I was born in a Randstad city and raised in the Achterhoek in The Netherlands with a passion for horses. Through the years I acquired lots of horse and especially Friesian experience (since 1981) but would have to wait quite some time and care for other people's horses until owning my very own dream horses. Now I am blessed with three Friesians and various sale and clients' Friesians. My professional life took me to several major Dutch and American cities but slowly I worked my way to the countryside and equine roots and now I live in rural northeast Texas and head Anneke's Friesians. I have one brother who lives with his family in the south of The Netherlands. My super parents continue to live in the Achterhoek.

• We cannot think of any other seller who provides as much in-depth information about, assistance with, and related sales for the breed before, during, and after! We also assist with horses not purchased through us.
• We are committed to the right match and not making a sale.
• We know the breed facts and lingo and provide factual information and technical details without the marketing confusion and often seen, intentional or not, false advertising.
• When you buy a Friesian, or any horse, you can either buy from an owner/breeder or a broker. The benefit of working with an owner/breeder is that you get a good feel for the background of the horse with personal service but they may not have the largest selection or can be hard to find. Then there are the brokers with a wide selection. Many of the big, fancy Friesian websites and advertisers are brokers, who may often own the horses but only for a quick resale-often at high prices-and getting to the source of where the horse came from is usually tough nor does the broker really know the background in many cases, which increases the chance of unexpected surprises.
• Why buy from us? When you buy from Anneke's Friesians you buy direct, which saves money and time.
• You will always have direct access to the owner of the horse and the horse's background with excellent customer service and the horses come from a small group of reliable and dedicated owners, both domestic and in The Netherlands.
• Our listings are invited and not purchased ad space. On a limited basis we sell Friesians from our home, either imported by us or on a consignment basis. See next paragraph for details.
• You will pay the same price the owner has the horse advertised for at home; there are no added brokerage/resale fees inflating the price.
• We specialize in Friesian matchmaking, not making a sale. Of course we cannot help everyone but we sure have helped many already.
• We offer a full range of services, which includes guiding the sale along with knowledge, paper work, translation services, travel services, and more.
• Brokers search The Netherlands for horses and work with many sources resulting in a variety of obstacles when you want to research the horse's past and making it hard to reliably have the horse represented to you. We work with just a few people so we know what we advertise and we provide any information we possibly can and you will need.
• Sometimes you will see horses we had on our site that were then purchased by U.S. brokers from Holland and subsequently are up for sale in the U.S. with often a much higher price tag than we had on the horse; it may be convenient to have the horse imported before you buy, but you will pay more too. We work direct with steady U.S. and Dutch partners, who are fully accessible.
• We often have the inside track on special deals, payment plans, and price reductions not advertised elsewhere. It's about making a deal together.
• We are Dutch nationals as well as  U.S. resident, are multi-lingual and well traveled; language barriers and borders are easily crossed. I keep customers informed on the breed, and advertise for a handful of trusted friends and partners so you will feel part of the process.
• Either way, a horse always needs to be transported to its new home, vetted, and insured and we have great referrals and information for that.
• In short: you will be buying direct from trusted sources without added fees and with great service & knowledge you can count on, because the purebred KFPS/FHANA Friesian horse and sharing its joy are our 27 year + passion/obsession.
• Visit the Sales Information page for more general sales info and the Sold page for the horses we have sold so far. We will be glad to put you in touch with clients for many happy testimonials or visit the Guest Book page for comments. Back to contents.
