Mission Statement
/
Why Here?
We have
been
dedicated to the purebred Dutch KFPS / FHANA Friesian horse since
childhood (1981) with promotion, breed education, training, showing, sharing our KFPS
Friesians with others, and making our Friesian dream come full
circle by helping others with a wide range of Friesian services. We
live for the fun stuff in training, owning & sharing, selling, promoting & showing our
Friesians.
Over the
years we have built up a valuable Friesian/customer network, an
extensive resume, we are multi-lingual, well traveled, informed about the Friesian
market worldwide, and have a large library of
both practical and book knowledge. Our personal touch, experience,
commitment to privacy and discreteness, and hands-on
sharing sets us
apart.
Currently we are reworking Anneke's Friesians
both online and with property improvements to better share our Friesian
& country-life passion.
Our
approach is simple, focused on peaceful enjoyment, centered around
living the dream of our 'My Little Pony' Friesian farm and the
Bible.
If we can share with you our life-long passion for this magnificent breed; owners, non-owners, future owners,
regardless of registry, (non)memberships or discipline, connect with us
through the Contact Page
(frisian@earthlink.net
or
AnnekesFriesians@yahoo.com).

Disclaimer
We do our
utmost to provide you with accurate information. All information is
subject to change without notice.
We provide
great practical horse information, however, for specialized fields
such as veterinary care, nutrition, etc. we always recommend (also)
contacting a licensed professional.
We support and promote the KFPS/FHANA
Friesian according to the organizations' rules and regulations.
Sales and training of B-book, other-registry or crossbred Friesians
may occur occasionally, ad hoc, and usually behind the scenes, with full disclosure
if such a match is an option,
however, it is not what we promote or pursue.
We encourage everyone as always to research this breed
like you would anything else and make up your own mind, deciding
what is right for you.
Be sure to share any questions you have so we
can provide all information you need.
We do not accept
responsibility for misprints. Misprints and no longer up-to-date
information will be corrected a.s.a.p. upon becoming aware of the
item.
Anneke van den IJssel and Anneke's Friesians do
not accept liability/responsibility for outside/third party sales
transactions and all sales are final.
Under Texas law (Chapter 87, civil practice and
remedies code), an equine professional is not liable for an injury
to or the death of a participant in equine activities resulting from
the inherent risks of equine activities. Added by Acts 1995, 74th
Leg., Ch. 549, Par. 1, effective September 1, 1995.
Liability forms
need to be signed for all equine events and activities.
Guard dog and protection on site at all times.
Appointments required for visits to properly
assist.
Minors need to be accompanied and supervised by adults.
It is the visitors' responsibility to alert to
any (food) allergies.
Appropriate riding gear (long pants, boots without heels, we have
helmets if you need one) is mandatory. Lessons start on the lunge
line. With appropriate skill level shown the riders then can ride on their own.
Please note: a
kind/trained horse never takes away the responsibility of the rider
to learn/know how to ride properly.
No outside dogs (or other animals) are allowed on the
property without prior approval.
Be aware of allergens; hay, hair,
critters, the usual rural stuff.
We do our
utmost to answer everyone, however, at times messages may not come
through and there can be a delay due to large volumes and other
obligations.
