SANTOS - SOLD Friesian SANTOS - Sold HUGE Congrats to Sutton on Housewives of Beverly Hills on her bucket list purchase of a VERY sweet baroque pinto!

Very excited, a bit overwhelmed;) and already in love!!!

Thank You!

-Sutton in Bel Air, CA

Update from Trainer at LA Equestrian Center:

He is doing GREAT! Total sweetheart, very easy to work with. It has been great. The first time i met Sutton was on a set and we did a shoot with the horse. It was fun! She is so busy with filming. They want to film her riding, but even she isn't sure she'll have a chance to practice with their hectic filming schedule. Very interesting job, being on that show. Santos is so cute. Everyone at the barn is super impressed w/ his looks and temperament. I told them to contact you if anyone decided they were in the market for a similar horse!! Thank you! -Nicole

Update: How many Real Housewives of Beverly Hills watchers are there out there?? Sutton Stracke Shows Off the "Beautiful” Stable Where Her Horse, Santos, Resides. The RHOBH cast member gave a tour of her horse's “new digs.”Sutton Stracke is trading in her haute couture fashions for equestrian attire! That’s right – the Southern socialite is officially a horse owner, and she couldn’t be more excited. On the Season 13 premiere of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Sutton opened up about what led her to purchase a Friesian Warmblood Cross named Santos. “I grew up riding, and I wanted to ride again,” she explained in her interview. As for what made Sutton realize that Santos was the horse for her, she blamed it on her intuition.“Now, I’m not normal, and Santos spoke to me with his eyes on the internet,” she said. On Episode 5 of RHOBH, viewers watched Sutton meet Santos for the first time, and according to the diamond holder, it was the "best first date." Now that Sutton has had some time to get acquainted with her new pet, she’s finally giving BravoTV.com a full look at Santos' stable in the video.“This is where I feed him and this is his beautiful apartment,” Sutton explains in the clip, showing off Santos’ green wooden barn. The hay-filled room is very spacious, which gives the horse plenty of room to roam around.Moving onto Santos’ grooming area, Sutton prefers to do the chore in an open area adjacent to her pet’s stable to minimize the “dander.” She also offers a glimpse at the horse’s “favorite spot” to tend to when he’s in the mood for grazing.The RHOBH ‘Wife goes on to share a few fun facts about the four-legged mammals, saying, “Horses love grass [and] they like to chill.” During Sutton’s tour of Santos’ home, she also took the time to inform us of his “favorite” treats to nibble on. “Santos really loves the carrots [and] he does love apples,” she says before giving him the pome fruit. Sutton even admitted that it gets a “bit messy” when feeding her horse, and he often knows when she plans to “bring him treats.” How much did Sutton Stracke pay for her horse, Santos? Sutton is a woman known for splurging on expensive items, but her newly purchased horse may have been one of her biggest yet. In fact, the exact amount Sutton spent on the black-and-white charger was revealed on Season 13, Episode 5 of RHOBH, when she explained the buying process. “I looked online, at https://www.blacksterlingfriesians.com/, and I saw Santos – it’s like the online dating thing,” she mentioned in a confessional. “And I said, ‘he’s the perfect match for me,’ and I hit buy.”

Helmet - SOLD Friesian Helmet - Sold 6th friesian sold to this marvelous person in calif!

Janna-

Helmet, "renamed Zane" has settled in beautifully.  He has been receiving lots of attention and affection, as a couple friends came by to visit. He is so trusting, kind, calm and cannot wait for us to get to know each other more and more.  I think he had a sugar cube, an apple and carrots for the first time.   He is gonna love the California way of of being spoiled!!! 

We can hardly wait to lunge him, hopefully next week, and then for Amber to start working the magic.  

He is a big boy, mainly in height.  He isn’t bulky, and does look like a sport model, which I adore.  I think he might get to 16.3 or l7 hands by the time he is done.   Well, so far so good:):) 

Cheers,

Nicki in Ca, on friesian #6 from you

Hi, Janna,

Wanted to let you know that Ember is out of quarantine at Lexington and has arrived at the training facility near Indianapolis. I haven't had the opportunity to meet her in person yet, but I love everything I am hearing and seeing in pictures and video.

Thank you for your role in making this happen!!!!!

JOVANN - SOLD Friesian JOVANN - Sold Grats to Nicole in Santa Rosa

Hi Janna…..

I just wanted to check in and let you know how AMAZING JOVANN IS DOING!!! He’s everyone’s fave at the barn. We had a great trail ride today and Saturday going to the beach with him. He is soooooooooo precious and I am head over heals for my boy.

I’ve been telling everyone if you want to get a good quality and absolute special horse …to contact you!!!

 

…I’m always raving about you because JOVANN is EXACTLY as advertised and a smooth journey here…. I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU HOW GRATEFUL I AM TO YOU, For my beautiful boy!!!

 

Update.....

Here are a few pics of JOVANN at Doran Beach. JOVANN was just a gentleman and a perfect example for my friend's horse, since he never went to the beach before….JOVANN is literally the absolute love of my life. He comes running and whinnying to me , even if he is in a delicious full grass pasture (he also knows my car when I pull in.) He’s so smart. He knows now when I pull into the barn…..and follows me around like a puppy ……. If he’s in his stall with paddock attached, he always gives me a super loud whinny and he loves lots of kisses on his sweet muzzle …. Such a love bug. He is just the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!!!!! We have connected so deeply, which after loosing my mare, I honestly didn’t think it was possible (I did the Tevis Cup twice with her) …..JOVANN SAVED ME AND MY BROKEN HEART OVER LOOSING HER several years ago ……Thank you for everything you did to get me this angel of a boy. I taught him some tricks too. I love when he lies down and lets me sit on him and hug his neck and scratch his favorite areas. He is so adorable and so spoiled ( in a healthy way) but he deserves it…….

ARLO STER - SOLD Friesian ARLO STER - Sold Congrats to Elizabeth in South Carolina on this marvelous STER Gelding!

Thank you for everything!!!  I am so excited and happy that I haven’t been able to sleep.  

Very excited and thank you so much!

 

Update:

Hi Janna:  He arrived and he is PERFECT!  

 Thank you again!  Everything went well and you definitely have a great business model.  The breeders of Arlo contacted me and I am keeping them up to date on his US activities.  He was certainly well-loved and they seem thrilled that he has landed with me.  I can't wait until January when I bring him home to my barn. Thank you for helping me.  I think I am now done buying horses, but so glad I didn't wait another minute.  I have loved horses my entire life and worked very hard in order to be able to afford and enjoy my horses at this stage of my life!  Arlo's temperament is perfect for me and I can tell he will excel in dressage.  I'm thrilled!!!  

Very truly yours,

-Elizabeth in South Carolina
