Are you too busy for your Friesian? Were you
sold the wrong match? Are you going through a life-changing event?
Advertising, marketing, lead generation, receiving visitors, breed
information, the sales transaction itself, guidance in vetting,
maintenance of the horse, and answering mail and phone calls is time
consuming, intricate, and can be overwhelming but this is exactly
what we specialize in and have proven success in. Let us take the
pressure of you and send your Friesian to us to sell. Certain
restrictions apply as we will thoroughly check the horse's and
owner's background if we are not yet familiar with the horse and
owner, which often we already are. We also have limited availability
as we specialize in Friesian matchmaking and not a puppy-mill
operation; we give the horse full focus for a loving and forever
home. We have an excellent track record for care and happiness of
the horse, reliability, satisfied sellers and buyers, and speedy
sales transactions.

Why Do People Sell?
Often you hear: "Why is this horse for sale? Why for this price?
There must be something wrong with it." That is not true. Friesians
are well cared for and there are many, valid reasons these horses
are up for sale: the barn is getting full, sales opportunity, not
the right match, too little time, retirement, health issues of the
owner, changing family circumstances, and so much more. The prices
are in part determined by such situations along with what the horse
has to offer, investment, and emotional value. We work with people
we know and trust and honest information is what we share. Should
there be any known issues we disclose that. Regardless, we always
recommend thorough questions for the best possible match and a
vetting before purchase. We assist buyer and seller throughout the
process, from price setting to the final contract details and
transportation.

Import
Services
Do you
need help with the details to get your dream Friesian from The
Netherlands to North America? Even if you are not our client and are
buying elsewhere we can still make the arrangements for you per
your needs: from travel and vetting papers to transport, currency
conversions and transfers, quarantine, insurance, trucking, studbook
registration, and care along the way; we
will be happy to assist for a most reasonable fee. We have imported many
Friesians, have a solid business background, and speak the languages
involved.
E-mail Anneke for details.
With
28 years of Friesian experience, regularly Friesian owners ask us to
research where their horse came from and check out their pedigree.
We can help with background information on your horse and connect
you with breeders/former owners.
We can
also evaluate horses for you that you may be interested in
purchasing elsewhere. We will give you unbiased input and can give
tips for the purchase process.
If you
have questions about pricing or need an appraisal for the value of
your/a Friesian we can help with that too. There are small fees
involved for these services.
E-mail us for details.

Keuring Prep/Training.
Since childhood we have attended keurings, prepped horses, done
ground training/desensitization, and have saddle trained young
horses. After years of doing this just privately for shows, trail,
play, and events we are now by demand offering training to outside
Friesians. Our specialty is starting young horses, confidence
building, proper English/dressage. This service is for Friesian
horses only.
If you would like us to to get your Friesian ready for the keuring,
exercise it, train it up, switch it to English or saddle train it
from scratch we can help.
We work from home with limited availability to pay the horses
proper attention. We welcome young horses but unfortunately at this
time cannot yet accept stallions. That will change a.s.a.p. as we
love stallions!
Keuring prep is full service start to finish;
you don't have to lift a finger unless you want to.
