Weanling Fillies

6/10/10,  Inneundo  (Damascus Ster x Sypke 450)     Our new filly is not going to be petite.  In hours she showed us she is going to be just like her mom, a very tall and a solid filly.  She has been very sweet so far and her dam is taking good care of her, I expect she will end up just like her.    Her dam is a champion 1st premie mare, which includes being a keuring champion.   Her sire is a new approved stallion and has reaching movement like her dam.    $10,000

Three Year Olds-Fillies

Wyndham, 07 Filly,  (Alchemy Ster x Anne 340)     

Windham was the first filly born in 2007 and was a bit early.  Everyone in the barn wanted to adopt her and take her home.  She wants to follow you around and take all the love you are willing to give.  Win comes from some of the best lines.  Her dam Alchemy is a first premie ster and has so far has cleaned up in the dressage ring  and is winner of multiple USDF in-hand championships, as well as FHANA awards.  Alchemy's dam is Jinke, our preferment mare and she is half-sister to Sietscke model.   Her dam has been Champ and Res. Champ USDF/DHSB mare for 2009, 4 showings, 3 champs, 1 reserve and now a Res. Grand Champ mare at USDF finals!  Get a part of these champion bloodlines!  The USDF comments on her dam as being a true dressage Friesian, her movement has definitely been passed on to Wyn.       $12,000

Zanzibar, 07 Filly,  (Koosje Ster x Feike 395)     

Zanzibar was our surprise of the year.  Multiple checks told us Koosje was not in foal, but sometime earlier this year we pondered, something is not right with Koosje and the vet came out and goes...well, she is pregnant!  So here was Zan!  So far all of Koosje's female offspring have made ster and Uther is an exceptional colt, with stallion prospects.  This is one heck of a broodmare.  You can read more on Koosje under Uther, her colt for sale.  With this offspring Koosje already has the possibility of making preferent if these foals are anything like her previous, and this is only her 4th!  Zan is a feminine looking mare with a refined head and a floating trot.  She should mature over 16h, as so far all of Koosje's offspring have been tall, elegant and exceptional.  She has started training and has already been backed and taking to it quite easily.      $12,000

Young Mares

Vale, 5/10/06, Studbook, (Aeon Ster x Anne 340)           

Vale is a sweet filly coming from exceptional bloodlines.  Aeon is out of our model mare Sietscke and Sietscke is out of Jinke, our preferent mare.  She is a more classical type filly with the floating Friesian trot.  She already has show experience as she showed in hand with her dam on the USDF circuit.  Aeon qualified for Finals in her class and placed in the top 10 at Finals at a previous showing.  I expect Vale to mature a bit over 16h.  She was Res. Champion Filly at the keuring!  Currently, Vale is working on lunging and riding and was back in the show ring for 2009, showing again in the USDF in-hand classes.    She has done well showing in hand this year with scores around 70% and a qualification for the USDF Finals.  FHANA/USDF/USEF & IFSHA Year end Awards as well as her dam Aeon!  Aeon was just Res. Champion at a USDF dressage show.     $12,000

Geldings

Viking, 6/25/06 Colt, (Damascus Ster x Anne 340)    

Viking has solid bloodlines, his dam Damascus is a multi-1st premie ster mare and Champion.  She is 16.2, which I think Viking will follow in a size closer to his dam.  Viking is very sweet, enjoying attention and is very willing.  He was a third premie colt at the keuring, he was the youngest foal of ours showing with a lot of maturing to do at the time.  He also is rather unique as he gets a somewhat curly coat in the winter and has kept that, not loosing it as a foal.    As of yet he is not gelded.   Viking lunges and long-lines and was wearing a full harness as a 2yr old.   He has been very solid and willing in his training and can easily finish his driving training or allow that training to pave the way into under saddle work, which he has already taken to quite quickly as well.  So far he likes to play with a lot of the things we have done with him, cones, tarps and carts!  With how solid he is, if he were still here with us, he has the attitude and abilities to be an armored horse!  And not every horse can do that.  Viking has also started his saddle training and is walking and trotting under saddle, he is currently out for training  but is still available for sale.  He will be attending his first dressage show shortly.       $15,000

Stallions

Uther, 06 Colt, (Koosje Ster x Feike 395)        Your next stallion prospect! 

Uther is Koosje's third foal and will be another champion.  Her first to foals have both made ster and Uther easily has that possibility and even the chance of becoming a stallion.  He was Champion colt at the keuring, the runners liked the potential in him.  Despite the fact we would like to keep him, we need to shrink our herd some.  Koosje, as well as being an exceptional broodmare is a 1st premie ster mare and has shown successfully in dressage and other disciplines.  Many stallions out there are carbon copies of each other lately, but Feike gave us a winner here.  Based on Koosje's other offspring which have all matured over 16.2h, Uther is turning out no different.  We would love to see someone take Uther that would take advantage of his talent and also take him to the keuring and beyond, we truly believe he has the potential.   Uther is starting his show career and is showing in-hand in the USDF classes.  We started him under saddle and he took to it immediately and he is working nicely under saddle so far, currently out in professional training and will be starting under saddle showing!      FHANA/USDF/USEF & IFSHA Year end Awards.    $25,000 

Mares

 Damascus, 01, 1st Premie Ster Mare, (Koosje Ster x Bearend 347)    Model Prospect -oops, new page coming!

Much as we would like to keep Damascus, as we feel she is a model mare candidate, we need to reduce our herd size.  The judges have really liked her as she has the size and her big movement.  She is about 16.3h and a very solid mare with exceptional movement.  She has had multiple first premies and has been Champion Mare at the keurings.  She has already taken care of the requirement for model of having a foal and has proved to be a good broodmare.  She lunges, long-lines and is working under saddle.  She will make an excellent performance horse in either dressage or driving, she is an impressive mare that would look good in any type of performance you would choose.  Damascus enjoys attention, is very sweet and has the thick mane and tail even with being pastured most of the time.  We hope someone will also take the chance with her and show her for model.  She is in foal for 2010 to Sipke 450...6/10/10, it's a girl!    $30,000

 Freya, 4/14/01 Studbook Mare, (Sarinette Ster x Bearend 347)    
Freya is a studbook mare, with classical Friesian action, standing 15.1hh, will finish at about 15.2h.  Sarinette, her dam, is ster and has shown successfully in driving, dressage, saddleseat and our quadrille, with a bit of showing at low level eventing and some high school work.  You may have seen her before on our business card as well as in multiple ads.  She has performed at Equine Affaire and the North American Horse Spectacular.  Freya is incredibly sweet, and will have a classical type look to her, with plenty of mane and tail, she will make an excellent Friesian for all disciplines and a wonderful companion and broodmare.  She is broke to ride, working 3 gaits and has been very solid and willing under saddle so far, learning quickly.  I do not see anything she could not be trained to do.  2nd premie for 2002 and in the main studbooks for 2004.  Both Freya and Tristan (her 2006 colt) showed on the USDF in hand circuit and have Horse of the Year standings and FHANA awards!  Freya is working under saddle this year and doing some trails.  People have been suggesting she would make a great JR exhibitor horse as well.  She is continuing her show career and has shown in some ring classes as well.      $15,000 

Vesper, 1998 Studbook Mare, (Els Ster x Fetse 349)         New Photos!

Vesper is a classical type mare, standing about 15.2h and a very easy keeper.  She is broke to ride and has shown at our open houses and done a bit of medieval games.  She was in foal in 2006.  She is a sweet mare that enjoys the one on one attention, happy to let you adore her..  She was imported in utereo with her dam, who is a multi-generation ster mare with older lines, whose sire was Hearke.  Vesper is an inexpensive mare that will make a nice companion, riding and trail mare and she wants someone to be hers.  She is doing a bit of riding on the farm and we have done trail obstacles with her in the arena.  We also just started working on driving her, she currently long-lines (all over the property), full harness and is dragging items, we should be hitching her soon, she seems to love driving.  She has also been doing a bit of saddleseat riding with a friend of ours, she seems to love that as well.  Vesper is the kind of horse who will take to almost anything the owner is willing to do, she loves the attention!        $8,000

Xaos, 3/22/99 Studbook Mare, (Grieske VSR Ster x Erik 351)      Sold!!  Grats Cindy!
Xaos is a very classical type Friesian with nice size to match.  She is about 16.2.  She is broke to ride.  She is third premie studbook mare, who is sweet and loves attention.  We imported Grieske, who was in foal with Xaos at that time, long before Erik was imported to the US.  Grieske is a Lammert line mare, who was close to 17h herself, did parades and performed at the Hague as well as did sidesaddle.  If you are looking for a larger mare with the classical Friesian looks and big movement to match her size than Xaos is it.   $16,000

 Gaillard, 6/28/02 Ster Mare, (Lucia x Bearend 347)  Owned by Knightwing Photo.         Sold!  Grats Tina!

Lucia has had one other filly, Ygrayne, who was first premie ster and Champion Mare in 2003.  Lucia has shown and performed in many disciplines, including multiple times at Equine Affaire in OH. Lucia is the daughter of Sarinette (ster) and Sander 269.  Gaillard is very sweet and quite curious, I expect her to follow in her dam and grand dam's footsteps.  2nd premie and Res. Champ Filly at 2002 keuring.  Another 2nd Premie for 2003 and 2004.  Showing in USDF In-hand classes in 2005.  1st place in 3yr old at Waterloo in Aug.  Her average scores are low 70's.  Third premie and studbook at 2005 keuring.  She is the Champion Friesian for FHANA in 3 yr old mares for the USDF IN -Hand Division.    She is very good at showing and knows what she needs to do and give the judges what they want, she has immense talent and agility.  And the question most asked, she has the mane and tail I wished her dam had!  She stands over 16.2h. 

Gaillard showed USDF walk/trot classes and qualified for the USDF finals in-hand in 2006, twice, as well as Champ Mare at her last Show.  I wished she could have gone to the USDF finals and compete but of course the keuring fell on the same day as finals, so I made the choice to take her to the keuring instead.  Gaillard made ster at the 2006 keuring!!  USDF In-Hand FHANA & IFSHA Mare Champion for 2006.   $20,000
