Most of these

carriage importer, trader, and expert, as well as a driver/trainer

Two
authentic Friesian carriages from Holland.
E-mail.
These two
carriages are from Anneke's childhood back in The Netherlands. The dam and
grand dam of my mare were driven with these carriages for leisure
rides, weddings, and festivities. Anneke remembers the rides in them well.
They are in perfect shape, fully restored from an already good,
authentic state when they were purchased by our friends back in the
early '80s, gently used by them, and they have been stored carefully
and covered indoors. Sadly the owner of the carriages passed away
early 2002 and the carriages have been in storage ever since. Now
it's time to put them on the market. Both were driven pair and
single and each comes with shafts but there is only one pole that
was used interchangeably. The closed carriage fits up to 3 adults on
the back inside seat, 2 adults and 1 child in the front inside seat,
and 2 in the front. The two front wheels of the closed carriage are
still in good shape but the wood frame inside the metal hoops will
need some work at some point. All wheels have metal hoops. The asking price per carriage is 2,900 euro
plus shipping. Located in The Netherlands. Many more, detailed,
pictures available by e-mail.

The olden days-the
history of these two carriages, by Anneke.
     
Back in 1981,
I started riding Sanne's ster grand dam Petra/Pitie
(s. Ritske 272 pref) through town bareback and with a driving
bridle, because I didn't have tack yet. At the time riding
Friesians was laughed at. Here we are in our driveway. Then you
see me on my very first carriage ride with Petra in 1982, in my
old street where I grew up with the first carriage, the "Kerkbrik."
In the 3rd picture I'm riding the then 2 year old dam of my
Sanne, 1983 1st premie youth champion, later ster, Alice (s.
Lammert 260). The craze was short hair and I had just cut off
all my hair! Did I ever regret that and I haven't cut it since.
Then three
newspaper pictures: Petra with Saint Nicholas in 1984, Alice on
a wedding drive, Petra with her owner, and below the Phaeton
that was purchased shortly after the Kerkbrik, here still
unrestored. First Petra and Alice with the Phaeton at a local,
annual castle drive in 1984 (Castle Vorden), then a local town
celebration with Alice and her ster daughter Lotte later in the
'80s.
Alice and Petra
were my world in the 1980s and shaped my teenage years. The
owners told me that when I stopped coming over for Alice and
Petra they waited for me in the corner of their pasture for two
weeks! I had switched to training KWPN warmbloods for a few
years, which gave me great experience but I remained involved
with the Friesians and it's no wonder I returned to the breed
full force shortly after, because if it's not a Friesian it's
just a horse! A Thank You to my mom and dad (picture right back
in 1997 with my Sanne shortly before she left for the U.S.) and
the Beerten family for putting up with and supporting my craze
that has become my life-long passion.

Saddle
Recommendations for Friesians
True craftsmanship,
fit, and comfort for a lifetime!
-
For
custom saddles we recommend
the Levade and the new Ambassador saddle for Friesians. The Levade already
is a popular model for dressage riders. The Ambassador saddle is new on
the market and was developed specifically for the Friesian-type
back. The tree is very flat with a wider spinal clearance, and the shoulder area has
nicely "quilted"
pattern for maximum comfort.
Some of the problem areas addressed: enough clearance at the
shoulder to allow freedom of movement, panel style that conforms
to the horse's back and won't "pop up and down" at the cantle,
billeting system that follows the girth line so the saddle
doesn't slide forward, and trees that are not too curved to
cause pressure points in the lumbar area. The saddle is also
superior in rider comfort. It supports a proper seat and has
great knee rolls.

on the Levade and Ambassador saddle and for references from satisfied,
experienced dressage riders and Friesian owners.

President's Trophy 2008 and won in the FHANA Dressage

"How can I ever thank you
enough for providing me with the
BEST saddles ever for my Friesian
horses, two of which are now Saddle
Seat Friesian World Champions,
Reserve Champions, Jr. Exhibitor
Friesian World Champion, and Hunt
Seat Friesian World Reserve
Champion! The moment I saw Candace
Frazer with one of your saddles in
Topsfield, MA in 2006, I told my
trainer "This is the saddle I
have been looking for the past two
years - get it!" I now own
8-10 of your saddles and I believe
them to be the best in today's
market for the needs of Friesians.
Micaela, MA.
I just wanted to tell you… I had Bob
C. come to flock my saddle. First
thing he said was “it fits your
horse very well”. He added some
flocking to the front and said I
shouldn’t have to do any more other
than the normal yearly checks. But,
he really looked it all over,
touched the leather, and said he was
impressed with the craftsmanship and
quality of the saddle. He really
liked it! He asked who made it
(course I gave him your name and
showed him my saddle cover). I told
him the tree was made for Friesians
with straight backs and that I tried
many regular tree saddles of which
just were terrible on my gelding. He
said he knew that other trees would
not work too. Super cudos for you!!
I felt great too, that he really
liked it and that it was
perfect. Oh, he also said he really
liked the knee rolls. Bob has been
selling saddles for 30 years! Sally,
TX.
Congratulations to Kimberly,
Paula, MacKenzi, and Sally for
finding their saddle through
Anneke's Friesians.

The
Ambassador saddle |
The
Ambassador Designer edition
The Ambassador Designer Edition saddle is like no other
saddle on the market today! Not only is this saddle as
functional as the Traditional Ambassador with respect to
ridability and fit, the sheer craftsmanship is beyond
compare from the original artwork design, hand-tooled
Friesian head pattern in the flap, rhinestone
enhanced eye and 3-D horse image in the knee
pad! The panel of the saddle is completely quilted for
maximum comfort for your horse. |
Levade |

The
Royale
This
saddle is a cutback saddle made specifically for the
saddle-seat discipline. The sample in this picture is a
Dark Havana with the seat made in Elk (for grip) and the
flaps are made of (Buffalo) which looks quite elegant.
The saddle also has a deeper seat which is more
"Equitation" style but it can be made flat if that is
more to your liking. The Royale saddle can be made
totally custom; made to your horse's wither tracing,
black, even put a red welt line around the seat if you
use a black & red bridle for example. Leather choices
are custom to: everything is optional! |
Thank you for entering
the summer 2006 contest and helping to name the new Friesian saddle! The contest
gave away a
$200 gift certificate for English tack and apparel and a feature
page of choice online for six months has been to
Kimberly in New York. The winning name is:
Ambassador!
Congratulations, Kimberly!
