Imported 17H 4 yr old Friesian top
DressageGelding. Leffert 306 pref x
Hearke 254 pref mare, full
paperster/pref/pref, 2nd premie, full
set of clean xrays, 16.3-17H, justturned
four years old. I looked at a few
thousand horses in Hollandbefore coming
home with this one. Sjoerd is currently
schooling 2ndlevel (supple and
sensitive, currently working shoulder
in, half passin trot and canter,
travers, counter canter) with a former
professionaltrainer. Sjoerd is a forward
and light footed mover with elastic
andelegant strides- correct movement to
excel in upper level dressage.Very
comfortable to ride and easy in the
hands. He has excellenttransitions, and
an impressive canter he can pick up
immediately from awalk (most friesians
find canter to be difficult- not this
horse!). Histrot is collected, full of
expression, and has wonderful cadence
with apowerful spring off his feet. His
super sensitive and
intelligentpersonality makes him
responsive and a very quick learner who
loves towork (Sjoerd may still be a baby
at just turning 4 last week, but
thishorse will try his hardest to do
what you ask- he's a joy to train).
Iwould think an amateur could do his
training provided they are a strongrider
who gives clear instructions; his
temperament is suitable for abeginner as
well if they didn't mind progressing at
a slower pace. Hehas lots of hair,
possesses a sweet and loving character,
well manneredthat anyone can handle him,
he's good for transport, good for
thefarrier, good for baths. Always 100%
sound, always reliable, and it iswith
great sadness he has to be sold, due to
an overseas move. It goeswithout saying
Sjoerd is impressive and beautiful now,
but he's just apreview of what he'll
look like in a few more years when he
fills outand masters so many more
movements. More photos and video
available onrequest.
