About Remco Warner van den IJssel
Remco's full name is Remco Warner van den IJssel (Remco for short) named after our little nephew Warner Remco van den IJssel, but of course the names had to start with P, R or S in 2005, and so we switched the double first name. Foals we breed will carry our last name as registered with FHANA. Remco was born on Saturday April 9, 2005 and we were lucky enough to catch the birth on video tape. He is a Jorrit 363 and the first foal out of my Sanne B. (S. Anne 340 sport), 3.51% inbreeding coefficient, stam 111. We had several stallions in mind of which Jorrit was our back-up choice and we were, of course, rather disappointed when exactly Jorrit was disapproved late 2004, even with having produced quite a few excellent premies in the U.S, however, the disapproval was justified and we are very pleased nontheless with the elegance of Remco. We had hoped it would be a filly but Remco is handsome, all black, healthy, and powerful, and these days we are convinced a boy is just as valuable as a girl. Remco was rated highest of his colt class with eight participants at the Waxahachie TX FHANA keuring on September 22. He had the highest 2nd premie and took the Champion Colt title! He was praised for his attitude, good conformation ("beautiful neck, good top line, bit long in the back"), good muscling ("well developed, could have a bit longer gaskin muscle"), and gait ("he acted like a stallion and didn't show all he seems to be capable of"). He was sticking to his mom but we can save that for a later age. See his ribbons below under Pictures. Back to contents.

Future Plans
Remco was a rambunctious foal but has become a good, yet at times still mischievious gelding. He is doing well under saddle and has attended various events for exposure such as a couple of in-hand clinics, the Expo both under saddle and in hand, and local rides. Remco will be presented as an adult in 2009 at four. He will become a lesson horse. His lifetime registration with USEF was complete in November 2005. We had no intention of cutting Remco but unfortunately with an eye on the future we had to have him cut on faithful March 14, 2007. It worked out well with our horses now being out together. There will be a stallion some day. Back to contents.
 
 
Pictures
We will regularly post new pictures on this page so you can see Remco grow and in different situations. The background pictures were taken on April 23, 2005 at two weeks old. The patch on his neck is from a plasma i.v. that was given as a preventative booster. Back to contents.

May 18, 2008 with Anneke at Wind Spirit Friesians for the Jan Hendriks clinic: 3 years old. Thank you to Cally Matherly for the impromptu photos at liberty and to Deb Traci for the clinic pics. Remco has been started under saddle by Anneke per early May.

 

May 11, 2008: the easy life with mom and sis.

 

October 7, 2007 at 2 1/2 years old. After a lonely summer Remco was Weidebloem's weaning buddy and he has since been out with Sanne and Weidbloem as a little herd of three.

 

June 30, 2007 and July 31, 2007. Bleached! But it sure was a trying year of new beginnings.

 

June 23, 2007. A teenager at 2 years and 2 1/2 months. Sleep-over at Wind Spirit Friesians for the Jan Hendriks Friesian educational clinic. His mane is all growth from just 4 months since the move and the cable that cut his mane. Thank you, Marvel, for the pictures.

 

March 28, 2007. 2 years minus 12 days old and recovered from gelding. He's going through another growth spurt and is turning into the sport type.

 

March 14, 2007. D-day. Remco gets gelded. Boohoo.

3 days , 4 days, 8 days, 8 days, 2 weeks after gelding.

 

1 year and 10 months old, February 25, 2007. 15.1 hands tall and still tubsy, but just wait until he hits two.

 

1 year and 1 month old, May 14, 2006. He's almost done shedding his winter baby hair.

 

11 mos. old, March 11, 2006. Remco on the left, pasture pal Sjouke on the right, portrait Remco. Pictures by Christina Plantinga. New body shots a.s.a.p.!

 

10 mos. old, February 12, 2006. Remco stands at or near 14 hands and weighs roughly 760 lbs.

 

9 mos. old, January 9, 2006. Time for the monthly deworming and temperature so we might as well take a picture too.

 

8 1/2 months old, December 23, 2005. Remco snoozing with his teeth bare left & cropped, Sjouke right. I snuck up but he saw me through his eyelids. Zzzzzzzzz. Huh? Ooookay. He's now wearing his 3rd halter size!

 

Almost 8 1/2 months old, December 18, 2005. Playing with a leaky basketball. Remco l., r., r., r.

 

8 months old, December 15, 2005. A lazy lunch in the sun, laying around and eating at the same time (Remco laying down, Sjouke standing) followed by dinner by full moon (Remco r., r.).

 

7 1/2 mos. old, November 25, 2005. Remco and Sjouke back out after their 2nd round of fall shots. Remco cropped from double shots.

 

7 months old, November 14, 2005. 7 months old, November 14, 2005. Remco wearing the halter, in single shots, right of Sjouke with feedbin and behind Sjouke at play. This first-upgrade halter he started wearing about 4 months ago is almost too small now!

 

6 mos. old, October 5, 2005. Last breakfast together. Weaning time!

Remco has a new pasture buddy in Sjouke fan Pleasant Hill and Sanne is out on her own. I can ride again! Weaning was tough but all things considered it went well. Remco fell and slipped under the fence the first day, prancing around with the other horses briefly but all is well that ends well.

 

5 1/2 mos., 24 wks old, September 24, 2005, 9 a.m. Chasing the rooster and working off some energy as they're mostly stallbound for this Rita hurricane weekend. The winds and rain rolled in with force after these pictures but everything was fine the next day.

 

5 1/2 mos. old, September 22, 2005. Remco received the highest 2nd premie rating, leading his class of eight colts and with that taking the FHANA Champion Colt 2005 title for the Texas keuring receiving good comments on his conformation ("beautiful neck, good top line, bit long in the back"), muscle tone ("well developed, could have a bit longer gaskin muscle"), gait ("he acted like a stallion and didn't show all he seems capable of"), and stallion-like personality! He'll be a handful but we have a good understanding.

 

We have a nice dvd with great footage of Remco's time in the ring and the championship round. Last: Remco running with his championship ribbon, runner Sjouke left, Anneke looking on, Sanne with runner Luke. Pictures by Tim Branam, except for the last one.

 

21 1/2 wks./ 5 months old, September 8, 2005. He contracted an upper respiratory infection on 9/2 but with swift care he was back to normal in just a few days.

He shows a great stallion attitude and movement in a keuring setting (didn't catch it on camera!). Now let's hope he does it on 9/22.

Remco loves water bubbles and the flow of water on his gums and will not leave the hose alone.

 

20 wks./ 4 1/2 mos. old, August 27, 2005. Remco has started to wear the halter Sanne crossed the Atlantic with back in 1997.

August 28, 2005. Excited about breakfast. He "talks" a lot.

 

15 wks./3.5 mos old, July 24, 2005. Walk, trot, caaaaaaanter!

We have no pictures of this but at our club meeting on 8/13 in Rockwall TX Remco jumped through the feed door in the sliding door of his Priefert stall after being fed up of standing in a stall for a day! No more open stalls or doors for Mr. Remco!

 

12 weeks old, July 4, 2005.

Pictures taken at Castle Douglas, Rockwall TX.

 

11 weeks old, June 26, 2005.

Growing taller by the day,

and doing well in halter training. Love his personality. He is smart. But also nippy. A stallion alright. But it's getting better.

 

10 weeks old, June 18, 2005.

Remco's first farrier appointment. He did very well! The farrier is Chad Nichols.

In 2 months he grew from fitting under his mom's belly to this!

 

9 1/2 weeks old, June 14, 2005. Mom's coming into heat and Remco is a boy alright. All this at 2 months already?! Sanne is starting to fade in the burning Texas sun unfortunately. (Picture right 6/18/05.)

 

2 months old, June 10, 2005.

I'll get up for the camera.

"I have started to rest on three legs but still love my naps laying down."

A lazy noon hour in the life of...

"I had a body clip (it's hot out) and was a good boy: the Clipper Pro!

My tree house. Mom might look hungry but she gets plenty."

 

7 weeks old, May 29, 2005. Finally, a trot! Remco usually canters or walks.

"I eat some solid foods and drink some water now. I love alfalfa." Remco is my little buddy but since he only knows me I noticed he needs more exposure. To be continued!

 

6 weeks old, May 22, 2005. "So you want me to pose while you hold the lead rope and the camera?

Guess if mom's o.k. with it (too busy eating) I'll do it.

After birth I was able to walk under my mom. Not anymore!

After a brief spunky episode I have become a model citizen."

 

4 weeks old, May 8, 2005. Remco is starting to lead and loves to be brushed and massaged. He's a smart cookie. "Look at my feathers."

Bald spots from itching and the i.v.

 

3 weeks old, April 30, 2005.

"This is how tall I am now.

And my feathers have begun to grow!"

 

2 weeks old, April 23, 2005.

2 1/2 weeks.

"I'm teething and nippy! And mom is giving me foal diarrhea."

 

1 week old, April 16, 2005.

 

   

3 days old, April 12, 2005.

1 day old, April 10, 2005, pictures left.

2 days old, April 11, 2005, picture right.

 

Sat. night 04/09/05 about 11:15 p.m., 16 days before the official due date.

It's a boy! It took him a while to get up and he's on the small side but everything looks great.

 
 
Jorrit 363
Remco is a Jorrit 363 x Anne 340 sport x Lammert 260 pref from his 7th and last approved breeding season in 2004. Unfortunately he is now available for B-book breedings. Jorrit 363 (Nykle 309 x Lammert 260 pref x Ygram 240) is owned by and located at The Friesian Connection in Dorr MI. He was disapproved on offspring in the fall of 2004 and after a re-inspection in 2005 confirmed disapproved on offspring in December 2005. Here are several pictures of Jorrit. The ones from the 2005 Midwest Horse Fair in Madison WI are by Angela Fritsch. Click on the thumbnail pictures below to enlarge. Back to contents.
