Our Friesians are registered with the Friesian Horse
Society ("FHS"), the North American affiliate of the Friesenpferde-Zuchtverband
e.V. ("FPZV"). FHS is a non-profit organization whose
mission is to both promote and preserve the beautiful Friesian horse through strict
registration standards. FPZV is recognized and approved by the German government and Federation National (FN) as well as Federation Equestrian International (FEI). To see some examples of these horses' offspring, |

Romeo
de Roza 1997 Approved Friesian Stallion
|
|
| "Romeo" is a beautiful, young stallion who has inherited his sire's
fabulous looks and both his parents' terrific movement! This past winter,
Romeo competed in open dressage competition for the first time and won
both classes his first time out! He is also trained under
harness and is a willing and able jumper, too. Romeo has passed the FHS/FPZV Stallion Keuring in 2000
and was Reserve Champion (see above).
He also passed the 50-day Stallion Performance Test and is APPROVED
for breeding by FHS/FPZV. Like his stable mates shown below, Romeo is considered a
"modern" or "sport horse-type" Friesian, being
somewhat lighter in the body and well-suited for riding in addition to
driving. He is a true jet black -- a rarity amongst Friesians --
and has tremendous mane and feather. He is
currently available for purebred or cross-breeding to select mares via cooled, shipped semen. For more
information, contact us. |

Sophia Pandora
v.L., Star 1997 Imported Friesian Mare
|
|
"Sophia" is an imported, beautiful mare who has inherited her sire's fabulous movement! Like many Friesians, she has a wonderful, easy-going disposition and willingness to please, as well as a wonderfully long mane! Like Josephine, she also had a terrific year by earning the title of Reserve Champion Friesian at Dressage at Devon 1999 (pictured above)! Sophia was presented for Studbook/Star at the FHS/FPZV Keuring in 2000 and earned "Preliminary Star" status based on her beautiful conformation and movement. She recently made the designation permanent by successfully completing the FHS/FPZV Mare Performance Testing in both driving and dressage in January 2002, earning very high scores from the FN judges from Germany.
Sophia's 2003 foal by Wicher,
1996 FPS/World Champion Friesian Stallion, was sold prior to
conception. Her 2004 and 2005 foals by Romeo were also sold in utero.
She has been confirmed foal to Romeo for 2006.

Josephine de Mona,
Model 1995 Friesian Mare
|
|
"Josephine" (Romeo's half sister) is an beautiful mare with distinctively feminine appearance and fabulous gaits. She is descended from a long line of FPS "ladies", including multiple Model/Preferant mares. Josephine is living up to that standard, having earned a 1rst Premium and Preliminary Star status at the 1999 FPZV/FHS Keuring, for which she was Grand Champion Friesian of both North America and Germany! Less than 2 weeks later, Josephine was again crowned Champion Friesian at Dressage at Devon 1999. Josephine was awarded Preliminary Model at the 2001 FHS/FPZV Keuring and was once again crowned Grand Champion Friesian!! She recently successfully completed the Mare Performance Test 2002 in both dressage and driving, earning Reserve Champion for her performance from the FN judges from Germany.

Unlike FPS, FPZV requires "Star" and "Model" mares to successfully pass
performance tests in driving and dressage. In January, 2000, Josephine
made the designation "Preliminary Star" permanent by successfully
passed FPZV/FHS Mare
Performance Testing ("MPT") at Proud Meadows (Cedar Hill, TX).
In January 2002, she made the "Model" designation permanent by her
outstanding performance at the MPT. Josephine is in foal to FPZV-approved Friesian stallion "Tinus"
-- 1999 USDF Horse of the Year at 2nd Level, 2000 USDF Horse of the Year at
3rd Level and 2001 USDF Horse of the Year at 4th Level!! . . . "Dressage at Devon
Champion Friesian" X "USDF Horse of the Year" -- what a
fabulous dressage prospect this should be!! This 2002 foal was sold
prior to conception.

Latest Update: Josephine has been sold :( More details to follow. . .
