Hi Jody. I assume that you are South African otherwise you wouldn't ask about acquiring one of these horses. The latest development about the stud was that the majority of the horses were going to be handed over to the Mounted Police horse unit and the rest of the old mares either put down (because it's the most humane option) or those whose health will improve, to be given to appropriate homes. This is supposed to be happening soon, but I'm afraid that until it happens I will not be holding my breath. If you wish to give the horse rescue unit your support phone Bev at 016 3623587...she's the lady in charge of the rescue attempt. For more details see my original letter on the friesian news site.
Thanks for showing concern for these animals...much appreciated. Carl
