Sietse (now renamed Warlock) is the greatest horse I could ever imagine. He is great around kids and my 9 year old son is starting to ride him. He is awesome on trail and never spooks and has a great disposition. Thanks so much for getting him for me.

Soft Fury is EXACTLY as you described him, bombproof, perfect on trails, drop dead GORGEOUS, and my pocketbook is thanking me for buying him from YOU!'

We require horses that will be suitable in a ring with all kinds of noises, loud music, lights flashing, smoke machines going, etc. We found them at Black Sterling!"

My entire life I have dreamed of owning a Friesian horse, even before I knew what they were I knew that I would have one in my lifetime. Inspired by just knowing that someone close to my home was actually housing Friesians, we made the jaunt, guided by intuition to your stable and there is where I met Sander. I knew it the first time I saw him, something I can't quite explain but I knew he would be my horse. This is a lifelong dream and intention that has come true for me, and I can't tell you how grateful to you and Ron I am for help making this happen. Sander has been an unbelievable blessing and I am so happy we found each other. Thanks Janna and Ron!!!

It is nice to have horses added to our show that we can integrate quickly due to their solid dressage training foundation.

Tjeerd, our first Friesian, has only been a part of our family for a month, but already he is my best friend. He is kind, energetic, fair,sweet, gorgeous, willing, and has a great deal of spirit. Watching him float-trot around playfully shaking his head in the pasture, or thundering over the hill with the other geldings, always lifts my heart. For a very recent gelding (who became one only six weeks ago in Holland) he is remarkably well-behaved. He is taking to his Parelli Natural Horsemanship training with ease, and, though green, is doing very well under saddle. He is wonderful fun. If I could I would spend all day with him! My mother and I are his co-owners, and he is the horse we have dreamed of all our lives. What a privilege to get to play with such a delightful steed! I can't wait to take him to our first medieval games tournament, and our first dressage show . . . life is good when you are in the company of a Friesian. Thank you Janna, for matching us to the perfect horse for our needs. Someday we hope to find a mare with you!

Alas, having three Friesians proved to be one too many Boards to pay, and I sold him last month to the nicest lady in the world (well besides you!) and he is the Prince of her stable :) . . . a sweeter horse you will never meet.
I wanted you to know that Tjeerd appears in a cameo in "Dark Horse", if and when you ever see the movie, he is the horse at end in the white trailer. Beautiful closeup of his lovely loving face . . . sniff . . . oh, how I miss him! Thanks for 5 years with such a fabulous First Friesian!
