Willow is our purebred Friesian mare by Bendert and out of a Reitse mare, our late mare Nikkie. She is a 1998 baby.

She is the full sister to Jacqueline's adored Pagan, and also her baby, the late Wolfe. Willow, being the only horse we have left capable of breeding from those bloodlines, is our future. And as such, she is one special mare.

Willow has the personality we all crave in a Friesian. She is super affectionate, loving nothing more than to give hugs and to follow you around a pasture. We call her The Pocket Friesian.

She is smart, learns quickly, is willing to go to work, and very forward. She has the energy and presence of her Father, Bendert, and the sensability of her mother, Nikkie.

Without a doubt, Willow's strongest personality trait is her heart. She will do anything to please you, will go as far, as fast, and as well as she possibly can for you.

Everyone falls in love with Willow. You just can't help it. Her picture graces the walls of stable managers, among the photos of their own horses.

At a stout 15.1 hands, she is too short to receive a ster status but she was awarded a 3rd premie at her keuring, and was awarded the honorary title of "prettiest head at the keuring" by the Dutch judges.

Her foals promise to carry on this tradition of heart, looks, brains and temperament. A born mother, there were days as she was growing up when we saw her watching us, as if to say, "So? What's the holdup? When are we having babies?"

And of course, she is never adverse to the occassional spa treatment... like a mud bath!

Willow is being bred to our stallion, Krist, for a 2009 Friesian baby. This foal is for sale.

Wren

Willow's 2007 filly by our stallion, Krist.

Such a love.

Wren's name suits her perfectly as she is such a delicate and pretty little bird. But brave and precocious like her father! Congrats to Jen, who bought Wren in utero.

Sherherazade

Willow's 2006 filly by our stallion, Krist.

And who says Friesians can't jump anyway? Sher gets that from her daddy.

Incredible gorgeous, truly as sweet and kind as both her mother and grandmother, we are exceptionally pleased with our first Friesian filly ( we've always had colts before)! She was born April 29th, 2006. Sher has been sold to Donna DeAmaral, congrats!

Prieto

Willows first foal, and our darling.

And a bit more grown up...

Long legged, sweet tempered like his precious mother and strong, he was born April 6th, 2005. Prie was been sold to Carlos Macias, who bought him in utero, congrats!
