Congrats to Kelly, and especially her husband, in Nevada:)
Just a little note to let you know that Taurus is doing wonderful. What a sweetheart. Thanks so much for the help. I will be in touch with you,
P.S. Our whole horse community just loves Taurus. I can't wait to get him to some shows. Thanks again,......He is my husband's pride and joy, His show Golden Palomino Morgan Stallion has now taken backseat to Taurus!
Update...
Boy has he grown, and what a beautiful stallion he is. I will send you some pictures of him....you'd be so pleased.
What a kind and wonderful disposition he has. I have had a lot of people inquire as to where I picked Taurus up from....I love to show them your website and tell them about the beautiful horses that you import.
Thanks again for the help, and hopefully we will get to meet in person...maybe when I purchase a mare.
Update...
Thank you Janna for being so gracious. You have been a world of help to me. I will recommend you to all that are interested with the breed because of your honesty and the quality of horses that you import. Thanks again for everything.

I just love our boy. I measured him last week and he is already at 16 hands! He is so smart. We have done all of his groundwork and I have been on his back lightly working him..... WOW! I have referred you to several of my friends. I hope that I can do business with you again.....possibly a mare in foal.
Thanks again for your friendship and staying in touch. Keep up the good work!

Congrats to Micaela in Mass, on her 3rd Friesian from BSF!!
HELLO JANNA!
I have two new cd's with images of Wietske G. and Dorette - they are all doing sooo well - we love them to death! I am not riding Dorette as she is too close to foaling, but Tombo-Ster, Frangelica, and Wietske G. are still able to be ridden and driven - however, if you know New England, you certainly know how frustrating these three winter months are in the Northeast - mud - snow- sleet - lost shoes - ice - freezing rain etc etc..., so we just take good care of the horses and wait for better weather! We do, however, turn them out all day daily, with blankets et al!
Some are together but for the time being, Frangelica is in her own paddock by her self, as Tombo bothers her too much - Wietske and Dorette are still together, while the Quarter Horses are in a different area. I have some images of Alejandro riding Tombo - what a classy, regal guy he is (Tombo) - we all love him like he is a King!! I just purchased his carriage - and my trainer wants us to go four-in-hand next year...help..!!!
I will send images ASAP! All are doing sooo well - please do not worry about them - they are really happy here, and sooo well fed, and loved, and pampered like royalties!
Thanks for sharing your wonderful Friesians with us!!

Congrats to Micaela in Mass, on her 4th Friesian from BSF!!
Hello Janna!
She has become very sweet with me and I kiss her constantly and braid her and groom her - she is just as sweet as the others, although Frangelica beats everybody on the sweet side! Tombo is also a clutsy, gigantic sweetheart - I am in love with alll of them! I have now sold 4 AQHA horses to make space for the Friesians, which both, Alejandro and I, are very in tune with: they just fit within our family and our personalities so well!
1 year later... We just came back from the Keuring ~ I am so excited to tell you that
out of 18-20 mares, Wietske G. placed third and is now a STER
mare!
Alejandro and I are very happy! Micaela in Mass

Congrats to Vicki in New Jersey on this Baroque Boy!
Hi Janna
Just to let you know I love Wiebe! Now renamed SIMON. He is quite the character. We are letting him settle in. . .but already he has won all our hearts! He can best be described as a big baby!
Thanks!!!
Update...
I will be purchasing another Friesian from you. I have what they call 'Friesian fever'. I love Weibe so much He is so innocent, forgiving and affectionate. And unbelievably a good ride. Thanks and I will be monitoring the site daily!
PS there sure seem to be a good number of New Jersians who are getting Friesians from you! maybe you can circulate a NJ based email to all of us here who have purchased horses from you. . .we could all talk Friesian and swap stories!!!
Update....
I LOVE my horse!!! He is like a loyal doggie - so innocent and trusting. . .unimaginable! I have never experienced this level sympatico with a horse. . .I am awestruck! Vicki in NJ |

Chosen by World Champion Saddleseat Equitation Rider, Heidi, in Florida!
Dear Janna and Karlein,
Thanks for your care, kindness, and expertise! I have waited a looooong time for this and absolutely could not have trusted a more worthy gang than you!
Update... He is an absolute joy to ride, so much power and really sweet at the same time. He drew a true "crowd" when I was working him..there were 11 people watching him and he is such a show off!! A true show horse..he is a saddlebred in a gorgeous manly Friesian body!! My husband has started acting like a horse at home because Edward has gotten so much attention lately, he is trying to gain back his place!! We are all having a blast with him...the barn help loves him, too!! XXXOOO
Update... 5 years later...
What a gem of a breed. He learned to jump, sit, kneel, bow and was the smartest horse I have ever had. Easy to break and a joy to ride...now in Conn. on the dressage circuit doing fabulously! ( photo of 8 yr old Lily riding).

Hi Janna,
We had such a wonderful time at your farm. The quality of the horses, you and your staff exceeded our expectations. I would recommend your farm to anyone who is in the market for a Friesian. Take care and thanks again. We will send some pictures soon.

Janna,
I am so much enjoying my lovely Friesian girl. She is boarded at a very nice establishment and we have a really good trainer. I will send you a photo as soon as I can get a good one.
The other owners at the stable call her "The Diva" as she so loves attention and knows she is beautiful.
Thank you for being the go-between through all the problems, etc., and for being the one who enabled me to finally have the horse of my dreams!

Hi Janna,
Jouke arrived safely and is the talk of the stable. When I returned in the afternoon to bring him a toy, there were a group of people gathered outside his stall. Everyone thinks he is magnificent! I've always thought that right from the start. Thanks so much for everything.
He is truly a dream come true.
Janna,
I thought you might like this picture of Jouke at his new home. He is a delight. Jouke had a fun day at his new home. Jenny rode him with a bareback saddle and he was great. We are all taking it slowly. We love him more each day. He is so affectionate and well behaved and a real pleasure to see each day. My older daughter Jenny had a lesson on Jouke. He was perfect and Jenny had a wonderful time. He is such a hard worker and really wants to please. Today Ashley has a grooming lesson. He is settling in beautifully and seems to really love us as much as we love him. It is extraordinary to have such an affectionate horse. He is truly very special.
Thanks for everything.
1 year later......................................................................
Janna,
Jouke is doing well and is progressing beautifully. Jouke is the kindest, well mannered horse I've ever known. He is such a lovey - and actually rest his head over your shoulder when you stand next to him.

Congrats to Karen in Seattle!
Janna, First of all, I'm SO EXCITED! Radisson is my dream horse! Thank you so much for being so nice to work with--you made it so easy for this first-time horse buyer!
Karen in Seattle
Update................................................................... Hi Jana!
Reinout (Radisson) is doing very well here in the soggy Pacific Northwest. Today is only our 3rd day of sunshine since he arrived in December. --He's taken it better than I have! In any case, he is a joy to have--I feel very fortunate! I do want to show him in some IFSHA shows this summer. Who knows, perhaps we'll be ready for a USDF show or two! many thanks!! Karen Hi Janna--when I saw you last November at Friesian nationals, I told you about Reinout and my hope that we would be showing this season. Well, Sunday at our USDF GMO's first big show of the season, Reinout won both his classes (Training Level Test Four and First Level Test 4) and was show high point winner with a 73.6% in First Four!! Very exciting--!!
I LOVE my boy!!
Cheers,
karen in Washington

Valerie Will Soon be Enjoying Cole!
HI Janna,
We purchased Cole from you about two months ago and just adore him. Hope all is well, and looking forward to seeing you perform this year.
Best,
Valerie
1 year later.................................
HI, Janna,
Cole is doing great, he has been under professional training with Susie Peacock for almost a year now. He placed well against other dressage horses, not just Friesians at the Del Mar show. She has him out on trails and starting Level 2. His temperament has gotten so calm that they use him for lessons as well in the barn when people need a confidence builder.
Cole has been a joy, and thank you for selling him to us.
All the best,
Valerie |

Congrats to Dara on her 2nd friesian from BSF!
Hello Janna,
A quick update on our two boys...in a word they are absolutely fabulous. Both have settled in just fine at a wonderful dressage facility in the Napa Valley. Durk is in full training with your trainer Caroline Frierman and in her words he is stupendous and should be shown in early spring. Twister is breath-taking to ride and completely content to be at his new forever home. Everyone at the barn has made very positive comments on how nice it is to have Friesians around and how beautiful they are.
Thanks again for two outstanding lovely boys!
Cheers,
Dara
