Full Stride Farm - Sport Horses

11/08/2025

Hanna and Pippi had a XC schooling day yesterday, tackling some Training level jumps and some Training level harder combinations and questions as well.
Here are some of my fav pics that she shared.

For all out there still saying Friesian crosses don't/can't jump - that they'd never have the stamina for eventing - clearly you have never seen some of the sport crosses from Full Stride Farm, like this one!

Keep reaching for the stars Hanna & Pippi, (aka De Stijl) and Blue on Black Eventing!
We are so proud of you!

Contact us for your next sport prospect - we have some nice youngsters with and without friesian blood. Plus we like to add fun colors on them as well 😉🥰😍

Happy Mare Monday!
Just sharing our “Matriarch” mare, Isabelle aka “Izzy.”
Pictured here this past May, at age 28!
(Photos of 3 of her offspring mentioned here as well)

Among her offspring is the Friesian cross mare DeStijl aka “Pippi” sired by our Xamy, and being very successfully evented currently at Novice level (qualified for Eventing Championships!) owned and trained by Hanna Melchor of Blue on Black Eventing!

She is also the dam of my “keeper” - Art Nouveau - bay tobiano Friesian cross mare sired by Douwe C Ster Sport Elite.

Retired now, her last foal is now 2 yrs old, she had him at age 26! To some, that is “too old” - but you can see that this mare is in amazing health, and has been all her 28 years, other than an accident that ended in her losing her right eye at age 7.
She boasts a sire line that goes to Art Deco, and her quality offspring have always represented their quality from both her and the sires we chose to breed her to. She has produced AMAZING foals for us, many whom have gone on to be quite successful competitors in multiple disciples, as well as just wonderful family and pleasure/trail horses.

Her 2 yr old son, a pintaloosa Knabstupper cross gelding, is currently available, on for details!

Central NC peeps, if you are looking for a confidence building horse to get you going over fences and gain experience and skills, (or all 3 eventing phases) whether stadium or cross country, this guy is available for half or possibly full lease!
Hanna’s description of him is spot on, I have know this horse most of his life, as I coached Hanna and W***y for some time, and he came through our farm! So I can vouch for both the horse and Hanna!
