Anneke's Friesians' Farm News
5-Year Anniversary!
It's been
5 years this March, since we moved to our farm. At the time we
didn't think we'd last a week! Now we are under construction for
expansion. Here's a joke that cracked us up. A
Friesian farmer wins the lottery and is asked how he will spend the
money. 'I love my work and will just keep on farming until the money runs out.'

Texas KFPS/FHANA Keuring
In Denton
TX north of DFW, Friday September 23. Although the day did not bring
us what we all hope for at a keuring, it did give us great
inspiration and we had a good time. Remco was good on movement but
not good enough on exterior and became a studbook gelding at
1.63m/16 hands. He's the same great riding horse to us.
Wieger
was great on exterior and has grown so much, now standing at 16.1
hands/1.66m, but did not at all show his walk due to nervousness and
although vastly improved since last year he was still not good
enough in trot for keuring standards but he can do it and was again
to uptight.
We will show him again next
year at age 5 for ster as well as in the IBOP saddle test after
another year of growing up. We enjoy
the sport aspect much more than breeding and keurings and the IBOP
will be our new challenge.
Remco and
Wieger's keuring photos will be posted soon.

Introducing Tropical
Rider's Wieger
For many years we heard about Tropical Rider and saw their ads but
had not investigated it. Our paths crossed and we are delighted to
be supporters of and models for Tropical Rider as well as announce
our stallion Wieger's new name: Tropical Rider's
Wieger with Tropical Rider as Wieger's official sponsor.
We work
together not just because Wieger has longstanding, close ties with
Tropical Rider but also because Tropical Rider's summer & winter
equestrian/dressage clothing is:
-
proven to be a favorite of the Friesian & dressage community;
-
made
from top-of-the-line materials for all weather;
-
superbly comfortable;
-
made
to fit and if needed to order;
-
and
gives you long-lasting quality making you look good and feel
great time and again.
We can personally attest to this with our TR wardrobe; both from personal experience and
from the many accounts from Friesian friends we have heard over the
years.
We thank Tropical Rider for supporting us and wholeheartedly promote
their products: at our home, at events, through our clinics,
whenever you will ask us, and with special $25 gift certificates
when you join Anneke's Friesians.

Rodeo Fun Texas

church practice. Watch for a Friesian presence at the UPRA November
2011 charity ride and the UPRA season opening in March 8, 9, 10, 2012 at the Sulphur Springs Civic Center.

Friesians! We are delighted to see our successful matches doing so
well in many places.
