My Horse Made Grand Champ
 

I took my horse to the Keuring (Inspection) yesterday and he made reserve grand champion and was awarded "Ster" (pronounced star by some) which is the highest rating he can get from the Friesian horse association. The judges came over from the Netherlands to judge the horses.
Here is a small video of him after getting his ribbons. I am so proud of my boy!!

OMG he's GORGEOUS! I had loved Friesans since I was a little girl! Do you have him standing at stud?

wow! Congrats..that's a very nice horse :thumbsup

No he is a gelding, my I have a 19 month old friesian who I am taking up for stallion in 18 months. To get a stallion approved for breeding through the FHANA is expensive. First he has to get approved through central proving here in the US, then I have to send to to the Netherlands for the stallion show which is 58 days long. If he passes there then he will be one of 20 approved stallions in the US. (currently there are only 20 FHANA approved stallions in the US)

Friesians are the best horses. I just love them to death.
