In June of 2005 I retired from a teaching career, and
with the extra time in my daily schedule, it seemed only natural that I
fill it with more Friesians! Wietske was
imported from the Netherlands with the help of Rick & Ellen of Pleasant View
Friesians
as the mare part of my 3 in 1 package.
She is registered with both FHANA
[the
Friesian Horse Association of North America] and the Dutch FPS
[Friesch Paarden-Stamboek (Friesian studbook)], which is the world-wide
authority on the Friesian horse and recognized as the European Mother
Studbook of the Friesian Horse.
Sired by Ritse, Wietske Janke V [199925360], is a "ster" Friesian mare and supposed to ride and drive, but I am sure
that was before she began her career as a broodmare, so since I have
weaned her foal, I started round penning her and took my first ride on
her in October 2005--just awesome! I rode her lightly for 3
months until I put her on maternity leave the beginning of 2006.
See her pedigree.
Sjaantje, born in 2005
and sired by Tsjerk, was her 2nd
foal--in 2004 she had a colt by Tsjerk, "Oldert" [200401397]. When I
bought Wietske, she was in foal to Ait for 2006.
Witeske's 2006 colt, Ulysses sired by Ait 410, was born
March 8, 2006 and
Thomas and I were both there to watch [and video] and help. Since this
was
her 3rd foal, she knew the routine and is an excellent mother.
Wietske's 2007 Teade colt, Xavier,
was born March
19. When he was weaned, I started Wietske back under saddle and have
been enjoying riding her. We have even be on the trails and I have her
cantering--the first Friesian I have ridden at a canter! In 2008
Wietske had a nice Teade filly, Carlee, so I
bred back to Teade and now Carlee has a full sister, Fancee, foaled March 26, 2009.
She was bred to Erik [very low inbreeding
coefficient and relationship percentages] and had a 2010 colt, Hercules. In 2010 Wietske was
bred to Sape and had an exquisite 2011 filly, Lillee.
She is not in foal for
2012, giving her time off and develop as a riding/driving horse. With
her quiet and steadfast personality, she has become a very nice lesson
horse!
