The Friesians

I have been very fortunate to have been offered the opportunity
to take care of and ride three Friesians, owned by family friend Ann Davis.
For the past couple of years,
I have gone with, and/or prepped for (bathed and braided), shows,
ridden on long trail rides, and cleaned up and fed Mick, Ollie, and Juli.

The baby days! Mick and Ollie grew up inseperable,
they are a year younger than Juli.
In the winter of '98/spring of '99 I came by on a weekly basis
to do my share of taking care of the pair,
while Juli was off being a big girl in professional training.


Follow the leader?! Mick LOVES to play!

The apple crew, Ollie (left) and Mick.

Juli is a First Premium mare,
a highly coveted title to recieve from the Dutch judges!
You can compare her to a supermodel...ignore me, of course...

I think the best way to put it is,
"You haven't ridden a canter until you've ridden Mick!"
If you're looking for a rocking horse with some real action, here he is.
With that pogo-stick, "beautiful to watch but not fun to ride" trot he has,
his wonderful canter took my breath away!!!
