Dreams are important, not the nightly kind but one's dream for the future. What's weird is from the time Rhoda was 9 years old together She and I knew there would be a Friesian in our future what we didn't understand is sometimes our dreams are not big enough. Who would think the dream to own just one of these magnificent horses would turn into a huge dream maker not just for us but many others. We know without a shadow of a doubt Raven was our gift from God,
what we couldn't know was by the gift of Raven this small dream of owning one Friesian stallion turned into hundreds of happy customers and many purebred Friesians.
I still remember the excitement when we found our first mare Jenis.
She was only 2 years old and beautiful, the next year we purchased Sanna & Samantha.
These three were bred with Samantha losing her colt 2 months before her due date, and both Jenis and Sanna giving us the beautiful fillies Abby & TC.
In the fall we were able to acquire Ylse.
The next year Jenis gave us Valiant,
We purchased Evan to be his companion,
Ylse gave us Tiera,
while Sanna gave us Wanda
and Samantha gave us a colt.
All 4 were bred back to Raven, Jenis had a filly that died of heat exhaustion,
Ylse gave birth on the 4th of July to Indy,
Sanna was sent to live with Sue where she lost a filly, and Samantha had a filly.
We were then able to purchase Wynne and bred her to Raven.
Samantha was bred back and sold as a three in one package. We took Sanna back, bred her to Raven and bred Jenis back to Raven. In 2011 Wynne had a filly,
was bred back and sold as a 3/1 package, Jenis had a colt,
and Sanna had a filly, she was bred back to Raven and sold as a 3/1 package.
We were then able to purchase Eliza,
Airiah,
Zalena
and Killian.
In 2011 Jenis, Airiah, Ylse, Eliza were bred to Raven while Zalena was bred to Valiant. So in 2012 we have 4 purebred Friesian foals expected and one 7/8ths expected. So take one Friesian stallion with a bad knee and end up with how many purebred Friesians?
