SOLD - Reagan of Friesian Stable

Reagan of Friesian Stable

Reagan is a registered 3rd premie studbook FPS/FHANA, born 5/23/05 out of Nanning 374 and our studbook mare Tekla W, (dam’s sire Erik 351). He has noble features inherited from Nanning, including long forelegs, gorgeous arched neck, powerful hindquarters and lots of feathers! Over the past two years, Reagan has been trained to ride and drive. He was training for four months this past summer to drive, while preping for the Friesian Keuring. Then he spent two months training on trail rides, including over night horse camping. Reagan really enjoyed good workouts with steep hills, rough terrain and swimming in the river. He is very willing and eager to learn new things. He is great for vets, ferriers, and grooming, including washing & clipping. Reagan enjoys visitors who stop by to see him, and he loves attention from everybody especially children. Reagan will be an excellent horse for all disciplines including dressage, western, pleasure and driving!

Reagan received Grand Champion Gelding award at the 2010 FPS/FHANA Dutch Friesian Keuring Inspection at the Central Wisconsin State Fair by the Dutch Friesian judges!

Congratulations to Debbie of New York on the purchase of Reagan!!

In Memory - Tekla W.

Tekla W.

Tekla is an imported 15.3-hand 14 year-old studbook mare out of Erik 351 (dam’s sire Meier).  At first glance, you’re impressed by her size and beauty.  She’ll win you over with her calm nature and ease of handling.  Tekla’s build is baroque style with lots of hair and feathers.  She’s our role model for all of our horses.  She’s well behaved, well mannered and has no bad habits.  Tekla has all these wonderful qualities and she passes them down to her offspring.  Tekla’s a perfect mother!  She passes on all her traits and behaviors in a firm and loving manner.  Tekla’s the ideal family horse, and we all enjoy riding and grooming her!

It is with heavy heart that we announce the passing of our beloved beauty, Tekla on Sept. 29, 2013.  She had a rupture in her system, and couldn't be saved.  Goodbye Tekie....we loved you so much!!

Sidney on Tekla
