Welcome to the site featuring Gail's Friesian horses 

    I adore horses--in fact when I was a child I wanted to grow up to be a horse!  My parents bought me my first horse, Apache Lady, the summer before I started 6th grade, and except for my college years, I have always owned horses--at first just 1, and although once the Chambersburg barn housed 9, when we moved to Carlisle, we had downsized to  5 equines.    
    In the 1990's I was moving from thoroughbred horses into warmbloods, when I saw my first Friesian at the Horse Expo in Timonium, MD. As I learned about this breed, I was amazed at all the wonderful attributes these majestic horses purportedly had--the more I read and learned, the more I dreamed of someday owning one. As the new barn was being built, I said, "With a new barn comes a new horse,"  and that started a serious quest for my first Friesian.
    The yearling Friesian filly "Heidie of D. R. F." arrived here in June of 2003, giving me the summer to enjoy her and learn first hand about the Friesian personality. I had never been around a horse that I would describe as "kind," but that is the nature of the Friesian. It didn't take me long to be smitten and enchanted by this Friesian horse, so when I decided to retire from teaching, as a retirement present I bought a 3 in 1 package from the Netherlands--I rationalized that since I would be able to spend my days in the barn, I should have a couple more Friesians!
    In foal for 2006, Wietske and her 2005 Tsjerk filly, Sjaantje, arrived at "Dreams Come True Farm" in June 2005, so it was a wonderful summer, getting to know these 2 horses. Both of our Friesian mares foaled in 2006, giving us our 1st Friesian babies--a colt and a filly. Since we had a Teade colt in 2007 and Teade fillies in 2008 and 2009. We have one mare in foal to Erik for 2010.
    We recently sold our 2008 Teade filly, so now our 7 YO is on the market, but in reality, all our horses are for sale.  Please click on the "FOR SALE" links below for further information.
    All our horses are started gently with natural horsemanship techniques, their training is never rushed, and they love people.

The picture above was taken when I was in Junior High School and was typical of my carefree summers -- bare-legged; bare-footed; bare-back!
The above picture was taken when I first started riding aside.  Life must no longer be carefree--nothing is bare ;-)  Yes, my dream of riding a Friesian aside has come true, but I need to replace this side saddle with one that now fits my Friesians.
