SJOERD HAD AN INCREDIBLE 2010 REGION 10 FRIESIAN REGIONAL
CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW!
Sjoerd won Hi-Point Friesian at the Regional
Championships!
Sjoerd won EIGHT Grand Championships, One Reserve
Championship and one Third place!
He did not just win ribbons
and trophies, the BEST part is he touched the hearts of the judges, stewards and many of the
spectators at the show with his heart, presence, disposition and
talent!! His liberty performance brought the house down and tears to
nearly all who witnessed it.
**TURN UP YOUR VOLUME**
This class was held in the evening AFTER he did a full day of 8
classes, yet he still performed for the crowd with his whole heart.
His last riding class was literally completed 5 minutes before he
did this performance. Sjoerd's heart is HUGE and we are thankful to
be able to bless others with this performance! God really can use
all of His creation to touch hearts and lives. When we go towards
the 3 judge panel at the end of our class you see one of the judges
come out to talk to me...she was in tears, she stated that she had
seen MANY Liberty performances but that Sjoerd & I had the best
catch ending she had ever seen & she thanked us for touching her
with our performance! ALL the judges & stewards were on their feet
for his performance. We were very, very, BLESSED by their response
to our performance.
We thank David of Davko
Films (www.ivideohorses.com)
for creating this video of Sjoerd's Liberty class for us. We also
want to thank Travis Flemming of Iron Clad Horse Shoeing (951-973-3758)
for keeping Sjoerd and all our horses, from our Champions to our
broodmares and foals, in top form, sound, and
performing at their best!
Sjoerd was also represented
at the Regional Championships by 3 of his foals. All won
Multiple Championships!

Sjoerd
is an elegant, tall (16.2+h) purebred imported Friesian from the
Netherlands. Sjoerd is registered with
FPZV and is a double Star stallion.
His name means Protector of Victory in Dutch.
Sjoerd has been DNA tested by UC Davis to be Homozygous for black, you will
never get a chestnut foal out of Sjoerd. He is an Arabian Sport Horse Nationals Payback
Nominated Stallion & IASA Nominated Sire. He is the ONLY breeding stallion in the U.S. sired
by TSJALKE 397! A GREAT outcross stallion for the heavily in-bred
common U.S. lines.
Sjoerd is truly a one-of-a-kind Friesian
stallion. His disposition, unique conformation, and incredible
movement with elevation, impulsion WITH extension not only
garnered him UNANIMOUS World Champion Friesian, but also BOTH the
German and the Dutch registries awarded him the coveted (and not easily
earned!) STAR status the first time he was presented for it making
him a rare DOUBLE STAR STALLION at the tender age of 3. He was then
bestowed the extreme honor of achieving a near PERFECT score at his
2009 FPZV Inspection!
Sjoerd is a DREAM to ride! His short, strong
back, short coupling, his natural ability to collect under himself
and his laid back shoulder make him a very nice ride at any gait.
Feel free to come meet Sjoerd in person and be
prepared to FALL IN LOVE! Sjoerd is a different kind of
Friesian!
Sjoerd is a UNANIMOUS Saddleseat and Halter
Champion ('08 & '10).
Sjoerd is a CHAMPION in multiple disciplines: In-Hand, Saddle
Seat, Show Hack, Liberty and Walk/Trot. He is an INCREDIBLE, VERSATILE athlete.
After proving his exceptional talents in those disciplines, he is
adding additional disciplines of Jumping and Dressage.
Sjoerd LOVES people and his willing heart an
attitude make every thing we do with him a sheer pleasure! By the time he was 2 years old he was a
multi-World Champion in hand. At 3 he was awarded unanimous Saddleseat Champion, he
mastered the high school movement the Spanish Walk in-hand, under
saddle and at liberty. At 5, he was competing with junior and
amateur riders in an amazing 5 disciplines/divisions concurrently at
a single show and he won in every division he competed in!
He
is exceptional, he is unique, and he is different from any other
Friesian you will meet. There are no other breeding
stallions with his sire line here in the U.S., he is not just any Friesian, he
is a better Friesian!
He has a wonderfully kind disposition and a very
striking, regal appearance and huge heart! Sjoerd simply permeates
elegance.

Championship ribbons with two very happy girls, with Skylar (13) at the
reins and Tynan (15). Both girls competed with Sjoerd at the Region 10
Championships. Both girls will be competing with Sjoerd at the World
Championships Oct 2010!
Sjoerd competed and won in an
incredible and unheard of 5 disciplines/divisions at the Regional
championships: Halter, Saddleseat, Show Hack, Walk/Trot, and Liberty -
ALL at one show!

3 wins and Grand
champion! Sjoerd is elegant and beautiful no matter what he
is doing!
Competing in-hand....
Showing off his incredible grace and beauty in saddleseat...
Or showing his diversity, beautiful extension, lift, and
impulsion as a hunter....
Or his incredible athleticism,
power, agility, and great temperament as he jumps 4' 3" with a 2'
spread. Sjoerd is extremely elegant, captivating, and BOY, CAN HE MOVE! This boy
is the epitome of class, elegance and style, with the perfect conformation,
movement, bone and temperament for crossing onto your best mares. On
top of all that he is just plain SWEET!
Sjoerd at 4 years old, 10-09 at
the German Registry Inspection (FPZV).
Sjoerd was bestowed the incredible honor of being "Highly Recommended" for
the rigorous Stallion Performance Testing which is offered only to a select
few stallions and it is held only every two years. The German Registry
inspects the horses both in hand working on the triangle to inspect
conformation, disposition, kindness and willingness in hand and also at
liberty at the trot and canter so that they may show themselves off
naturally.
Sjoerd (4 years
old) with Tynan (14 years old) jumping 2' 6"
and 3' 6". Tynan is just learning to jump, but Sjoerd is so kind and willing,
that even though Tynan is just learning, and Sjoerd could easily take
advantage of her lack of knowledge, Sjoerd gives her 100% over every jump!
Photos taken 10/28/09
Sjoerd is an amazing athlete! We
started working with Sjoerd over fences about 6 months ago and he LOVES it!
Here are photos of Sjoerd free jumping a 4' 6" jump with a 3' spread, and he
clears it by more than 2"! Sjoerd is jumping over 6' in this photo AND
he took this fence at a trot!
A little tired at this point, Sjoerd still easily clears
this jump with beautiful form.

It takes a tremendous athlete
with exceptional conformation to get both the lift and extension Sjoerd
exhibits in his Spanish Walk.
Sjoerd competing at the 2008
Region 10 Friesian Championships. Sjoerd wins unanimous Regional Champion
In-Hand Stallion under 3 judges at only 3 yrs old. The video is of Sjoerd his FIRST time competing walk, trot and

around! He is the ultimate gentleman and a truly exceptional stallion. There
were other horses entered into this Championship class but the elected to
withdraw when Sjoerd entered.
