Summer 2010.	Public outing at the SS Civic Center, July 12, 2011. Rider Anneke is 5'8".
		Just for fun.

Great traveler, great health, and easy to handle.

First time out on trail July 3, 2011.

Great trail stamina and agility, we trail ride regularly.

Name: Margriet (registered name: Maggie).

Age: 2004, 8 year old KFPS/FHANA mare with lots of hair and the whole package; breed typical, steady temperament for trail & family events, and a wonderful dressage talent with great power. Not a deadhead but also level headed.

Pedigree: Stam 49, Feitse 293 pref x Bendert 281 x Ids 300 x Tsjalling 235, nice mare line of stb x ster x ster double pref x ster x ster, 5.08% inbr coeff. 2nd premie as a filly, stb at 5 but she did not show her power of the gaits then at all (per her scores that was where she lost out) and she sure has that. She should be represented for what we believe should be 3rd premie studbook. Ster is probably stretching it but she's super nice!

Training: see list below.

Looks & details: Very breed typical, loving and people friendly as a family horse, not marish, and great show talent. Big eyes, pretty face, curvy ears, lots of hair! Mane below her shoulders, thick tail, feathers, and long forelock. Well put together and lots of power from behind. Easy to sit, easy to move forward as well as keep with you. Easy in herd setting. 1.58m./15.2 hands. Looks great with trainer Anneke at 5'8", see photo above. She grew up in a cold climate, and now does great in a hot climate.

Care: All up to date on shots, farrier, dental, deworming (we do regular fecals to take out the guess work), Coggins, the works. Goes barefoot: great feet.

Fun facts: fabulous lesson & guest horse, bonds well with her handler/trainer. We put anyone on her. Chicken/cat/dog trained. Good with kids and even therapeutic-style rides.

Location: at our home in N.E. Texas.
