Friesian Gelding - Preston van de Burke Star

Preston van de Burke Star

Status:  Gelding
Sire:  Otte 375
Dam:  Zowie van het Oosterland Star
Dam's Sire:  Sjaard 320
Foaled:  May 2, 2005

Congratulations to Preston and his trainer, Tyra Vernon of Big Rock Equestrian Center!! Preston was named Champion Gelding at the Lake Elmo Inspection held on September 27, 2008. He was well-muscled and showed beautifully. He is now a Ster Gelding! Preston was pretty tickled to be done with a summer of intense training. He came home to Happy Now and couldn’t wait to roll in the homefarm dirt. All the horses in the barn were talking and welcoming him home. Thanks to Tyra for bringing out his best. Now he’s enjoying some trail rides and he’ll be learning to drive this winter if we get some snow.

Friesian Gelding - Ziglar van de Burke

Ziglar van de Burke
Status: Gelding
Sire: Nanning 374
Dam: Zowie van het Oosterland, Ster
Dam’s Sire: Sjaard 320
Foaled: May 16, 2007

When the judges at the Minnesota 2007 keuring made Ziglar Reserve Champion, they obviously knew how he would mature. He’s a beautiful yearling now- tall, lithe and slender. He promises to challenge his sire, Nanning’s height, as he is already 158 cm and literally has years of growth. Ziglar’s movement reflects his fine conformation. It is fluid and effortless.  We have two videos of Zig: one as a young colt, and the second was taken in June of 2008.

Friesian Colt - Chloe van de Burke

Chloe van de Burke
Status: Foal
Sire: Eric 351
Dam: Wietske van de Dollen
Dam’s Sire: Tsjerk 328
Foaled: March 20, 2008

Our Chloe is as friendly a filly as we’ve ever had. She absolutely adores being the center of attention. She’s stocky and has a thick, powerful neck that is sure to carry a very full mane like her mother and Grandsire, Tsjerk. Chloe’s stam line is 100 and her inbreeding coefficient is a very low 1.76%, so she’s a good prospect for your breeding program. She’s still got some of that bleached out brown baby fur in the photos, but her adult coat is coming in nice and black.

Colonel van de Burke
Status: Foal
Sire: Mintse 384
Dam: Zowie van het Oosterland, Ster
Dam’s Sire: Sjaard 320
Foaled: May 16, 2008

Our Colonel put on quite a show at the Lake Elmo, MN, inspection. He loves an audience and there was plenty of clapping and shouting as he flew around the arena with his tail in the air and his feet off the ground. He earned a first premium for his performance. Look at several of the photos where all four hooves are off the ground. This boy was floating. Notice in one photo how both the Colonel and his dam, Zowie, are airborne. He is an awesome colt and we’re expecting great things from him.

Dinah van de Burke
Status: Filly
Sire: Nanning 374
Dam: Wietske van de Dollen
Dam’s Sire: Tsjerk
Foaled: April 29, 2009

Dinah is super friendly, healthy and happy. She promises to be a bit taller than her mother, but still has Wietske’s beautiful face and thick, lush mane. She adores lots of attention and will come even in the pasture to get an extra rubdown.

Eve van de Burke
Status: Filly
Sire: Nanning 374
Dam: Zowie van het Oosterland 
Dam’s Sire: Sjaard
Foaled: June 7, 2009

Eve was a bit shy her first couple of months, but now has figured out that a few scratches and rubs feel pretty good. She is tall, lean and beautiful, with that floating action we’re all looking for. This one is going to be a showstopper!

Friesian Colt - Newborn

 

2010 Foals:
Happy Now will be welcoming two foals in 2010. Wietske will be having another Nanning 374 foal (the last one is so nice) in late May. Zowie will have a Mintse foal in late July. This foal will be a full sibling to Colonel, so we expect another stunning result. 2010’s names must start with the letters G, H or I, so be thinking of what you’d like to name a foal!
