She’s here and she’s absolutely beautiful!

I can’t thank you both enough for getting her here and taking care of her along the way.

Steve, the transporter, was great to meet, and we have a lot of things in common. Liza (renamed Lillian) is doing great! We all love her already!

We hope to work with all of you again!

Janna-

Helmet, "renamed Zane" has settled in beautifully.  He has been receiving lots of attention and affection, as a couple friends came by to visit. He is so trusting, kind, calm and cannot wait for us to get to know each other more and more.  I think he had a sugar cube, an apple and carrots for the first time.   He is gonna love the California way of of being spoiled!!! 

We can hardly wait to lunge him, hopefully next week, and then for Amber to start working the magic.  

He is a big boy, mainly in height.  He isn’t bulky, and does look like a sport model, which I adore.  I think he might get to 16.3 or l7 hands by the time he is done.   Well, so far so good:):) 

UPDATE:
This is my Baby Zane. He is only 5 but has the

Janna!  This horse! Absolutely incredible! He just arrived --Got on him today after my trainer, he is absolutely incredible! I am amazed. Thank you!!!!  It is only day 4 after his arrival and he is super settled. I think he likes it here. 

HE IS PERFECT FOR ME!!!! He is truly magnificent. Dreams do come true!! I still have goosebumps from riding him! That was two hours ago! So impressed, just had to say it.

He is the MOST gentle of gentleman! He's solid. Sooo pleased with him. As you know, buying a horse off videos can be tricky.  Thanks for being upfront about everything!

Waited all my life for a horse like this.

Update 5 mos later: 

I have Onyx the Grand Prix Friesian from Black Sterling Friesians! He arrived a complete gentleman. He is showing me the way everytime I ride him. I am having so much fun. He has not put a foot out of place. I am thrilled with my purchase. Janna was up front and easy to communicate with at all times. Definitely worth every penny.
Thank you Janna and Black Sterling Friesians. Onyx (Karst fan Mounehus /Kyan) is a dream horse ?"

Ryder is here... got here about 8:45pm and he’s absolutely beautiful! Real sweet, kind eye, very chill, and love his grass hay! So he’s settling in and we just wanted to say thank you again! He's so sweet and gentle!!!!  He was reaching out to my 1 yr old granddaughter who is already loving horses, so he's a REAL GEM!

Update: Hi Janna… Just wanted to send you some pictures of Ryder and his new family! He’s settling in very well, and he’s being a very good boy! He really loves people hanging around him and he’s very personable. My granddaughter loves him as well as my daughter… 3 generations of Friesian lovers! Thanks Janna for such a sweet and steady boy! ??

Hi, Janna,

Wanted to let you know that Ember is out of quarantine at Lexington and has arrived at the training facility near Indianapolis. I haven't had the opportunity to meet her in person yet, but I love everything I am hearing and seeing in pictures and video.

Thank you for your role in making this happen!!!!!

Hi, Janna. Wanted to let you know that Ember received 2e Ster at the keuring yesterday. I couldn’t be happier with this sweet girl. To top it off, her young Maurus filly won Champion filly!

Hi Janna…..

I just wanted to check in and let you know how AMAZING JOVANN IS DOING!!! He’s everyone’s fave at the barn. We had a great trail ride today and Saturday going to the beach with him. He is soooooooooo precious and I am head over heals for my boy.I’ve been telling everyone if you want to get a good quality and absolute special horse …to contact you!!!

…I’m always raving about you because JOVANN is EXACTLY as advertised and a smooth journey here…. I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU HOW GRATEFUL I AM TO YOU, For my beautiful boy!!!

Update.....Here are a few pics of JOVANN at Doran Beach. JOVANN was just a gentleman and a perfect example for my friend's horse, since he never went to the beach before….JOVANN is literally the absolute love of my life. He comes running and whinnying to me , even if he is in a delicious full grass pasture (he also knows my car when I pull in.) He’s so smart. He knows now when I pull into the barn…..and follows me around like a puppy ……. If he’s in his stall with paddock attached, he always gives me a super loud whinny and he loves lots of kisses on his sweet muzzle …. Such a love bug. He is just the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!!!!! We have connected so deeply, which after loosing my mare, I honestly didn’t think it was possible (I did the Tevis Cup twice with her) …..JOVANN SAVED ME AND MY BROKEN HEART OVER LOOSING HER several years ago ……Thank you for everything you did to get me this angel of a boy. I taught him some tricks too. I love when he lies down and lets me sit on him and hug his neck and scratch his favorite areas. He is so adorable and so spoiled ( in a healthy way) but he deserves it…….-N in CA

Thank you for everything!!!  I am so excited and happy that I haven’t been able to sleep.  

Very excited and thank you so much!

Update:

Hi Janna:  He arrived and he is PERFECT!  

 Thank you again!  Everything went well and you definitely have a great business model.  The breeders of Arlo contacted me and I am keeping them up to date on his US activities.  He was certainly well-loved and they seem thrilled that he has landed with me.  I can't wait until January when I bring him home to my barn. Thank you for helping me.  I think I am now done buying horses, but so glad I didn't wait another minute.  I have loved horses my entire life and worked very hard in order to be able to afford and enjoy my horses at this stage of my life!  Arlo's temperament is perfect for me and I can tell he will excel in dressage.  I'm thrilled!!!  

Very truly yours,

Janna: I adore Arlo (Ferdinand “Ferdie“)! He has The Best Temperament! He is so sweet and adorable.

Friesians are simply the best horses for those who value temperament. I just love him!! Thank you for everything!! -Elizabeth in S.C.

We went to NJ today to meet our YFKE. And we are super pleased with her. Everyone at the facility is in love with her. She is getting hand walked and lunged everyday for exercise. And we were able to take our feed and supplements to her so they will be feeding her what we want her to be on. -nothing but the best! She is being very well taken care of there. We did receive a couple bags of blankets (I think 6 total) for her which was a surprise. Her cooler and ribbons we have also received. Attached are a couple pics. Thank you for her!!!!!!!! Debbie and Bryan

Thanks so much, I am so excited about Darius!! 

Darius is more wonderful than I ever could have imagined! Thank you for helping me find my unicorn! Please let his breeders/trainers know he is in his forever home and will be cared for and loved forever. Thank you all again!

Darius is phenomenal. He has been unbelievably quiet, mellow and calm. Such a sweet boy- I cannot believe he is only 3.5! He loves everyone.  

Thanks for selling me this horse. He truly is incredible!
