Let Us Sell Your Friesian For You!
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. E-mail us for details. Return to top of the page.
 
 
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. Return to top of the page.

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.

Background / Evaluations
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. Return to top of the page.

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.
For details contact frisian@earthlink.net.
