CONGRATS to Gerry in Anaheim!!
Hi Janna,
Taling is doing terrific. He is an amazing boy. And we are looking to get another one from you in the near future!
Update...
This SUPER sweet friesian gelding we imported and sold 4 years ago, helped bring this amazingly successful dressage partnership together (see article in Riding Magazine)...like many of our clients, Gerry's path back to horses began with identifying the Friesian as an ideal type for him. “I read about their nature and strengths and they seem to be very solid horses, calm in nature and not delicate in body or mind, to the point where I’m not easily going to be able to screw him up,” he laughs gently. “I thought it would be a forgiving horse and a great type for me to learn with.” Our 9 yr old friesian,Taling’s, clear talent for dressage triggered the happily fateful partnership with olympic hopeful, Sarah Lockman, that began a dressage odyssey our friesian customer is fully enjoying. Sarah, an FEI dressage trainer and rider, didn’t hang up when a total stranger who knew nothing about the discipline called to ask if she would take on his new Friesian. She said yes to giving it a whirl and fast-forward a few years... Sarah and that Friesian, Taling Van De Oostwal, earned a 73 percent at Prix St. Georges. Sarah is now competing our friesian, Taling, Intermediare 1!

Sold to FLA
Where do I start? Well first off, I was very nervous about buying a horse that I had only seen on the internet. I didn't even want to call you because his picture was so gorgeous, and I knew that by just talking to you I would fall in love with him. After speaking with you, my mind was put at ease. You are so knowledgeable about the breed. You answered all my questions, and more. During the whole buying and shipping process everything went exactly how you said it would. You were always available to answer all my phone calls, and suppress any worries that I had!!! Because of your experience and honesty I knew exactly what to expect. People told me I was crazy buying a horse sight unseen, but I felt that I could totally trust you. Jillis is incredible, I couldn't dream a better horse. Everyone at my barn adores him, he draws you in with his sweet personality. I am really glad that I bought Jillis through you and appreciate the fact that you are still available for my questions. It is wonderful to have such an awsome contact! I can't say it enough, what a great experience it was to buy Jillis through you. YOU ARE FANTASTIC!

Congrats to Pat in Ky, owner of Bob Hubbard Horse Transport!!
As for my experience, buying a Friesian from Janna .... I have recommended you to numerous people! Both mares were exactly what you had described to me over the phone. Both were of the quality you said they were and both had the temperaments you described. I'm extremely happy with the mare I chose. Should I decide to add a 5th Friesian to my barn ( and we all know how that happens), I would contact Janna and feel I didn't need to go anywhere else. It's nice to know buying a horse can still be a pleasant experience.
Update......
I have to say the mare is far more then I could have hoped for. Somebody put a lot of time into this horse and it really paid off. Even my vet said she's the most well mannered mare he's ever dealt with. HAVEN'T FOUND ANYTHING SHE ISN'T WILLING TO DO YET. NEXT WEEK WE'RE HEADING FOR THE BEACH FOR A RIDE. THE FOAL IS DOING VERY WELL AND HAS A PERSONALITY VERY SIMILAR TO MY CHOCOLATE LAB. SHE REALLY IS A POCKET PONY.

Cristine Has a New Partner for Life!
I do absolutely adore my big Chocolate Bunny. He is really a sweet treasure. I decided that his true name..." HARKOS" has a kind of dignity and substance to it. I can just read my name and his, in print, winning some sort of horsey award or some such..grin. "Cristine Varney and Harkos, found at last, enjoying themselves off the course exploring a sunlit meadow with wildflowers"..or something like that..smile.
I must confess, finally seeing Black Sterling Friesians in person was really cool. I have been looking at your website for so long. Speaking of which...you have some lovely new beauties offered for sale! You didn't oversell how sweet and friendly he is...Such a huge, big-footed chocolate bunny. I guess I say bunny because his nose and mouth are so soft and velvety. Friendship and much goodwill,
Cristine

Grats to Sue in Fla!!!
What a superstar, thank you!
Can’t wait for him to come home.
I had the privilege of trying my boy in the Netherlands prior to buying him. I received lots of support and encouragement from Janna and Wendy, I told them exactly what I needed to build back up my confidence and they delivered, nothing was too much trouble. This morning he arrived, thank you Nicole,Janna and Wendy for the hand holding. I just keep staring at him, I can’t believe he is mine. He is a dream come true. My new trainer thinks I struck gold!
If you want a want a quality Friesian, look no further than Fairytale Friesians.

Happy Anniversary to Rhonda in MI!!
Janna, I wanted to reach out to you just to say THANK YOU! Voit and Valiant are absolutely awesome boys! Your description of their breathtaking appearance and their mild and very willing temperament were spot on. Your help in finding the right horses and helping make the day a surprise for my wife was absolutely the best. You were very instrumental in making mine and Rhonda's anniversary a VERY special day. From our initial contact to the driver that brought our boys home, everyone involved was fantastic!
Again, thank you to YOU, and all of your support people that were involved in this transaction to ensure the safe travels of our new family members! They already have a very special place in our hearts.
All the best, Mark in Michigan

2nd friesian sold to Mark in MI!
Thank you for the tack. The boys are doing awesome! A lot of fun. Both boys are smart!!
They come running to my whistle.
We are going to load them in the trailer this weekend for some trail riding. They are so curious!!
They talk to us when we come out of the house. Fun stuff!! Thank you,
-Mark in Michigan
Janna,
Thank you, Voit and Wiebe are WONDERFUL!!!
Voit has a sweet tooth; he loves peppermints and sugar cubes. Weibe was not interested in peppermints but he loves sugar cubes. After a day of peppermints and sugar cubes we started giving them peppermint flavored protein treats and they both love the protein treats!
We plan to take the boys to our cabin up north; we have a lot of trails to ride there.
Thank you so much!

Grats to Christine in Virginia!!!
Janna-
Thank you so much for your help, kindness and your patience with us. We are super happy to have a new friesian in our family. Sven went straight from the Netherlands, to us. He’s very very special. Anyone can see that! In fairytales, i always dreamed of getting the horse, NOT the prince, Sven goes beyond anything i had dreamed of!!! I love him so much already! He is a sweetheart! I bonded with him right away--it’s very hard for me to leave him.. I spend 4 hours with him daily! He is REALLY magnificent and so sweet to groom. Everybody that meets him is falling for him. And he’s a very fast learner! I am amazed how much he likes to see me! He stays with me in the paddock. He is super sweet.THANK YOU!!
Update.... Sven is doing fantastic. I am his number one fan. I can’t imagine my life without him. I wanted to thank you, again for putting him on my path!!!!

Headed to Beartooth Ranch in Montana!
Thank You! I'm so excited! I'm going to board him at the Beartooth Ranch. It used to be owned by Mel Gibson.
THANK YOU!!!! I love him! I've had a very challenging last couple years full of heartbreak and I think Tariq is going to help heal my ♥ï¸!
Update: Oh my gosh! I love him! I took him on a 13 mile poker ride Sunday. It was so cold like 35 degrees with crazy high winds and he did amazing!! He is a real attention getter! I love the dressage saddle! I'm just so pleased!
When I decided that I was ready to purchase my dream horse, I knew he would be a Friesian. I spent several months looking at horses online and even traveled to see a couple in person. When I found Tariq on the Fairytale Friesian website, I just knew he was the one for me. Janna was so easy to work with, making the whole process run smoothly. She even offered me other Friesians to consider before letting me make my decision final. Tariq has been nothing short of amazing for me. When it comes time for me to purchase another Friesian, I will be looking for Janna Weir! THANK YOU!

Hi Janna,
Max has arrived on the second coldest day of the year! But he was a trooper, once we got the blanket on he went to check out the new digs.
Love him, he is wonderful!
Thanks for everything Janna!!
Update....
Hi Janna, Max and I out on our very first trail ride together. He was a rock star, going through heavy bush and really swampy areas, all maintaining his cool, and thinking through things. Love this boy!!!
