Thanks for everything!

You are just wonderful to work with...... I'm loving him! He has placed trust in me very quickly.  He's a good boy. I'm happy. Thank you! So gorgeous!

Earlier today I was at the barn where my mare is and met a former client of yours. She also loves her friesians. Thank you for all your help! And thanks for sharing this wonderful boy with me.

I am thrilled that I was the one to be blessed with Salvatore becoming a part of my life. There was just something about him that really clicked with me! He’s a very sweet boy and wants to please—and he’s hilarious at the hitching rail. He’s always trying to nuzzle me when I’m grooming, tacking, or washing him. A very curious and in your pocket guy! My sister Brenda even got on him for a few minutes a few days ago. She hasn’t been on a horse in 5 years or more, but after watching me ride she felt comfortable trusting him. He was awesome with her.

I’m really having a great time with him. Thanks again!!! I’m very happy with my “pony” and know we’ll have a great time together.

I’m excited to have “Tiny” in my life:)

My experience with Janna and purchasing my dream friesian was nothing but positive. Buying a horse sight unseen and importing can feel overwhelming...all the questions, the what ifs, and the unknowns but Janna will ease your anxiety and make the process flawless. Janna was always there for me, answering all my questions with an immediate response. She is kind, honest, knowledgeable and has your BEST interest at heart. You can rest assured that your friesian will be athletic, kind, willing and have a solid mind. She genuinely cares and interested in updates. I've had my boy now for about 4 months and she still goes out of her way for me. Furthermore, the team of people she works with during the importing process were just as helpful and kind as her. There are no words to express my appreciation... Tanya in Vancouver

PS: He was helping me study tonight. He is my big baby and I can't get enough of him. Thank you Janna, he is my dream come true.

Oh my goodness, I must be dreaming!!! I'm speechless!!!! Pinch me please!Wow-oh my goodness!!!!!!! Lol, he is an absolute dream. I love him !!! 💕💕 I Can't hardly see for the tears in my eyes........You are so sweet.... Thank you Janna! I appreciate your patience and guidance through this very new and exciting time for us.! it👍🏻👍🏻😄😄😄😄🐴💞 Thank you Janna💗💗💗💗

Update...
Hi Janna, I can't believe we have had our beautiful boy for a week already!!! He has settled into his new home very quickly. He is such a brave, patient boy!!! We love him, oh SOOOOO much!!!!❤️️❤️️ Everyone at the ranch has been by his corral to say hello and want to know where he came from and more about the Friesian breed. His mane is AMAZING!!!! Just gorgeous!! I couldn't believe how much hair fell out of his braid as I undid it for the first time. Unbelievable!!! More importantly though, Ducati is just as beautiful on the inside. He is patient, well mannered and very sweet. These pics were taken the second day he arrived....... The stud chain was not needed but my trainer wanted it at first as we became acquainted with him and his behavior around the mares. He is a love!💕💕 Thank you Janna for this amazing creature that has come into our lives!! We love this precious boy!!....... Very gratefully yours, Melanie and Ed in San Luis Obispo, CA

Update: In today's mail, another happy customer..."Hi Janna,

I just wanted to let you know that Ducati and I are doing well. It’s been a great year with him! I’ve really had to step up as a beginner and be there for him. I’ve worked very hard with my trainer on a daily basis, having to work through challenges and fears but enjoying the journey and forever thankful for my sweet, gorgeous boy! I’ve done a few schooling shows and lately have been enjoying a weekly quadrille class. We plan to form a team and compete this year, intro level for now and hopefully just have some fun with it. 
Thank you Janna, for Ducati. He’s such a love and a dream come true!!!
All my best,
Melanie

Janna,
He is amazing! I rode him for the first time yesterday. He is perfect for me!! Thank you!

I will be posting pics of him in my horse farm website as well and thanking Black Sterling Friesians for such great assistance with finding me the perfect Friesian for me!!! Everyone who comes to the farm comments on how beautiful he is. Then they pet him and he is like a dog!! Such a gentle horse!!

Update...
Janna,
Everyone that comes to the farm falls in love with him!! We hacked around the neighborhood and were stopped by several people who wanted to know what breed he was. Even grown men were falling all over him!!!
Thank you again for providing such amazing horses for people!!

Update 1 year later... Janna, Ciro is such an amazing horse! I was a new rider when I purchased him. He is the perfect horse for me and I love him beyond words! Thank you! -Charlene in Texas

Janna,

She is a beauty for sure! She handles like a dream. Every time i go to the barn i am in awe of her, she is so beautiful and friendly. She loves attention and my husband is just as enamored of her as i am, and actually even EVERYONE that meets her!

THANK YOU for everything. I look forward to a continued relationship with you:)

Thanks again,

I recently showed my Friesian, acquired from BSF, at a hunter-jumper show in N Calif, and am having the time of my LIFE with a horse this woman chose specifically for me; hence I just had to share my personal experience with Janna Weir, who I have immense respect for, as an accomplished equestrian, and a woman that really CARES about her customers, and their horses. There isn’t an individual selling Friesian horses in N America that has the track record.. I was impressed to discover this woman won in Madison Sq Gardens, was chosen to represent the U.S on a World Cup team, and recipient of FHANA Presidents trophy...i chose to work with janna because she isn’t a “horse trader”, she is an amazing equestrian herself, that just happens to have a passion for the breed I fell in love with, and a knack for matching riders with horses. I searched the internet and did my due diligence, and I couldn’t find anyone with her record of accomplishments, not to mention in looking at her testimonials, I discovered many of her “competitors” actually purchased their first Friesians from her Black Sterling Friesians. After spending time in Janna’s world, it is clear that while she is PASSIONATE about her horses, selling horses is not what this woman has to do, to make money. I told Janna exactly what I was looking for, and trusted her to match me with a horse that would be able to meet my needs…and not only did she find me an AMAZING well trained, perfectly healthy horse—she found me a horse that has FAR SURPASSED my expectations, and has truly brought me more happiness to my life than I could have ever thought possible. Even long after my check was cashed, janna is always available to answer my questions, talk on the phone, has had the patience of Job for dealing with my 101 questions, and she made a point of coming to watch us compete in the jump off last weekend, at the Sonoma Horse Park. There isn’t anyone else I would consider trusting with a friesian purchase sight unseen. She is the real deal, and I couldn’t be happier doing business with janna. I will certainly be using HER for my next friesian purchase!! - Shannon in santa cruz

 I want to let you know Karst and Cornelis made my life and took me to places I never dreamed of achieving. Thank you Janna you will never know what you did for me and my dreams. God Bless you. You made me the happiness person in the world. Something I thought would never happen after losing my sister. A Friesian was our dream. You allowed me and her from heaven have two......Thanks again Janna!

Shirley, Dark Knight Stables in SC.

LOVE my new pony !!!!!! He has what it takes!!!!

FANTASTIC canter and trot.  Nico is sooooo smart and willing and what fantastic gaits. I am having a blast with him !!!!! I have never ridden such a forward thinking friesian before. Thanks lots.

Sue, Grand Prix trainer in Colorado

He is PHENOMENAL!!!! I really truly cannot thank u enough.  I took him on a hand walk along our canals etc yesterday (following a group of riders). Got tired of walking, tied the lead rope up to the halter & hopped on! He was SUPER omg! Lead the whole group. I am completely in love!

THANK YOU Janna Weir!!!!!

Quick Update... He is absolutely positively amazing!!!!!! We rode down a trail bordering the Everglades, and meandered through our 160 acre farm...out on the race track, past all kinds of scary stuff. He never once put a foot wrong. Only four years old, and he led our trail riding group the whole time! I simply cannot thank you enough.  And I love the bridle too! 

Update... Just wanted to share our Halloween fun with you! LOVE my boy Mel - can't thank you enough -Trish in Fla

Hi Janna, I just wanted to thank you again for Remy.  He has won over everyone's heart at his new barn!  Thanks! He is sooooo sweet.  I cannot thank you enough for him! Wanted to let you know that I participated in a dressage clinic this weekend with a local renowned dressage instructor and she loved him. Said he could easily do Prix St George and have no trouble with passage or piaffe, and she was very impressed with his moves especially his canter.
Update... Took him to another dressage clinic with the same FEI level instructor as before. This time She rode him and told me that she felt he could be Grand Prix level and said she would like to buy him. She didn't appreciate how good he was until she rode him. She said one of the most willing and capable Friesians she has ridden. Can't believe how fortunate I am.
Update...This year he is showing first, second and he has an amazing musical freestyle. He is schooling changes, half passes, canter pirouettes, piaffe and passage.
Update: Claudia Novick and Marco Von Laar finish the 2012 show season with honors!! Claudia and Marco, aka "Remy", started this show season with record scores and continued their winning streak throughout the year!!! At their first show in NC, they received not one, but two 80% from judge Kay Meredith; the high scores of the show. For the remainder of the season, they won multiple blue ribbons and in most cases were the high score of the day for the judge they showed under. As the season came to a close, Remy and Claudia swept their first championship in Raleigh, NC where Remy became the 2012 NCDCTA Open Training level Champion! And at the final show of 2012, Remy and Claudia placed 5th at the Region 1 USDF Dressage Championships in one of the most competitive classes, Open Training Level. And this is only the beginning for this winning combination. Already scoring in the 70's at 1st level and claiming all blues.
Update...He won the IFSHA first level and freestyle at the National Show this week. Won All Breeds Freestyle and sixth in country overall. People were going crazy over his conformation.

Update...Last night Remy won the region 1 USDF first level freestyle with a 74%. He will now compete in the USDF nationals In Kentucky. Here is Remy with his reserve championship freestyle win at US dressage nationals. He was one of the horses featured on USDF home page for the show.

Update, 7 years later.... Remy is awesome. Showing 4th with his amateur rider but he could show Intermediate 1 with the trainer! He is just an amazing horse!

I can’t tell you how very excited I am about this!  I feel very blessed!!

You will probably be sick of me giving you updates on Maserati (I did that with my last horse but I’m not so sure the prior owner was that excited about it). But I know YOU are different!

Update...
Hi Janna, hope your trip to the Netherlands was successful. Maserati is doing splendid. He is already looking for me when I go to the barn and he comes when I call AND he is still with my pony. who he adores.  He’s been a very good boy and my trainer rode him for the first time yesterday with a smile from ear to ear.

Update... My trainer has been riding and she LOVES him. I just wanted to let you know he is happy and he loves the work.

7 Months Later...
Dave (Maserati) is doing wonderfully and everyone loves him! I had a trainer out last week who writes for Dressage Today  and she said Dave was by the far the nicest Friesian she had seen or sat on. I purchased your saddle package:) All the Best, Annette in R.I.

Janna,

You have made this process extremely easy for me which I very much appreciate. Hope to meet you in person some day!!!

Update...
Hi Janna, Nick arrived this morning. He looks like he traveled well and and is settling into the barn nicely, He is very sweet! Thanks again for all the help!
