Still trying to decide on if or where to have your Friesian horse inspected? The deadline for circuit 3 is coming up fast...just 5 days away if you want to avoid late fees (August 29). The October 4-5 Friesian inspection held at the Michiana Event Center not only offers you a fabulous facility to show your horses but also has very reasonable site fees this year compared to other inspection sites thanks to great fund raising by our Michigan Friesian Horse Club chapter of FHANA. Go to FHANA.com and log into your account. Under My FHANA click on "Enter a horse in an inspection", click on the horse you want to enter and choose the Shipshewana, IN site. Contact Janice VerMerris (site host) if you have any questions.

Our Tjaarda 483 Sport Elite was the first Friesian to earn double Sport Elite (he earned this honor in 2017) and to date- the only approved stallion to earn this status. Tjaarda began his competition career under trainer Susan Wind in the Netherlands and put the final touches towards his Elite predicate with trainer Ellisa Kroll here in the USA. Today Tjaarda is retired from both his competition career and his breeding career- enjoying his time relaxing under the excellent care of Ellisa.

Last 2 foals were born last night. Both by Wylster 463 Sport Elite. A c**t and a filly. We’ve had 8 foals born on the farm this year. We have 6 c**ts and 2 fillies (7 Friesians and 1 Baroque Pinto). Foaling season is done for us this year but we are in the height of breeding season. We LOVE what we do!
