Congrats to Sarah in MI!
Hi Janna,Thank you for the wonderful help with finding Jemko.He is absolutely fantastic. So gentle, so quiet, friendly, eager to learn... my daughter totally loves him!!!!!!
UPDATE:
Almost a year ago, I purchased a Friesian gelding from Janna at Black Sterling Friesians. My trainer encouraged us to look at Frieisans because the breed is known for having a calm and willing temperament and would be a good match for my daughter. Janna was recommended from several friends in the riding community as having years of experience at providing quality horses, and as being excellent at matching horse and rider.
Now, I know the breed is fantastic to look at, but I wasn’t looking for a pretty horse (even though he is really beautiful); I was looking for a good horse. I’ll admit that I was nervous with the idea of purchasing a horse that we didn’t get a chance to ride, but the testimonials from trusted friends who had done the same through Janna eased my mind. Being relatively new to horses, and, as a mother, thinking about a big decision (not only financially; safety was my #1 concern, then would the horse be ridable by my 14-year-old, would their personalities be compatible, and so many other concerns), I must have asked Janna a million questions. She patiently answered all of them. She listened well to the qualities that were most important to us and helped us select a horse that was at the right level with the right temperament. I remember asking her for more video footage, and despite the time zone changes, she got back to us really quickly with just what we were looking for to ease this nervous mother’s concerns.
Janna is professional, extraordinarily knowledgeable, and has a knack for the match!
We welcomed our sweet Jemko to the barn in September. He arrived at midnight on a very dark breezy night. He calmly walked off the trainer, led by my 14-year-old daughter, calmly walked right into the barn, and entered his stall without hesitation. Wow- Janna was not exaggerating when she said he was like the family Labrador! Jemko is the most gentle, calm, agreeable horse I have ever encountered. My daughter could not be happier! He is in a dressage training program, and he puts forth a willing attitude, wants to please, and is working so hard to “package” his big frame into collection at each gait- I’m so pleased with his progress! He really is just exactly what my daughter wanted, at the appropriate level of training, with the best matched temperament- A+ for Janna! Thank you so much for matching my daughter with Jemko- he brings such joy to our lives! Here's one of my favorite pictures of Elsa and Jemko (she's riding him bareback, and she has this big smile on her face, and he looks so relaxed- it kind of tells the story of their relationship.) He really is the SWEETEST horse I have ever encountered!" -Sarah in Michigan

Grats to Micha in CA!
Hello Janna, Just a quick note to thank you, once again, for our beautiful Friesian! Namke arrived beautiful and healthy and is absolutely stunning! She is sweeter than described, and the perfect match for the kids. Thank you Janna!! For those of you out there, perhaps a little unsure about purchasing a horse from Fairytale Friesian Finder Service sight unseen, allow me to ease your mind...Janna is an absolute professional and cares about the horses so much, she, too wants you to be happy. So, let her guide you and get ready to be surprised! Not only, will your horse arrive absolutely beautiful, but the entire process is a well oiled machine! If everyone handled their business like she does, we would not have to have reviews at all :) Can’t wait to the baby to be born!! -Micha

Headed to Ariz for Lynda!
Tate (now Raven) says hi! Sweet, sweet boy. Hoping to get up to cool Flagstaff within the next week or so. It's been horribly hot (110+) over here-but he's settled in easily. He's best buds with my Irish Draught gelding, so those two get turned out together; sort of funny to see the 20 year old teaching the youngster "the ropes" (like how to get gates to-maybe? Hopefully?- open, by pushing on them with one's nose... :-)
He's doing great-sweet, sweet horse!
Love him to death!!!!!
-Lynda in Arizona

Grats to Delinda in TX
I’m over the moon excited about him! He is everything I had dreamed of! Im thinking of renaming him Magic, because he is magical! I always wanted a trick trained horse, even before I knew about Friesians. Now, I have a trick trained Friesian!! It’s been a great, smooth process! He’s beautiful, gentle and sweet. Everyone is so impressed with how calm he is. The entire process from when I first contacted you about Verdi thru having him transferred to the U.S. from Europe went very smoothly. Thank you for finding this magnificent horse for me. I look forward to many fun, joy filled years ahead with Verdi. -Delinda in Texas
