March 21- We are pleased to announce that we are about to break ground for our new indoor arena and attached barn.

There will be a view of the coastal mountain range from the arena, which will be open on 2 sides. March 18- Our
previous sale horse Iris
just had a healthy Onne
376 filly! Congratulations to her new owner Lynn, of Candor NY!! "Marissa
(tht's Iris' new name) had a baby filly tonight while our vet was in the
barn looking at another mare. She's gorgeous and incredibly precocious,
the fastest up, fastest learner, most persistent thing I've ever seen."
Here is a photo of her at 15 minutes old!
March 16- Check
out this month's Horses Inc. magazine! On page 12 you will see a
great photo of Sylvia Lindstrom riding our previous sale horse Pedro,

February 23rd- The
2007 offspring statistics are out and I have analyzed the data to show
the results of how each sire's offspring did at the 2007 keurings.
Click here
to see a graphical representation of the 2007 keuring results showing the
stallions with the most keured offspring to least, and breaking down the
# of 1st premie, 2nd premie, 3rd premie, and no premie offspring they had.
January 30th- I
have changed my main email address to sue@legacyfriesians.com
January 23rd- I
have now created a special webpage (complete with breeding values) for
World Champion, Haitse
425, and also have video from him that I filmed after he won the championship.
See our stallion
page for more info.
January 16th- I am back in the USA- I decided while in Holland to purchase Oene R.V. with my friend Kathleen- so now we are 50/50 partners on this gorgeous stallion candidate! We intend to import him and enter him in the Oregon keuring, to hopefully get him entry to the 70 day test. He was recently in the 70 day test in Holland among this year's newly approved stallions and did well on points there, and made it to one of the last 8 left (5 were approved). His owners decided he was a bit young and pulled him out- so he was never eliminated- and we think (and hope) the time will be right for him in Sept 2008! January 13th- At
the stallion show yesterday, Haitse
425 won the World Championship and
Beart
411 was Reserve Champion. It was tough for the judges to pick
the top 2 as there were so many that showed well this year. Interestingly
enough, Haitse and Beart also were top performers according to the
number of 1st premie foals that they sired in 2007. They each sired
33 first premie foals in 2007!
January 9th- I
am writing this from Holland! The weather is great, not too cold and not
raining like in Oregon. Yesterday
I rode Oene the
incredible stallion they have who went to the 70 day test. He was
very easy to ride. This was the first stallion I ever rode!
I also rode Oebele
and played Friesian Football with him. Click here
to watch a video that I filmed yesterday, of Oebele scoring a goal.
He LOVES the football- even when turned out loose in the arena, he will
go play football by himself! I now have a new
video of Oene- what an INCREDIBLE mover. Email
me if you are interested in Oene or Oeblele- I expect them to sell
by the Open day this Sunday. We will be importing a 9 year old mare
soon, named Wieneke.
She looks more like a gelding/stallion with her long forelock and mane
and what a sweet girl and great riding horse she is.
January 3rd- Happy New Year! I am getting ready to go to Friesland for the Stallion Show! I will be gone from January 7-15. I can check email and update the website from there, so the best way to contact me is by email. If you'd like more photos/videos of the horses in Holland, I will be able to provide that and ride them as well. There are also many more that are not on my site yet. I do expect many of the horses in Holland to sell at the Open house we are having on Sunday January 13. If you'd like to go to our Dutch business partner's open day, the day after the stallion show (Sunday, January 13), please email me and I will give you the directions and contact info. December 21 - I
just got this update from Pedro's owner, Kathy of California. Pedro
made his debut in jumping recently! We love to hear updates from
our customers!!!

photo below to read the article and see our advertisement.
August 15th-
I will be away for several days at the Walnut
Hill driving competition in Pittsford, NY. Pittsford NY is my
home town, and the Walnut Hill show is the world's largest gathering of
carriages and coach horses in the Classical Driving Sports! Ex-Oregonian
Clay
Maier and Lea McFarland-Bushnell will be the featured exhibition, so
it will be great to see them again, and their Friesian Spectacular act.
I am also meeting Christer, from Sweden, and we will finalize the arrangements
for our new REDLINE
tack/carriage line made especially for Friesians that you will be able
to order through this website. Stay tuned for more details.
When I arrive back in Oregon, our new trainer will also arrive, Rose.
She has trained horses in Holland and Spain and will be staying with us
in Newberg for the next few months! She will be helping us get our
horses in shape for the keuring at Devonwood on Sept 27 and also riding
our sale horses every day.
July 31-Today we would like to express our sincere condolences to the Ackerberg family of Montrose Minnesota, whose barn burned down yesterday, most likely due to a recent hay delivery that ended up spontaneously combusting. Luckily, there were no human lives lost, and our past sale horse, Majoor, is okay, but they lost 7 other horses in the fire (103 horses were saved). Ton and I recently visited their beautiful barn, and we met many of their wonderful Saddlebred horses, and the Ackerberg family's loss is just unthinkable to me. There was a huge outpouring of support to help: There were over 300 plus friends, helpers, neighbors, rescue workers, etc. here in a matter of minutes but, everything was gone. The barn was completely engulfed in flames in a matter of 10 minutes. Our barn crew are "hero's", they risked their lives going in to save as many horses as they possibly could. Both of my daughters horses were lost in the flames... one mare and her foal... one pleasure horse... a two year old and a three year old gelding By "Trust Fund". If you would like to send a card, their address
is
July 25-Mark

beach today. Mark's new owners, the Bentz family of Oregon, went

you, Mark!!!

to Devonwood July 20th and Ton will be riding them there again today July
21. We will bring them home for our OPEN HOUSE tomorrow from 11-2pm

June 29- Our
business partner in Holland has sent us an accomplished Dutch trainer to
work with our sale horses!! His name is Ton, and is now here, and
will stay until August! Ton has about 15 years training and
showing Friesians and Warmbloods in the Netherlands. If you are in the
Portland area, and you would like to bring your Friesian in for a lesson
or training ride with Ton, we can now accomodate you.
June 26- Congratulations
