Saying a Hard Good-by

Killian is on his way to the Vermont to the very same farm he was conceived, Friesians of Majesty.

His new owner will have him trained to drive both single or double so she can take him out driving with her older Friesian mare. Her reaction when she first saw him was..."He is HUGE!" She was very impressed with his gentle, loving disposition. She was shown his cues for the bow and lay down and Killian performed them perfectly. Emily is going to miss this boy. Sometimes it's really hard to say good-by but it helps knowing the new owner has promised to email lots of pictures and is more than willing to keep us updated on his training.

We bought Killian as a weanling from a farm in Glastonbury, CT which just happens to be where Mark was born and raised, it is fitting that he will be going home to his roots, there in the East. Killian has been a joy to raise and a blast for Emily to train. Sometimes we have to make hard choices and when we knew we only wanted 2 stallions we really struggled which one should be sold. As Valiant is Raven's son, Mike felt there was no way we could sell him. Evan has amazing movement and the mega hair and even better throws this in his offspring so I felt there was no way we could ever sell him... so I guess Emily's boy lost out. Life will get easier with just 2 stallions to manage. So sorry Emily!
