Our last Friesian X is our mare “Prim” a Grade Paint mare. Prim is in foal to our Friesian Stallion Maximus for a 2025 foal.

This will be the third time this cross has been made with the first filly “Freya” out of this cross retained by us with hopes to be a main riding horse as Prims dam “Princess” was my heart horse I sadly had to say goodbye to in 2020. Prim foaled out a beautiful Black/White Friesian X Filly in 2024 who is currently available and is maturing nicely!
