Just wanted to let you know Nik is doing great. He’s spoiled as can be of course. Here is a picture of our ride from Mother’s Day. He’s been such a good boy. I love him so much 😍.  I’ve learned a lot being a Friesian owner 😂. Hope all is well with you!

Thank you so much and have a fabulous day, Teresa in Texas

Janna,
Thank you SO MUCH for walking me through the process of purchasing my stallion sight unseen from Europe, and taking my hundreds of phone calls,  holding my hand through the quarantine process, sending me pictures of you riding my beautiful stallion on the beach in Holland after i purchased him, and continuing to stay in touch with me and helping me with every little detail, including sending me the bridle you rode him in!  I cannot thank you enough for this special stallion, and i promise, Rio and i will keep in touch with you!!

I recommend to anyone looking for a REAL fairytale friesian, contact Janna at Blacksterlingfriesians.com....  she has the BEST, and has been in business the longest!

Douwe arrived at LAX this week, and went straight to his new forever home, near Malibu, to another happy customer: "Douwe is doing great!! He is a really sweet boy.  And my new tack came today too!!!! Best day ever. Douwe is extremely sweet and affectionate and loves to be social. He is very gentle and sweet to all the animals that come up to visit him (I think my two donkeys are in love. They visit with him every day).Thank you for being so patient and for always keeping me in mind when finding Friesians you think I'd like. I am very excited to finally have my Friesian. Thank you!!

Thank you in making our dream come true of owning a friesian!!! We love her so much.
Update.... Janna, I am returning to do business with you, because you made the whole process of buying a horse a positive experience. There are so many nuisances to purchasing a horse, that you helped me through.Thanks!

Update....Mark (my husband) told me, the best horse out of all the breeds are Friesians. So I started to research them and I started my quest to find one. Which lead me to you. We bought "Marissa" (Wren).  Little did we know that decision to buy her was going to change our lives forever.  She arrived to NY after traveling from California,  I remember when she got off the trailer, she was 3 yrs old, long legs with wavy mane and with big brown eyes and long eyelashes, looking at us to say " Are you my new owners? Where am I? Where are my friends?" My husband and I just loved her, and she made our hearts melt. She developed such a strong bond with Mark. He would ride her bare back to take her trail riding all over the property. At our barn Wren was a favorite, there would be many children around her. The children loved Wren. I would sometimes walk into the barn and a whole crowd of children would be around her laughing and giggling. Wren would look at me smiling in her way with tongue off the side entertaining the children, as they gave her treats. Wren would take the treats so gently from all the children, being so careful, it was so amazing....Wren passed away from a sudden illness. We had just returned from a dressage show and we had won first place blue ribbons. Wren did phenomenally well!! We were so proud. ... Janna-- Thank you so much for selling Wren to us. We loved her so much, more than we could ever express. Janna, we think you are an extraordinary beautiful woman. Thank you for passing your love for Friesians to other people.  I bought a very special mare from you and I am hoping that I will buy another special mare from you again. The horses you sell are loved more than you could ever know. You're truly a special person with a very special gift. I will always be eternally grateful for the connection that I have had with you. Because you brought one of the greatest loves of our lives, to us. Eternally Grateful, Nicole in NY
