Our Mares

We have Friesian mares in our herd that were specifically imported in order to bring the Friesian bloodlines we desired most into North America.  Please review our Friesian mares and see for yourself.  Many of our Friesian mares have the highly sought after predicates of Model, 1st Premium Ster and 2nd Premium Ster.  The bloodlines of all of our Friesian mares are rich in history and carefully researched before the Friesian mares are imported and used in our Friesian horse breeding program. 

In building our friesian horse breeding program we have paid specal attention to bloodlines and performance characteristics. Some of our Friesian mares have been imported and some are Friesian mares we produced ourselves through our Friesian horse breeding program. Below is a list of our Friesian broodmares.
