Hi Janna! 3rd ride with Ivo today and he has even a star.  I lunged him the first week and let him settle and adjust to altitude. We are a mile high here. He hasn't taken a misstep. I am over the moon happy with him, he's just what I was hoping for.  Today we had a noisy, loud tractor moving huge bales, a guy on a roof across from the arena tearing up old roofing material on one side and a man installing metal fence on the other side. Some horses couldn't handle it all but Ivo never batted an eye.  I am smitten. No problem with him going forward and being a good boy. I'm learning how to handle his mane and tail. Enough hair for everyone! Please let his last owner know he will be doted on and continue in dressage and trail riding. Thank you so much and for troubleshooting his journey.??You have a great business and you do a great job of marketing. I am so happy with Ivo, he is a gentleman in every way. Please let the former owner that Ivo is well and he already knows me....or it could be the treats in my pockets. ? please let me know if there's a way to give you a recommendation. You did everything right and found a great horse. 

Update: My experience in finding a Friesian was great with Janna. She kept me informed throughout the whole process. I wanted a gelding so she made all the arrangements in the Netherlands to have this done, and with the farm where he was located to see him through recovery after the castration. We had some glitches with flying him here due to an outbreak of a virus and she helped with getting that sorted out. I am totally in awe of my new horse, Ivo ,and he has not taken a step wrong since arriving. I couldn't be happier with him.

Hi Janna,

It’s been a week since Sueno arrived safely. Wayne R. and the driver were very good about updates and Sueno was in good shape on arrival. Also, thank you for the really nice sheet!  He is super sweet and a gentleman, and is now turned out with our oldest (a gelding in his late 20’s).  He’s very handsome! Later I hope to keep you posted on our journey and will send pics.

He actually is a very suitable size also, as I am 5’2”.

Thanks again so very much!!!

-Sherry in S.C.

Thank you so much!!!

Whatever you and your counterpart are doing, keep doing it… you find the absolute best horses. There’s just no comparison to the other offerings I’ve seen. These two girls are going to be a strong start to our breeding program. 

I’ll make sure to send you all the Christmas pictures, and the foaling pictures, and the keuring pictures! This is going to be a really exciting year!!!

Update:

Marina arrived safe and sound last night around 11:30 PM! We were able to keep her delivery a surprise until the very last second. 

My daughter was confused at first because we called her outside and she saw a Friesian with a red halter on standing next to a trailer, and she thought we were sending Margriet away!

You should have seen her eyes light up when I told her the horse standing in front of her was Marina. 

THANK YOU! -Joanna in Kansas

Janna,

Thank you ever so very much! I just bought the tack package from you. I am beyond excited and cannot possibly express my immense gratitude for you & you're willingness to be patient with me.

He's a lifelong dream fulfilled for me and if you knew my life, you'd understand the immense weight that statement holds. Deepest thank you and you have no idea how excited i am to finally meet him!!! 

My forever horse and soon to be very best friend in this whole world. Thank you again!

I just can’t find enough words of gratitude. Riley is a dream horse for me. Kind, gracious, brave, smart, stoic, sweet, gentle… He settled in immediately after arriving our barn. Everyone thinks he is beautiful and calm. He adjusts very well to his environment. I heard nothing but compliments from everyone who has cared for him during his long journey to California. And since this is the first time I purchased a horse (from the internet too!), I really appreciate the daily update and photos during his quarantine and layover. We love him so much. Petra and I will cherish him and take very good care of him.

Thank you for finding this rare and exceptional beauty.  Everyone loves him. 

-Wendy 

Thank you millions.

-Petra (trainer)

Update...

Greetings from Riley (now Wailee) in California.  Petra and I continue to solidify his foundation.  We truly enjoy his personality.  Piaffe is Petra’s specialty.  Since Wailee arrived, Petra worked him on piaffe only a couple of times.  Each time he learned and processed really fast.  Wailee’s work ethics is superb.  He is not a quitter.  I only wish I had his intelligence.  It is still the beginning, but it shows how beautiful he can be and how willing he is to learn.  Cheers, Wendy

Hi Janna-

Just sending you pics of me and my new boy “Hidde”.

We have never imported a horse and were not sure what to expect, but Hidde has exceeded our expectations.

Thank you!
