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.

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.
