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! |

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!!!
