SELECTING YOUR FRIESIAN HORSE

TEMPERAMENT - First and foremost look into the eyes of the horse. Does she/he show a soft, curious look with large, round eyes, or does it have small and/or narrow eyes?

CONFORMATION - Is the forehand proportionate to the hindquarter? Is the leg length proportionate to the body depth? Is the length of the neck proportionate to length of the back? Is the length of the head proportionate to length of the neck? Is the overall bone and substance, such as size of hooves, proportionate to the body mass?


MOVEMENT - View the horse not ridden and/or tacked up to examine its natural movement. Does the horse appear relaxed with a natural balance in all movements?

WALK - Is the walk free and loose as opposed to short and tight?

STRIDE - Is hock action proportionate to knee action? Do the shoulders move as freely as the knees and hocks (not more or less)? Look for the degree of suspension and animation. More is better.

TROT and CANTER - In free movement, is the length of the stride from the hindquarter equal to the length of the forehand stride? Does the horse have natural extension in both trot and canter? How freely does the horse move in the canter? Is there a 3-beat canter? Does the horse have a natural 'uphill' forward movement with natural 'swing' to its back?

TRAINING LEVEL - A properly schooled horse can correctly demonstrate all of the movements required for the performance or competition level at which it is being sold.

As he is my only horse right now he does not let me out of his sight until bed time. Thank you again for helping me find the Friesian I have dreamed of having." - Ms. C.R. - (USA)


"Just a quick line to keep you informed about M. She has been with me for about six weeks now and it seems as though I have had her forever. She really is the most wonderful character, very kind and calm. She has not put a foot wrong since she arrived, and has already given me an enormous amount of pleasure. Everyone who has met her thinks that she is very special, beautiful and kind, and so she has made lots of friends and admirers. If you have any contact with her old owners, please let them know that she is much loved! Well thank you again for finding me such a kind and trustworthy horse. I will let you know how things progress. With very warm wishes to you both." - Ms. W.M. - (United Kingdom)


"All I can say is OH MY G..!!!! He is perfect!! A. is gorgeous!! He was
a little freaked out at first running around in circles checking out his new
home! I think he was so excited to see other horses in a farm situation he
could not help himself!! After a while I put him in a big arena so he could
run around! He was amazing! He is definitely what you said! WE will ride him Sunday! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! We will be buying more and I have everyone hooked at our barn! Thanks again." - Ms. K.D. - (USA)


"I wanted to thank you so much for A.! He arrived late this morning. He is just absolutely wonderful! He settled in right away. He is eating and drinking very well, especially eating:-) He does look like he's lost some weight through his trip, but he's got as much hay as he wants, and is gradually starting on his grain, so he should gain it back quickly. He is so sweet and friendly. Everybody at the barn already loves him. He's been showing everyone how well he does the Spanish Walk, all on his own! Thanks again" - Ms. A.K. - (USA)


"A. has arrived. He came off the box and was a perfect gent. He had his blanket on and looks good. He went into his box and went straight for the hay net. … He likes his food. BUT CAN I JUST SAY AGAIN THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP. Talk soon."
Ms. L.R. - (United Kingdom)


"I wanted to thank you for all your hospitality while we were in your lovely country. I sure am missing your delicious coffee! Thanks so much for all your hard work and help as well as being the best chauffeur's we could ask for. I'll be getting my pictures back on Tuesday and can't wait to show them off. Take care. - Mrs. N.C. - (USA)


"You sent us a very beautiful Colt. J. has indeed the incredible movement as you described. Today we turned him out with our Hannoverian gelding and they have the time of their life! Thanks again." - E. Family - (Germany)


"Just wanted to let you know right away...W. went to the keuring today and she is now a 1st premie star mare!!! Can you believe it??? She was asked to please come back for provisional Model mare. The crowd was crazy over her. Most everyone who saw her said that she was the most beautiful friesian mare that they have ever seen. The judges announced to the crowd that was nearly a "perfect friesian". They said that she was very muscled and had great manes and tail (her tail drags the ground) and her mane is past her elbows. That she was very very supple and had excellent use of her back end and very fine front action. They said that she was a very proud mare and a great specimen of the breed. All that I can say now to you both, is Thank so much." - Mrs. M.B. - (USA)


"I was just wondering what a horse like this goes for. We have had such a wonderful experience with P. that I am starting to think about my next horse. I am not ready yet, but would like to get an idea of what I should be looking to spend. Take care." - Mr. K.B. - (USA)


"Thank you very much for finding us 'Our Friesian'. Have to admit I was a bit skeptically at first, but Y. is really a quality horse. I am very happy I could buy him at such a good price!" - Mr. M.M. - (Holland)
