Pam,
There is a large Friesian farm in Arizona. You might try contacting them. If they don't have a mare they'll at least have a direct line into the Friesian circle.

Decisions, decisions

by

I thoug maybe someone could help me with my quandry. I'm currently trying to decide between buying a coly out of a model mare and a filly out of a star mare. I'm really in love with the colt but I had been hoping he would be a filly. My ultimate goal is to breed a Friesian of my own and I was going to justify the price by knowing I could sell the baby I would have a few years down the road. The colt is a beauty he's got his studs long legs and he could be a stallion contender but an FPS judge has already said that no colt out of this particular stud will become approved. I know the filly score well at keuring, all her dam's foals have done well. So maybe there's someone who read these boards who can help me out, maybe you've been there. If I keep the colt how difficuly would it be to resell him if I wanted a mare some day? If the filly doesn't become satr is it still alright to breed her? Now I'm rambling. I just hope some one can help me sort out this very hard descision.

Quandry

by Beth

Ms: Were you the one who the FPS judge actually said this to?? If not, check into this further. Often times things a judge says at a visit or keur are very misunderstood, accidentally or otherwise. But do remember that in the FPS registry, very very few fine wonderful colts grow up to be Approved - and for many many reasons. To buy one on the gamble of going Approved is a very long shot. Even so, colts of disapproved on offspring stallions have been known to be accepted and finally Approved themselves. So be very sure this is not a half-truth or misunderstanding about this Stallion (provided he is an Approved stallion - a non-Approved stallion's get won't be considered).

You may certainly bred a studbook mare (a non-star mare). Most of the mare population is studbook. They have much to contribute. As with any breeding, just be sure she will contribute good characteristics to the breeding. Actually, within the FPS registry, the higher achievement than star or model is Preferent. If four of a mares foals make star it proves she is a great transmitor. That's more important to the future of the breed than how wonderful in conformation and movement she herself might be and studbook mares can and do go preferent. Of course the best of all is model/preferent/prestatie but one can't have all! So if you really want a filly than spend the very most you can to obtain one of the finest ones for your purposes. Good luck! Whichever you decide, you will fall in love!

Hylke ut de Mieden

by Beth

Just for anyone who might visit the oneblackhorse site mentioned above: Hylke ut de Mieden was NEVER an approved stallion with the FPS or anyone as she states on her site. He was accepted to Drachten to the 50 day test last year but was not passed on approval. Then he was sold to the Royal Stables. From there our friend Ted bought him for resale and had him gelded prior to coming over to Reno in April 2000.

Friesian Crosses

by

Hi! I was wondering, has anyone ever herd of a palomino friesian cross? I know a friesian and a palo usually make a dun, but I was thinking, a palomino friesian would be drop dead georgious. probably a friesian Qh cross or something. Just thought I'd post my thoughts. Do you guys think it's possible??

I'd like to see that done. I can't remember my equine color genetics but I imagine after a couple generations you would start to get palaminos. If you could find a red factor friesian you might have better luck. I happen to think that the red Friesians are gorgeous. Someday I would like to own one but for now I'll stick with my black horse.

Palomino cross

by

I have the palomino Quarter cross colt that was mentioned earlier. He is as stated a chocolate brown, he does have some gold highlites around his eyes and flanks so next year he might lighten up some. He is currently for sale.

AI Breeding question

by Kay

Hello, I'm was wondering if anyone could give me any advice relating to AI breeding. I'm debating on whether it would be more reasonable to take my mare to a stallion rather than to do it AI. Does anyone have any comments on this...do you think it would be more reasonable taking to mare to the stallion? Of course would depend on the distance....right now have thought about the stallion Frans in Visalia, Ca which is like 800 miles from me. I had such a frustrating experience trying to do it AI in the past and spent alot of money for nothing....hard to find a vet that knows what they are doing. Any comments? Thank you very much, Kay

A.I. vs. Live Cover

by

Do live cover if possible! Our mare was bred to Frans twice in 2000 via A.I. and did not take. We bred her this year to another horse via A.I. and she took on the first try.

JUMPING FRIESIANS!!

by Lol

Hi there! I was just wondering what your experiences are om jumping Friesians? i own a 5ry old gelding and before i had him his old owner hunted him. We all reckon he's capable of jumping 4'6 but no-one has been brave enough to try!! As i am not overly confident in jumping we have jumped 2'6 max apart from a 2'9 which I thought would be ok until I came flying over at bout 4ft with 1 stirrup!! Many people say thet Friesians can't jump. I, however have got a friesian who I hope to do showjumping and X-country.

You know, I think with the newer sport type friesians there's no reson they can't jump. The heavier baroque body tpes might have a problem with their joints and the stress on their bones but I would bet that a lighter friesian could make a decent three day eventing horse or jumping horse. I intend to jump mine someday just to say it can be done. Good luck with your endeavor.

Jumping Friesians

by Julie

Who says Friesians can't jump?? Any horse with 4 legs can jump! The question many people fail to ask is "Should Friesians jump?". Well, that depends. If you ask anyone from the FPS or FHANA they will probably say "No", simply because the Friesian is a "Heavy" horse. To make your Friesian jump 3' or 4' fences competitively could very well shorten the life of his legs and/or back... especially the baroque horses who are even stockier than the "modern" version. I suggest that any sound Friesian can comfortably jump 2 or 2-1/2' fences regularly with no ill effects, but anything higher than that you are pushing your luck.

How are the stallions around other horses?

by Salina

I am interested in getting a friesian colt to raise but am wondering how it would react around my other horses. I have a small breeding farm of Welsh ponies, & have a stallion & four mares. How is the friesian going to react to the welsh mares & stallion. Will he be gentle to handle or will I have problems. I really want to keep this one a stallion, as he is excellent quality & somewhere down the line I hope to be able to purchase a friesian mare.

How are the stallions around other horses

by Julie

There's a lot being said about how wonderful Friesians are with other horses... Stallions performing flawlessly in a field right next to a paddock full of mares; 3 or 4 stallions performing together, etc... but the fact remains, when you have 2 stallions together, chaces are they will get into "arguments". Considering your stallion is much smaller than a Friesian stallion, there's the chance that there is no contest between two such horses, but there's always a gamble and the risk you take of your stallion getting pulverized is up to you. If you have seperate quarters for each, that is ideal, but I'd question putting any two stallions together, even the amicable Friesian.

It's natural for young stallions to be together in the wild

by

In the wild, young stallions stay together in a batchelor band and actually I have had up to five young stallions in the same pasture together and bacause this is the natural state in the horse world the stallions seem less stressed and less agressive. Yes the do play hard bu even my geldings do that. Infact I have a pair of hugh percheron geldings who shake the ground when they play. No one ever seems to get hurt and the horse have no signs of stress. We have 22 horse on site including a paint stallion and a freisian stallion and I have much more problems with two alpha mares being on property than I ever have my stallions. Because we have several different fields and different groups I have more chance to observe horse herd politics in a natural state than someone who keeps their horse stabled which is an unnatural state for horses. I have everything from Shetland ponies the huge drafts and believe me, horses are horses,no matter their size. 35 years living with them and watching, them I have learned alot about their way of looking at things.

Same story

by

Hey welcome to the wonderful world of Friesians. My story's almost identical. I'm in the process of switching from Quarter horses to Friesians because I coudn't deal with the obsession any longer (alright, I have no will power). If you think you can't afford one because you've looked at the prices of expensive breeders and sellers you're probably wrong. I spent months searching for a foal that didn't cost more than my car but I found one, out of a model mare and Ouke none the less. If you're interested, e-mail me (click my name above) and I can point you in the direction of some half price great quality (last year the farm had a reserve grand champion first premie) Friesian babies. There's also the option of buying one that's not registered and I can point you there also. Just to let you know, I'm in no way affiliated with these farm so I stand to gain nothing but it's nice to help good people sell good horses.
