Preston is currently in training at Big Rock Equestrian Center in Ashland, WI. He is now under saddle and doing very well. Video footage of Preston working out is available at www.brec.com. He’s three years old now, and will be shown at the keuring this fall. We’re anxious to have him return to Happy Now and rejoin the herd.

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.

Friesian Colt - Colonel van de Burke

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

The Colonel is out of the phenomenal stallion Mintse 384 and he has showed it from the moment he was born. Even on the first day he was stunning, with great conformation and an uphill build. He has a fine, beautiful head and long, springy legs. Mama is still his first love, but he has now discovered that it’s pretty fun to chase Chloe around the pasture.

2009 Foals:
Wietske and Zowie are both being bred to Nanning 374 this summer. We’ve had such beautiful foals from Nanning that we decided to breed to him again. Yldau is being bred to Mintse 384. She gives us some reproductive challenges, so we’re saying a prayer as we inseminate her! Check back later to see how many foals will arrive in 2009!
