Quick Facts

The Friesian (also Frisian) is a horse breed originating in Friesland, a province of the Netherlands. Although the breed's conformation resembles that of a light draft horse, Friesians are graceful and nimble for their size. During the Middle Ages, it is believed that the ancestors of Friesian horses were in great demand as war horses throughout continental Europe.

Mares

Ninny - Cataraqui E'Owyn

2003 Black Welsh Cob D
 

Sire:  Acheron Splash of Magic
Dam: Acheron Arwen

 

Reg'd:   WP&CSA
Height: 13.3hh

 

Ninny is a little treasure.  I had visions of producing a pony dressage type with Wizz, and our expectations were far exceeded with her first foal, Zahara, who floats when she moves, and already taken two champions in hand, against strong company.  Tho i think Zahara is going to exceed pony height, as she was almost mums height at 12mths old.  Ninny is a big mover under saddle, and can go all day, typical of the welshies. Ninny is in foal again to Wizz.  She is a valuable member of our breeding program.

Afke Rose

2005 Black Baroque Style Friesian Warmblood
 
Sire:   Henri Friso Royal Avalon (Friesian)
Dam:  Minke Rose  (Friesian Warmblood)
 
Reg'd:  AFWHS
Height: 15.2hh
 
Afke Rose is the 2nd foal for our beloved Minke Rose.  She has lovely movement, and stunning looks.  Her first foal was sired by Wizz and is a true fairytale baroque style, loaded with curls. 
 
Afke was first broken in just before EI hit, and only had one dressage competition with a 65%, so didnt have time to establish her work when we put her in foal.  She is just recommencing work under saddle, and is showing much promise and the lovely quiet nature that Friesians are famous for. 
 
She will rejoin the Broodmares in the future.

La Querencia Nutmeg

2001 Bay Pony X Friesian
 
Sire   Othello S  (Friesian)
Dam  Millie (Pony)
 
Reg'd:  AFWHS
Height: 13.3hh
 
I first saw Meggie at the Andalusian Nationals at SIEC in Sydney a few years ago. She was in the Exhibition Class doing a Tandem Dressage with a young friesian mare, Klaske, as the front horse.  They were both babies, and the performance was breathtaking. In December 2008 she came up for sale, so we snapped her up before Davyd & Christina of La Querencia Stud could change thier minds. 
 
Meggie was trained in all things Classical by AlaCastina SWH, and was used as a school horse and gave demonstrations, in hand, in harness, under saddle, in long reins, and she just loves to perform to an audience, often adding her own touches and bowing to her crowd. 
 
After her foal is weaned, my daughter, Cass, is going to pick up Meggies performance career with Pony Dressage under the instruction of AlaCastina SWH.

Eelkje fan it Huningspaed(imp)

Pure Friesian 2001 StudBook Imp Ned
3rd Premie
 

Sire: Ulke 338
Dam: Berdine Van Hoeve SchoonZicht

 

Reg'd:    FPS & AFHS
Height:  16hh

 

Itchie is a stunning Baroque Style mare by the famous Dutch Friesian Stallion, Ulke 338, who excells in harness.   

 

She consistently produces quality foals.  Although only lightly campaigned in dressage, she came home with convincing scores of 65-70% for her first competition.  She is absolutely bombproof under saddle, often giving pony rides to visitors to the stud.  Her half brother, also sired by Ulke, Jacana TK, of TashKent Friesians, is now turning heads with impressive dressage performances. 

 

An absolute dream to handle in all ways, she passes these traits and more onto her progeny.  To us, she is also the perfect Broodmare.
