Hi Janna,

Just a quick note to let you know that Hugo (Maximus) arrived safely on Monday afternoon.  

He is beautiful and I love his size! 

Thanks much!

Update...
Just thought I’d give an update a bit on Max. He is doing great! Had him with a trainer last fall who LOVED him. He didn’t want me to bring him home and said he was his favorite horse in the barn. He even started him on cows a little. Have to try that here in Montana! He is an incredibly friendly horse and has discovered where my office window is and will come and look through the window at me and wait for me to come out for a visit. Quite the personality. Attached are a few winter photos. 

Update...
Hello Janna, Hope this finds you well! Max (Hugo) is doing great. We’ve been team penning and sorting on him for something to do in our cold Montana weather.

Hi Janna

I wanted to thank you and your staff for the help.   Cobalt, now Maurus is doing just fine and is such a fine young man. Thanks again… I will watch to see any other youngsters you may have coming in, as I would be interested.

Thanks Kindly

Robert

 I am so excited to get her!   She is going to be such a nice companion for me—I am really looking forward to the experience.   She is really precious.
As soon as I walked in she recognized me, the girls saw it—it was neat.   She was playing with me too—putting her face in my arm and holding it there all careful, she is such a neat horse. I love Sahara so much--she is absolutely wonderful. Thanks!

Update Two Years Later... Hi Janna, Sahara made 2nd Premie Ster at the Santa Rosa Keuring—I am SO proud of her. It was so much work, and was my gift to her for being such an awesome part of my life:) I hope you continue to match people, like me, with the friesians of their dreams---no one is as good at it as YOU!

We're so excited!! Thanks for everything!

Just a quick email to let you know how Tabe is doing. He settled in right away and I mean right away. From the minute he got off the trailer he was relaxed and made himself at home. He is definitely the most beautiful horse at the barn, and the friendliest. The tack we bought from you is beautiful and he looks stunning in it.  I still keep my eye on your website, I think we will be needing one more friesian  for trail riding. Also, my trainer loves Tabe, he keeps saying "why would anyone want to sell this horse?" You can be sure I won't be selling him! You have been a joy to work with, Janna!!!
Thanks,

Gin arrived!

I really like his head and his calm eye. He is very gentle. and very respectful of your space.

Update...
Really a Gentleman. Terry rode him the day before we yesterday. He looked great. Wonderful natural head set with lots of front end action. Really seems to enjoy it! We have a lady we are working with to maybe get her to do a side saddle demo at the friesian show at the state fair in august. We think Gin might be perfect for that. Nice smooth trot and canter. We really like him. I really like the way he feels and the peppy walk  and trot he has.

I cannot believe that my dream is finally coming true...thank you both so much for this wonderful opportunity! I want to assure you that Dutton will have a fabulous life as I am very diligent about taking the best care of my animals.I still cannot believe that Dutton is mine! I'm so excited!!! Thanks so much for talking me through it, I know you don't have to do that with all the folks you have lined up waiting to buy your horses.
Update... He is so magnificently beautiful, I could stay at the barn all day and just watch him! I did get the tack, thanks again for sending everything.Thanks so much for the opportunity to own this magnificent horse...this is one of the happiest days of my life!
6 months later...I wanted to give you an update on Dutton (now Cairo). He is such a super-special horse, so good and kind and sweet! I go to the barn every morning before work and do ground work with him and groom him. On weekends I spend hours with him . I'm taking weekly lessons with my trainer. He knows his name, comes when I call him, and follows me everywhere. He is the hit of the barn and the light of my life!
(My trainer) was so, so happy when she saw the tack you sent...the bit is the exact one she uses and she loved the saddle. She says it is clear he has led a good life and thinks he will make a great dressage horse.

Cairo (Dutton) is doing really well, he's such a good boy and teaching me to ride!

Thanks for all of your help and for the pictures. He is absolutely beautiful!!!! They (Jello and Phillips) are both such nice horses.
Update... The boys are doing very well and learning their English. The horses are both so beautiful and very well behaved. We put them together in the arena and they are now fast friends. They were very quickly itching each others' backs and nuzzling one another. We are looking forward to many new adventures with them. Our saddles and bridles are beautiful.Update.. Janna,Our Friesians are doing well,and Jackie an I have been taking dressage riding lessons.The boys are the favorites at the new barn. They are getting plenty of hugs and attention. The people there just can not get over their personalities and the interaction with them. These two just love the attention and always want more. The people at the barn were amazed we bought them after only seeing the video. I guess it was a risk, but Jackie and I both feel you did a great job picking the right horses for us. So many thanks for doing what you do, in the most honest, upfront way possible!!!

Congrats to Chad Kruger , lead singer of Nickelback!!

......Wow......just wow.....  Your ranch is simply amazing. It has been wonderful working with you in making our dream come true of owning such amazing and wonderful horses. I know when we are ready to add another horse to our family; we will definitely be looking to you and the magnificent horses you find. Thank you again for all your effort and help. Kitana and Dazzel are definitely the best looking horses at the barn and really make head turns when people see them.Also wanted to let you know the saddle arrived earlier in the week. It looks truly amazing. Kitana has been a complete joy, amazing to work with and enjoying the mud of Louisiana. Thank again for all you've done for us. Update...Kitana is an amazing horse. She is always so calm and centered. One of the other boarders at our barn calls her "Mother Earth" because she just makes everyone happy. She and Michael are learning how to trail ride together, and they take regular trips into the woods behind our fenced pastures to explore. She is perfect for him.  She never spooks out of control or fights with him, even when she doesn't want to do what he's asking. Everyone that stops at the barn just falls in love with them (Dazzel and Kitana).
1 year later...Kitana is doing awesome. She is such a dream and I love being able to spend time with her. I am coming along in my riding skills and she appreciates it. She is so gentle and understanding that I am learning still.
Update 1 1/2 years later...
Just had an awesome time with Kitana. She is doing so well and we even got to do some trail work in the rain no less. We are riding in the evenings now when it is cooler and she has not been up all night and ready to rest. I enjoy spending time with her and working with her. She has been such a joy and blessing to have. You are truly a blessing to the horse community, Janna, and i wanted to say  thank you for matching the RIGHT friesians with us. Home run. - Michael in Louisiana

He is a really nice horse ....he is a sweet boy!

Thanks for making my biggest lifetime dream finally come true!

Oscar was worth waiting a lifetime for.  When we first met, he bowed, I bowed, we touched heads and hearts and then he tried to follow me everywhere.  I rode him without hesitation.  In a new environment, in an arena filled with obstacles, he carried me beautifully wherever I asked.  We communicated perfectly.  After 46 years of dreaming about him, he has finally arrived.  Thank you, Janna.

Update... His talent, character and genetic gifts are now so obvious that there is no chance of me wishing that I had a more flashy or poetic mover. Next month makes a year since I bought him from you, the best year of my life. And you were right, he is a real 'workout', but daily 'Oscarsize' is why I feel more like I am turning 25 instead of 52! Thanks again and again.
