A significant part of any young horse's training is related to the experiences it
has early in life. The easiest time to handle and train a young foal is BEFORE it
is weaned from the mare.
It is important for every horse owner and manager to realize that the foal's
experiences are lasting. While this is especially true for positive experiences, it
also applies to undesirable ones. The more positive a foal's experiences before
and immediately after weaning, the easier it will be to handle and train that
individual as a yearling and two-year-old.
Teaching a foal to lead, to have its feet handled and to be groomed is much
easier when the foal is young. The effects of early positive experiences have
been reported to influence later behavior.

The Friesian horse is gentle, honest, sober, high-mettled, and clever. It descends from the
westen European horse that has been found generally from the earliest days on, and that
attained its highest perfection in the Knight's horse, the destrier.
For a long time it has been preserved in Fryslan only. Since 1980 there is an increase of
numbers outside Fryslan, and in the nineties a considerable increase can be observed
outside the Netherlands as well.
The Friesian horse descends from the Equus robustus. During the 16th and 17th centuries,
but probably also earlier, Arabian blood was introduced, especially through Andalusian
horses from Spain. This has given them the high knee-action, the small head, and the
craning neck. Because of their temperament the Friesian horses are considered warm-
blooded.
Through the centuries the Frisian Government has made many regulations in order to
safeguard good breeding. Now the Dutch Horse Act of 1939 (modified) gives rules for
studbook and breeding.
From records of the past we know that the Frisian horse of old was famous. There is
information from 1251 (Cologne), 1276 (Munster), 1466 (Aduard), 1617 (Markham), 1771
(Kladrup), and there are books in which Frisian horses were mentioned and praised from
1560 (Blundeville), 1568 (Guicciardini), 1629 (Pluvinel), 1658 (Duke of Newcastle), 1680
(De Solleysel), 1687 (von Adlersflugel), 1734 (Saunier), 1741 (Gueriniere), 1744
(Oebschelwitz), 1779 (Le Franq van Berkheij), 1802 (Huzard), and 1811 (Geisweit van der
Netten).The Frisian horse has been kept free from the influence of the English
Thoroughbred. During the last two centuries the breed has been kept pure. Breeding
horses and dealing in them was very important for the Frisians. Also the monks in the
many monasteries in Fryslan before the Reformation did a lot of horsebreeding.
Export of Frisian horses
According to the chronicle of Dubravius, the Hungarian King Louis II used a heavy Frisian
stallion when he took field against the Turks on June 15th 1526, a campaign which
culminated in the battle of Mohacs (August 29th 1526). An etch by Stradanus (Jan van der
Straat 1568) shows a Frisian stallion, Phryso, from the stables of Don Juan of Austria.
Because of their good qualities Frisian stallions were imported, e.g. by the Elector George
William of Prussia in 1624, later by the famous Danish stud at Fredericksborg, by the stud
at Salzburg, and by the stud at Kladrup in 1771 and again in 1974 (stallion Romke 1966
FPS 234).
The well-known English writer on horses, Anthony Dent, and others are of the opinion that
the Friesian horse influenced the Old English Black Horse and the Fell Pony. Dent
proposes that the Norwegian Dole hest (Gulkbrandsdal horse), which shows great likeness
to the Frisian horse, must have got there from Fryslan either as booty or by regular trade.
The Northern Swedish horse was greatly influenced by the Norwegian Dole. Dent also
suggests a Norwegian influence on the English Dale pony. In the Pyrenees in southern
France there is a pony Ariege called after Merens' ('Ariege dit de Merens') that looks
remarkably like a small Frisian horse. The resemblance of the types mentioned can be
traced back in some cases to the influence of Friesian horses. In other cases the similar
way of breeding may have caused the similarity.
As early as 1625 Friesian horses were imported into what later would become the United
States of America. The Dutch founded New Amsterdam in the region they discovered in
1609, but in 1664 the English took over the colony and changed its name to New York.
Advertisements in the papers (e.g. 20.5.1795 and 11.6.1796) offer trotters of Dutch
descent. These must have been Frisian horses. The able writer Jeanne Mellin proposes in
her books 'The Morgan Horse' (1961) and the 'Morgan Horse Handbook' (1973) the
possibility that this well-known American horse is of Friesian descent. The ability to trot
fast, the heavy manes, the long rich tail, and the fetlocks at the feet of the original
forefather of this race may be an indication. Again in 1974, 1975, and 1977, nine Friesian
horses in all were imported into the United States, by Thomas Hannon, Frisian Farms,
Louisville near Scranton, Ohio.
The Friesian horse as a trotter.
Apart from its high knee-action and elegant performance, the Friesian horse was sought-
after as a trotting horse for the short distance of 325 m. In the 18th and 19th centuries, and
probably earlier as well, these horseraces were very popular festivities in Fryslan. For
important races the prize was a silver or even a golden whip. The Frisian Museum has a
fine collection of them. In many villages and towns these races were held regularly.
Between 1800 and 1850 there were 2847 advertisements of these races in the papers. At
first the races were on horseback, but later on they also included the Frisian 'sjees'. May
31st 1823, King William I founded an horserace that was to be held at Leeuwarden each
succesive year in the beginning of August. It became known as 'the King's-Whip-Day',
because the King awarded a golden whip each year as a prize. The race was to be held in
remembrance of the battle of Waterloo in Belgium, June 18th 1815, in which the French
Emperor Napoleon was beaten, and Europe regained its freedom. These races at
Leeuwarden always attracted many visitors. They ended in 1891 when H.M. Queen Regent
Emma awarded the golden whip for the last time. Russian and American horses, bred and
used for racing only, were faster, and this brought Friesian horseracing to an end. Only
now and then demonstrations of horseracing with Frisian horses are organized. So, a
group in Wolvega tries to get trotting races with these horses going again.
The Friesian horse influenced the breeding of the Russian Orloff and of English and
American trotters.
The Frisian horse in the circus.
Once the Circus Strassburger began, in 1939, training Friesian horses in the Academy
style of riding and put them very successfully through various performances, many
circuses followed suit. Their intelligence and their gentleness make Friesian horses
extremely suitable for this purpose. The stately black hair gives the show a touch of
eminence.
The Studbook.
By the middle of the 18th century crossing in horsebreeding became a fashion. At the very
start, on May 1st 1879, of the first Studbook in the Netherlands, opinions differed whether
only horses of the Friesian race should be registered, or cross-breds as well. The problem
was solved by opening two registration books: Book A for Friesian horses, Book В for
crossbreds. From 1884 till 1896 the Studbook was also open for the registration of horses
from the adjecent Provinces of Groningen and Drente. For this reason the name of 'Frisian
horse' was temporarily changed into 'Inland horse'. By 1896, however, Friesian horses had
nearly disappeared in those provinces: in Groningen altogether, in Drente a few years
later. The fashion of crossing grew to such an extent that the decision was taken, in 1907,
to close the separate books and to register all the horses in one book. This could have
been the end of the Friesian horse. However, a tiny group of true lovers of the Friesian
horse started the society 'The Frisian Horse' ('Het Friesche Paard'). This society worked in
close cooperation with the Studbook and succeeded in keeping and improving the Frisian
horse. They bought good Friesian colts, and they gave awards for good types of horses. In
1914 the board of the Studbook decided, at the request of the Society, to open two
registration books again: Book A for Friesian horses and book В now for 'Upland horses'
('Bovenlandse paarden'). In 1939, when the number of Friesian horses had increased
considerably, the Friesians got a board of their own within the Studbook. Finally, in 1943,
the breeders of non-Friesian horses left the Studbook. Since that year the Royal Society
'The Frisian Studbook' (the designation 'Royal' was added in 1954) registers only purebred
Friesian horses. H.M.Queen Juliana honoured the Studbook by becoming its Patroness in
1949, and now H.M. Queen Beatrix is its Patroness.
A condition for registering a Friesian horse is that it must be 2.5 years old. A stallion must
then have a height of the withers of at least 1.58 m; at the age of four of 1.60 m. Mares
must be 1.50 m, 'star' mares 1.55 m, 'model' mares 1.58 m, and geldings 1.50 m. A further
condition is that the horse must have been registered in the 'Foalbook'. Only foals with a
document proving the mating of the sire and dam are included in this book; moreover, both
parents must have been registered in one of the registers of the Studbook. To be registered
a horse must have no fault and it must be true to the type of the Friesian breed.
Keurings, or judgings, are held each year across the USA to determine the status of the
friesian for foalbook registry. Foals under one year are examined and awareded "premies"
based on their conformation and movement. Adult horses are also examined for entrance
into the studbook, again based on their movement and build, and are also awarded
designations based on their relationship to the "ideal" Frieisan.
The Friesian horse nowadays is bred exclusively black. The only white allowed is a small,
white spot between the eyes. In bygone days Friesian horses could have different colours.
In 1969 Dr R.H.J.J. Geurts, a medical doctor at Heerlen in the province of Limburg in the
South of the Netherlands, wrote a doctoral thesis at the University of Utrecht on the
breeding and genealogy of the Frisian horse. In 1968 he also wrote a book, called 'Friese
Merriestammen', about the families of mares in the Studbook. Dr J. Hendrikse and drs. W.
van der Hoist, of the Clinic of Vetenarian Obstetrics at the University of Utrecht, developed
the artificial insemination of horses in the Netherlands, choosing the Frisian breed. Semen
of Frisian stallions is being collected and frozen in at several semen collecting stations to
be used world-wide for insemination of mares.
Paintings.
There are a great many paintings and pictures, dating back some centuries, showing
Princes of the house of Orange-Nassau and other leading people with horse remarkably
like the Frisian horse.
The Friesian 'sjees'
From the middle of the 18th century, possibly earlier, date the elegant, two-wheeled
carriages called 'sjees' after the French word 'chaise' (chair), indicating a chair on wheels.
This French name does not imply a French origin: the upper-class of the times often used
the French language as being very fashionable. The wheels of a 'sjees' are about 1.50 m
high. They have 14 spokes. The elegant little body is suspended high above the ground on
solid leather thoroughbraces. The body has nicely bent panels and ornaments in the
rococo style, also called after the French King Louis XV. Later 'sjezen' may also have Louis
XVI ornaments. Probably, these 'sjezen' were developed in the Netherlands, perhaps in
Fryslan. A registration book for these 'sjezen', called 'Frysk Seaze Stambook', has been
established, in which 26 measurements of every 'sjees' are recorded. Every 'sjees' gets a
registration number. Over a hundred 'sjezen' have been registered. A Friesian 'sjees' drawn
by one or two Friesian horses is an impressive sight at a horse show. The 'sjees' is
manned by a gentleman and a lady dressed in the traditional costumes of the 1860's. With
that costume goes a solid golden casque for the lady that covers almost the whole of the
back of her head. Over it she wears a lace bonnet. The gentleman wears, among other
things, knickerbockers and a black tophat. The Friesian 'sjees' is the only carriage, apart
from agricultural wagons, in which the driver is seated on the left-hand side. He keeps his
lady on the right as being the place of honour. At the 'Frisiana', the great exhibition at
Leeuwarden in 1963, the quadrille involving eight Friesian 'sjezen' was ridden for the first
time. It was an unforgettable spectacle.
Use of the Friesian horse.
There is a growing interest in the use of Friesian horses for sport and recreation, primarily
for drawing carriages and for dressage. That the Friesian horse is able to achieve great
performances has been shown by the fact that during the demanding marathon
championships for four-in-hand teams in 1977 as many as five teams of Freisian horses
participated. Tjeerd Velstra from Deurne (Noord Brabant) became Dutch Champion and, in
the same year, Reserve European Champion at Donaueschingen (Baden -Wurttemberg in
Western Germany).
The maintenance and improvement of the Frisian horse world-wide is supervised
continually by:
de Koninklijke Vereniging 'Het Friesch Paarden-Stamboek' (the Royal Society 'The Frisian
Studbook').

These are My general Guidelines I have found when selling horses that make the sale the Least
Stressful, And Offers the most peace of mind for both parties- Unless a contract States otherwise, the
following guidelines apply for The Sale-
When a horse is for sale, I require full payment or a non-refundable deposit to hold/take off the market.
Our non-refundable deposit is 25% of the sale price of the horse. It is a common practice when taking a
horse off the market to have a non-refundable deposit.
I do require a Contract for all sales This protects both you and I
Full payment is required at least 2 1/2 weeks prior to releasing the horse, unless the buyer is bringing
cash.
I will care for the horse for a period of time agreed upon By both parties at no charge, and will provide
the horse the same care I give our own until the horse can be picked up or shipped Beyond the agreed
time on the contract , a board fee will be charged.
Per-purchase exams are Highly encouraged at the Horse buyer's expense. Coggins and health papers
are at Quietwinter Farms expense if you do live out of state.
Mortality insurance coverage is required for any sale where the horse will not be picked up within 2
weeks. If insurance coverage is not purchased or cancelled, and the horse dies, the seller will not refund
payments to the buyer. The buyer will pay for insurance coverage ( around 2.9% to 3.9% of the value of
the horse for a full year of coverage). When the policy is cancelled, the unused portion of the premium is
refunded by the insurance company. I have used) Georgia Walker 1-800 385-2423 for our policies, and
have been Satisfied with their service.
Buying a horse using a payment plan. For foals prior to weaning. Payment plans bring up issues that
are best prevented by buying a horse outright.. .For example: Who is Financially responsible if a horse
falls ill ? What about the issue of board, how long will payments be allowed. Please take note-- If a
payment plan is agreed upon, the buyer will not be able to take the horse until full payment is received.

Mortality insurance coverage is required for any sale where the horse will not be picked up within 2
weeks. If insurance coverage is not purchased or cancelled, and the horse dies, the seller will not refund
payments to the buyer. The buyer will pay for insurance coverage ( around 2.9% to 3.9% of the value of
the horse for a full year of coverage). When the policy is cancelled, the unused portion of the premium is
refunded by the insurance company. I have used) Georgia Walker 1-800 385-2423 for our policies, and

Buying a horse using a payment plan. For foals prior to weaning. Payment plans bring up issues that
are best prevented by buying a horse outright.. .For example: Who is Financially responsible if a horse
falls ill ? What about the issue of board, how long will payments be allowed. Please take note-- If a
payment plan is agreed upon, the buyer will not be able to take the horse until full payment is received.
