Welcome to the page of
Tropical Rider's Wieger. Our sweetheart,
handsome, performance
stallion. Click on any of the topics of the index below or scroll
down the page.
Happy Valentine's
Month!
Surprise your Sweetheart with a
visit to our farm. Come ride and hug our Friesians with
pictures to remember.
Photo Shoots
Find many
great photos on this page and the
Photo Gallery page,
including our glam photos. Book your own photo shoot with our
Friesians for any occasion: family, product promotion, glamour,
commercial/promotional, wedding, holiday, princess, etc. or for photographers a photo shoot
for your portfolio with our Rock Star
Friesians (click here
for the Herd page).
Think about our big herd of Friesians galloping through the
country side. How about you all dressed up on or with a Friesian, or a pose by
one of our Big'-80s-hair Friesian.
For
customer photo sessions we can
suggest a photographer or you can take photos yourself. You
may do the shoot at our farm, and we recommend
Castle
Douglas in Rockwall TX, The Savannah in Sulphur Springs TX, and
Tankersley Gardens in Mount Pleasant TX as professional (wedding/garden/backdrop) locations.
A site/travel fee will apply for
commercial/outside locations and rates depend on the occasion
(family vs. commercial, open to potential co-operations). Additional regulations may apply to
commercial shoots.
E-mail
us for details / inquiries.

Lessons / Meeting TR Wieger /
Stallion Management
Tropical
Rider's Wieger is gladly
saddled up for visitors when they come for a farm visit or lesson, attend a social event,
photo shoots
or to meet Wieger specifically.
We LOVE
stallions, because they are so handsome, powerful, have that special
presence, are clever, nimble, and they bond with their handler,
however, stallions need to be kept separate (i.e. more work, cost,
and restrictions may apply at certain locations), the handler has to
be in charge at all times (i.e., have an alpha leader in place), and
although Friesian stallions have probably the best personalities of
any stallion, some are just not suitable in terms of character
and/or quality. Logistics and the stallion's qualities need to
therefore be part when considering if one wants/needs to keep a
stallion a stallion or wants to own/keep one.
With
young studs keep in mind that although they start out as cute foals,
they will go through the 'terrible two's' no matter how well they
are raised. These formative years (usually between 1-1 1/2 and 3-4)
are crucial.
As an
example our Wieger is a doll, however, he can nip as most all
stallion standard do, and if other horses are right close without
physical distance, World-War-III hormones will erupt (although he is
fine in a closed stall next to other horses). Also, if an
inexperienced rider bounces in the saddle he will not respond well.
On the
other hand, with his separate set-up one never notices this and he is
so well trained/exposed by Anneke, kind and professional on the job,
and so trainable that he is harmless with us.

Tropical Rider
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,
and with special $25 or 10% gift certificate for our visitors and
those who request them by e-mail from us.
