. He stands in the cross ties strait. He never paws or kicks. He does not chew on his stall or on any thing else. When you turn him out he always walks a nice good distance away before he lets out any crazies. He comes in from the turn outs when he is called, even if your not holding a carrot. He is just as good in the riding ring. he listens and tries to figure out what you are asking. he stays calm and doesn't get frustrated even when he is confused about what it is that i am asking him to do. i have no doubt that he will be doing 2nd level dressage in a few months.
thank you!!!!!

Kos is Going to Mass for Micaela--as her 7th Friesian from BSF!!!
Hello Janna!
Thanks for everything!! We are awaiting Timm and Ate's arrival with great anticipation. Both Andrea and I have been riding Kosmo - he is fantastic!!! He has a great attitude and such a sweet temperament - we are all in love with him already!! He definitely loves to please and be around people! A great champion! Thank you for the blanket and cooler - what beauties!! You have been very generous with me - I appreciate all that you have done - and we love your horses immensely. In addition, we'll hit the East Coast Championships in NY state in October - and will let you know the results. And next week is the first Keur for the 2 fillies with Frangelica and Dorette - they both look like magnificent foals, at least to us, of course!!
1 month later.....................
I went to a clinic with Kosmo yesterday and he was absolutely PHENOMENAL - I love HIM and I LOVE TO RIDE HIM even more!! He is so giving and talented (in the words of the trainer) - I am going to work with her on a weekly basis, as I am progressing fast and well with a horse like Kosmo. He is a true gift!!! Timm is doing very well - He is really a big, beautiful 'teddy bear' disguised as a Friesian stallion. We all love him to death and fuss over him all the time. It took us an hour to bathe just his mane, let alone the rest. Ate' is coming along beautifully as well - Saddleseat is Andrea's area for now, as I am concentrating on Kosmo and dressage. Thank you again for all the wonderful horses you have sent our way. After 30 long years of waiting, I feel like my dream has finally come true!!
1 year later.......................................
Attached please find some winning pics at the Classic Show in Topsfield, Mass.! Thanks for all your support!

Congrats to Robin in Tenn. on this GREAT Trail/Pleasure Friesian!
He is beautiful.....I did not expect him to be that fancy...his pictures on the website do not due him justice. I am so pleased thank you so much.
Thomas is great I can't say enough good things about him......I hope to soon purchase another one so that I can have 2, so friends can ride with me.
Thomas and I had our first trail ride yesterday and he was wonderful...He IS exactly what you said he was willing, safe and fun. It is so nice for things to turn out the way that you imagine them to. So many times life is full of disappointment.
I can not tell you how much I love Thomas......I have been looking for this kind of horse for over 35 years. I am so LUCKY I found him. Or I should say you found him for me.
Thank you again.
Update 3 yrs later...
Remember me I am Marilyn's customer that bought Thomas...Hope you are well. Thomas is great. He is without a doubt my horse of a lifetime.
Robin in Tenn
