What is Black Magic?
Black Magic Friesian Performance Troupe is the collective initiative in spring 2010 of
to further pursue our Friesian goals individually, yet at times together as Black Magic. Click on the links above to read more about the partners. 
 
Anneke's Friesians/Anneke van den IJssel (just like the other Black Magic partners) is fully independent and we ride/show both on our own as well as with friends by invite on our private horses and with Black Magic, which is open to ad hoc riding with others we can share/have fun/do business with based on the event at hand.
 
How to put this in a loving way as we do respect all and wish everyone well. After many years of public service Anneke is thankful for the lessons learned and has to go her own way in and for peace. 
 
Black Magic pursues its own way of sharing and promoting the KFPS Friesian with respect and independence for all. Our core values are: having fun, training the horses, networking, being INclusive rather than exclusive, promoting the KFPS Friesian horse, doing good business, respecting everyone's autonomy, and staying away from politics and club settings to preserve and especially share the peaceful enjoyment of our lifelong passion.
 
Black Magic is thus not a club or chapter. We are individuals who believe in sharing the joy of Friesian Fever and we welcome all Friesian lovers; owners, non-owners, future owners, cross-breeders--allow our Friesians to convert to pure--regardless of registry and (non)memberships. We are all-inclusive to promote, educate on, and enjoy the Friesian breed with 100% dedication to the purebred KFPS/FHANA Friesian.

F.l.t.r. both photos: Heather Bonser with Blomke, Charlotte with Quibus, Anneke with Rudy, summer 2010.

Remco
Remco Warner van den IJssel is our 2005, 16 hands/1.63 m KFPS stb gelding, stam 111, Jorrit 363 x Anne 340 Sport, out of our mare Sanne, 2005 2nd premie champion colt. We watched & taped him being born and trained him. Remco has turned into a great guest horse over time. He is forward, kind, super comfy to ride, easy to sit, trail rides, does parades, goes to events, and has stamina. People love how smooth he rides. A fun boy and a real character. Trained by Anneke. His own page will be back up soon as part of our site overhaul.

We rode her mom and grandmother as a kid (see the Friesian Love page, click). This mare has been there, done that, from big-city parades to trail, bareback, bridleless, the works. A great beginner horse and perfect for children, that is voice command. So easy to sit, smooth, and quiet. Also fully trained by Anneke. She is in foal to our stallion Tropical Rider's Wieger for March. Her own page will be back up soon as part of our site overhaul.

Tropical Rider's Wieger
Tropical Rider's Wieger (Zeade R.S.) is our stunning 2007, 16.1 1/4 hands/1.66m, stam 2, Teade 392 sport x Rypke 321 foalbook stallion, 2nd premie reserve champion as a colt, to be represented for ster with IBOP. He is well rounded in training by Anneke (trail, traffic, parades, arena, events, and more) and is easy to work with, HOWEVER, if you bounce on him he will not take kindly to it so you have to be a more advanced rider. He is loved by many not surprisingly with his handsome looks.

Anneke saddle broke her spring 2011. She is forward, smooth gaits, flexible, a quick study, and incredibly talented but also sensitive and quite spirited. We enjoy her and will be developing her sport ability, ride in the arena and large conditioning pasture, and will soon introduce her to trail riding. She is only available for advanced riders at this time who have experience with young horses. Her own page will be back up soon as part of our site overhaul.
