Especially if you are interested
in our horses and/or services you might want to know more about us. We
have been blessed with many wonderful Friesian friends from years of
networking back home in The Netherlands and having lived in the United
States for almost two decades now, and we also work with trusted,
high-quality partners in our native country: The Netherlands. We travel
back for family and Friesian business regularly.
Anneke
 I was born
in a Randstad city and raised in the Achterhoek in The Netherlands;
the only one in my family 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 own horses.
Now I am blessed with various home owned Friesians as well as sale, client,
and training Friesians.
My professional
life took me to several major Dutch and American cities in the
government and corporate world but slowly
I worked my way back to the countryside and equine roots.
Now I live in
rural northeast Texas, where I head Anneke's Friesians. I have siblings in
the south of The Netherlands and my wonderful parents continue to live in the Achterhoek
in The Netherlands.
As a teenager I rode a couple of Friesian horses in the neighborhood. They were my world in the
1980s and would become resp. the grand dam
and dam of my first Friesian. I showed them at and attended Friesian
inspections, trained horses, and have been reading the KFPS Phryso
magazine ever since the early '80s, keeping up with the breed in
detail since. I switched to riding KWPN warmbloods for a few years
but never forgot the Friesians and would quickly switch back.
Early '90s, I moved from The Netherlands to Washington
D.C. The move to America resulted in tremendous personal
growth both in spite and because of it having been tough and
rewarding at the same time. Over those same years I also
obtained a renewed appreciation for my home country The Netherlands and have found a
rich balance between the U.S. and Holland and past and
present.
Subsequently I would move to Chicagoland IL in the mid
'90s and to northeast Texas in 2005. The
move to Texas lead to the creation of Anneke's Friesians, with all
the years of Friesian activities coming full circle. Texas has grown
on us and we're here to stay.
The Friesian horses quickly returned full-force after my move to the
U.S. (a Thank You to the Hekstra's and Clark and Lojan of Fryslan Farm) at
which point I joined FHANA mid '90s and shortly after I imported my first
Friesian from my home town in The Netherlands. It was the best decision ever. The
Friesians have enriched life in countless ways with a myriad of
chapter and promo activities, social events, networking,
business, and work for the studbook as well as Friesian headliners. I
am proud to have taken the GLFHA FHANA chapter from a small group
with a stencil newsletter to much of its current status and professionalism
from 2002 through 2004, after which I initiated and created the SCFHA FHANA chapter in 2005 and ran it through 2009. Our business
now requires our full attention.
Today, the
Friesians continue to be a life force and this
year we are celebrating the 5th year in business.
We also enjoy
gardening, the chicken coop, dogs, the great outdoors, travel,
keeping abreast of the news, and fine dining.
