The Horses
We take great pride in the horses, which are currently
the horses listed below along with imported or domestic sale/training horses. We have
had several (imported) guest horses
at home that all went to satisfied buyers and
some horses for keuring prep. The Anneke's Friesians sales listings come from trusted Dutch
partners and we also advertise for several American Friesian
friends. This ensures you quality purebred, fully registered Dutch KFPS/FHANA horses
(NO B-books, no "other" registries) direct from loving homes, for sale by reliable Friesian owners.

Guest
Horses at Anneke's Friesians

 We also
have/had several high-quality Friesians for sale at home and am soon
expecting the next one. The first sale horse
depicted here, Doede a.k.a. Romeo, left for his new home in New Jersey in April 2006;
 and
then came Luca F.J. late April 2006 to take with to the Equine Expo in Ft. Worth.
We keuring prepped him and he became ster gelding at the TX keuring October
2006. He sold as well
and late fall after boarding with me went to his wonderful new home, closeby in Texas.
We continue to ride him
and showed him in a little breed demo at the Mt. Vernon TX
Labor Day rodeo on September 2nd. See pictures of us on the
About Us page. And then came;
  1st
premie ster Fetse gelding Frits (left) left early April for his new
home in Kentucky, and
full papered 1st premie ster
Allard fan 'e Berkwert left late April for his new
Texas home.
 We
also had Jacob here late summer 2006 for his keuring prep. He
showed beautifully, even if it wasn't enough for ster stallion.
Then we
imported Maurits late October 2007, full mare line gelding, stam
145, 2004, Time x Dirk x Tamme, out of a model mare, and just a
super sweetheart. I enjoyed him on behalf of the new owners for
four months but he's now at home in Michigan.
    
In March
2008, we took in wonderful Josephine, a 2003 FPZV mare Anneke
was already riding. We gladly made an exception for her (we only
do KFPS normally) and she
sold quickly after coming to our home in Texas. It is
always emotional to see the horses go but so satisfying to make
someone else happy.
 
Late May
2008, we took in Mynke, a 2004 stam 50 Sibald x Fabe mare. We
trained her from completely green to traffic trained, parades &
events, trail rides, obstacle desensitization, flag and costume
riding, keuring prep, and show-ring ready. She went home early
December 2008 and has meanwhile been sold. Picture: with Anneke, September 2008 Equine Expo
of Texas with 3 months of saddle training.
In January
2009, we took on two green mares: 2003 full papered ster Tsjerk
328 pref mare Jytske and
2005 Anne-340-sport mare Annie (right). Jytske meanwhile
sold, stayed in training, and left late May for her new home. Annie is still for sale
and will stay for keuring prep, click
her name or picture for details.
In November 2008 and now back at Annek's
Friesians, we took in
2004 stam 49 Wobke 403 sport x Reitse 272 pref x Arent 283 stb mare
Mya for two months, out of 4th level dressage dam,
going on 16.2 hands/now 1.66m and
growing.
Tall and steady warmblood style dressage mare, super
show mare! What a great ride; steady, smooth, uphill. She will
go all the way. Click for details.
And, we are so excited
to now have this phenomenal sport buff back: Allard!
What a dream to ride and drive. Click on his picture for
sales details.
Where are they now?

Keuring Prep/Training.
Since our childhood we have attended keurings, prepped horses, done
ground training/desensitization, and have saddle trained young
horses. After years of doing this just privately for shows, trail,
play, and events we are now by demand offering training to outside
Friesians. Our specialty is starting young horses, confidence
building, proper English/dressage. This service is for Friesian
horses only.
If you would like us to to get your Friesian ready for the keuring,
exercise it, train it up, switch it to English or saddle train it
from scratch we can help.
We work from home with limited availability to pay the horses
proper attention. We welcome young horses but unfortunately at this
time cannot yet accept stallions.
If you
have questions contact us at
frisian@earthlink.net.

Texas KFPS Inspection
Every
year, we take our own and/or client horses to the annual KFPS/FHANA
keuring, i.e. studbook inspection. We can keuring prep for you (click
for details) or consult you on the keuring process. For
information on the Texas inspection visit
our other website for the
South Central FHANA chapter,
a chapter initiated in 2005 and since then headed by Anneke van den IJssel. If you
have questions contact us at
frisian@earthlink.net.

Lessons. On a limited basis we give English lessons for good dressage basics
and train Friesians (see keuring prep,
training,
and sales for the latter), with happy clients
as a result. If it's determined
we can help you and we have the appropriate Friesian at home lessons
will only take place on our property; we no longer travel for
lessons. We
will also be happy to tell you about the Friesian horse and you can
even test ride a Friesian here without obligation. With 28 years of experience
we can
explain the breed in great detail. Of course test rides for sales
and general info are free but lessons, detailed consults, and training are charged for
at reasonable rates. Contact
us
at frisian@earthlink.net
with questions.

Personalized Friesian
Clinics & Consulting
We are
always happy to answer questions (FAQ posted
on the Friesians 101 page) and do so all the time, no charge of
course unless in-depth research is involved, but have you ever
wanted to attend a Friesian clinic to tap into the world of
Friesians or wanted a consult, where you could ask any question from
breeding to what a Friesian would cost, personality, registries,
care, training, where to find what, etc. but these special days and
educational opportunities are too far away, have inopportune
scheduling or you just don't know where to go? We can also be hired
for personalized clinics as well as horse research and help with negotiations overseas. With 28
years of Friesian KFPS/FHANA experience, breed devotion, and a solid
horse and sales background we will gladly provide you with advice,
tips, information, and appraisals to show you around the Friesian
world. This can be done over the phone or in person. As mentioned we
answer many, many questions free of charge, however, if you need us
to do more extensive work we charge a
reasonable fee. Read more about us on the
About Us,
and Friesian Services pages
or contact Anneke at
frisian@earthlink.net for details.

Background / Evaluations
With
28 years of Friesian experience, regularly Friesian owners ask us to
research where their horse came from and check out their pedigree.
We can help with background information on your horse and connect
you with breeders/former owners.
We can
also evaluate horses for you that you may be interested in
purchasing elsewhere. We will give you unbiased input and can give
tips for the purchase process.
If you
have questions about pricing or need an appraisal for the value of
your/a Friesian we can help with that too. There are small fees
involved for these services.
E-mail us for details.

Import Services
Do you
need help with the details to get your dream Friesian from The
Netherlands to North America? Even if you are not our client and are
buying elsewhere we can still make the arrangements for you per
your needs: from travel and vetting papers to transport, currency
conversions and transfers, quarantine, insurance, trucking, studbook
registration, and care along the way; we
will be happy to assist for a reasonable fee. We have imported many
Friesians, have a solid business background, and speak the languages
involved.

Sales.
Let Us Sell Your
Friesian For You!
Are you too busy for your Friesian? Were you
sold the wrong match? Are you going through a life-changing event?
Advertising, marketing, lead generation, receiving visitors, breed
information, the sales transaction itself, guidance in vetting,
maintenance of the horse, and answering mail and phone calls is time
consuming, intricate, and can be overwhelming but this is exactly
what we specialize in and have proven success in. Let us take the
pressure of you and send your Friesian to us to sell. Certain
restrictions apply as we will thoroughly check the horse's and
owner's background if we are not yet familiar with the horse and
owner, which often we already are. We also have limited availability
as we specialize in Friesian matchmaking and not a puppy-mill
operation; we give the horse full focus for a loving and forever
home. We have an excellent track record for care and happiness of
the horse, reliability, satisfied sellers and buyers, and speedy
sales transactions.
E-mail us for details.
We work with a handful of reliable partners in The Netherlands and
have Friesians for sale owned by friends in the United States from
our many years of networking;
reputable, small breeders who mostly do not have a website or are too busy
to list as horse sales is a time-consuming activity. We honestly
and factually describe the horses so you know what you're looking at and they are
all fully KFPS/FHANA registered. Our goal is to make a match, not
just a sale. Visit the Sales
Information page and
Services page for information on all the things for
sale: Friesian horses & services, gifts, flags and banners,
trailers, saddles, carriages, information/translations, newsletter,
costumes, and more.

a visit to northeast Texas. We will be happy to have you enjoy a ride
on our Friesians and answer your Friesian questions without
obligation.

Horse Care
Our care is
thorough and loving, firm and fair. We do not over-pamper the horses and
let them be horses but take good care and care for them
throughout the day, adjusting their care as necessary depending on
training level, weather, age, etc. We are very proud of how well
they look. They are always on track with deworming, shots, farrier,
etc. Training bits from various disciplines and trainers are used
based on solid horse experience focusing on English riding/dressage.
We keep detailed records of the horses, feed & water throughout the
day with only quality feed and care, mostly turn-out with night-time
stalling in the winter/fall and day-time stalling in the
spring/summer. Our horses are happy, easygoing, confident, and
personable.

Goals and Aspirations
Our lifelong passion that started in 1981
became our full-time business with the goal to share this passion,
provide Friesian sales & services, and educate. The Friesians are a
passion first and a business second. For that reason we do not board
unless it's short-term for sales or training, we abide strictly by
KFPS/FHANA regulations, and do not in any way work with crossbreds,
"other registries" or B-books. We have the horses
that make US happy; now we'd like to make YOU happy with your very
own Friesian and/or the services you may need for it.
We are excited about the momentum of our FHANA
chapter
South Central Friesian Horse Association,
initiated by Anneke after her move to Texas to promote
and support the purebred
Dutch KFPS/FHANA Friesian. We are thankful for the partnerships and
friendships with highly reliable Friesian breeders and industry
professionals that help make this business and the
Friesians For Sale listing unique,
personal, reliable,
and interesting. You may read more
about the objective along with our disclaimer on the
Friesians 101 page and
in general about us on the
About Us page.
