Three
Day Ranch recognizes the extreme difficulty that today's economic
times has created for many breeders.
We
have elected to assist those breeders who have the deep desire to
breed their best mares to our wonderful, unique, and rare Champion
stallions for spectacular 2011 foals by REDUCING our stud
fees on each of our stallions.
Check
out each of our stallions web page for their new REDUCED stud fees.
We have photos of
Sjoerd's first foal! A STUNNING 1/2 Friesian/Arabian colt
who is absolutely breathtaking! Photos of this
colt are on the bottom of this page. We will be making a page
dedicated to Sjoerd's foals soon, but for now, you can see them at
the bottom of this page.
Sjoerd (pronounced Ssh-ord),
is an elegant, tall (16.2h at 4 years old,) purebred Friesian, imported from the
Netherlands. Sjoerd is registered with
FPZV and is a Star stallion.UPDATE!! Sjoerd was inspected by the FPZV on 10/22/09. Out of a
possible perfect score of 75%, Sjoerd scored an incredible 74%!!
He was "Highly Recommended" for the rigorous Stallion
Performance Testing! An incredible honor for a 4 year old stallion!
He 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. He is the ONLY breeding stallion in the US sired
by TSJALKE 397! A GREAT outcross stallion for the heavily in-bred
common lines.
Sjoerd is truly a one-of-a-kind Friesian
stallion. His disposition, unique conformation, and incredible
movement with elevation and 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 and definitely THE
most comfortable Friesian I have ever ridden. 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 take a test ride and be
prepared to FALL IN LOVE! Sjoerd is a different kind of
Friesian!
Sjoerd is a UNANIMOUS Saddleseat Champion and after proving his
exceptional talents in that discipline, he is now moving on to
Hunter, Jumping and Dressage. He is currently being ridden in hunter
and over fences by Xena, Tynan and Anaiah and Sjoerd will be shown
again throughout 2010 by both Amateur and Junior riders. Sjoerd is a
wonderful jumper and he very much enjoys the challenges of jumping. He is an INCREDIBLE - VERSATILE athlete. Sjoerd is
WONDERFUL on the trail, minding his manners like a gentleman even in
a large group of horses. I could ride him all day he is such a joy
to ride and work with! He LOVES people and his willing heart an
attitude make every thing we do with him a sheer pleasure! Sjoerd is
NOT "all mane and no brain!" By the time he was 3 years old he was a
multi-World Champion in hand (70% based on movement & 30%
conformation), he was awarded unanimous Saddleseat Champion, he
mastered the high school movement the Spanish Walk in-hand, under
saddle and at liberty. As well as being ridden by young children. He
is exceptional, he is unique, and he is different from any other
Friesian you will meet here in the US. There are no other breeding
stallions with his sire line here, he is not just any Friesian, he
is a better Friesian!
He has a wonderfully kind disposition and a very
striking, regal appearance even at his tender age. I love his long,
upright, majestic neck and he has a way of going that just permeates
elegance.
Sjoerd is available via on site AI and transported semen.
We eagerly await the following foals sired by Sjoerd in

If you own a Non-Friesian mare, and you breed your mare to Sjoerd,

Crossbred Registry (FXR). This important Registry entitles your foal

and permanent identification as well as afforded the pride and
knowledge that your foal is a recognized as part of the German
Friesian Registry! It also grants your foal the privilege to compete
at the Friesian shows and the IFSHA World Championships as well.
Below are photos of the German Crossbred Registry (FXR) registration
papers your foal will receive. They are BEAUTIFUL and bound in
leather.

Sjoerd at a recent show 12/09. 3 wins and a 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 3' 6" with a 14 year old
novice rider. 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 proudly awarded an
incredible near perfect score of 74% out of a possible 75%! Additionally,
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
Anaiah (10 years
old) sharing a moment with Sjoerd. It was too cute not to snap
a photo of.
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' 3" jump with a 3' spread, and he
clears it by more than 2"! Sjoerd took this fence at a trot!
A little tired at this point, Sjoerd still easily clears
this jump with beautiful form.

wonderful, quality, Saddleseat, Dressage, Hunter, in-hand showing, keuring, and presentation

Sjoerd exhibiting the Spanish Walk.
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
under 3 judges at only 3 yrs old - his FIRST time competing walk, trot and
canter. The girth on the saddle breaks during the victory pass, but Sjoerd
doesn't bat an eye, he never waivers even with it slapping and flipping
around! He is the ultimate gentleman and a truly exceptional stallion.
We have decided to
register Sjoerd with the German registry FPZV, as we felt this
registry suited us, Sjoerd, and his offspring far better. The German
inspectors awarded him Star stallion at the inspection held 10/08.
We did have Sjoerd inspected by the Dutch as well, and they also awarded
him the coveted Star stallion award.
This is the highest award given by the registries and it is not
easily achieved. We
are thrilled and honored that Sjoerd was awarded Star by both the
Germans and the Dutch as another
confirmation of his exceptional quality and that he achieved this at
the tender age of THREE years old. He is being handled by the Dutch
"runners" in the photos below. You can see his 2009 German
Inspection photos towards the top of this page.

Sjoerd is the Region 10, Two-Time UNANIMOUS CHAMPION
Sjoerd competed at the Friesian
Region 10 Championship. He
entered and won 2 classes unanimously: Region 10 Champion Junior Stallion
In-Hand and Region 10 Champion English Pleasure
Junior Horse! This is a photo of his
trophies and ribbons.
The show was held in doors in very low light so the photos did not come
out sharply.
Sjoerd at the Viva Del
Mar show 8/08. He
won the junior stallion in-hand class and went on to take Champion of Champions
beating out all other winners from all the halter classes and all ages all
sexes! He won his under saddle class and took Champion English Pleasure
Open! 4 classes, 4 wins!
Modeling his Champion of Champions ribbon!
He bested the current World Champion Friesian Senior Stallion and all
genders to win this coveted Champion ribbon.
Sjoerd is the
*UNANIMOUS* WORLD CHAMPION 2 year old colt, the WORLD RESERVE CHAMPION STALLION OF ALL AGES ATH, and the
WORLD RESERVE CHAMPION Baroque Stallion of all ages, all
this at
the tender age of 2 years old. Show photos at the 2007 World
Championships in St. Louis, MO. 10/07.

ribbons.
Sjoerd Tsaar Prevails is 10 months old in
the photos. He is HUGE! EXTREMELY tall, long legged, outstanding
bone, wonderful upright neck, laid back shoulder, huge hip, super
athletic with incredible movement, lift, reach and extension! He is
gorgeous in person and photos do him no justice. He is shown in his
winter coat, being shown Sport Horse in Hand at the Sierra Empire Horse
Show 1/31/10. He won his class, I think it is a first of many wins for
this gorgeous boy!
This colt is the spitting image of his Word
champion sire Sjoerd but got the added bonus of "pretty" from his
Arabian dam! We are all very excited about the quality and
beauty of this colt. Sjoerd Tsaar Prevails will be shown continuously
throughout 2010 by us on behalf of his owners. He will be shown to
the Arabian Regionals as well as the Friesian World Championships in Oct
2010 unless he is sold first. Owners are asking $15,000.

gorgeous mover.
