Typically we keep any new or press releases on Sjoerd on his "Sjoerd In The News Page." However, this Feb 2012 issue of the California Horsetrader (www.horsetrader.com) was just too incredible an experience to not share here on Sjoerd's main page. We had NO idea Sjoerd was going to grace the cover of this magazine. We are extremely thankful and grateful to the California Horsetrader for giving us the opportunity to share Sjoerd's story. See below for the exceptional article!

This amazing article was done by Warren Wilson of the California Horsetrader. I am very touched and honored he chose to do this article on Sjoerd and our family!

Below are a few videos of Sjoerd from the IFSHA World/Grand National Championships

2011 IFSHA World Champion Friesian Liberty Stallion

Watch until the end of the video, when Sjoerd's music begins to replay after the Champion roses have been placed on his back, I LOVE what the gentleman at the end of the video does. Standing to his feet, he raises his hands in praise and honor of God. I do not know this man, nor did I see him do that at the time. It was not until I purchased this video from the show videographer and saw the man drawn to praise God at that moment, it absolutely moved my soul. It made the long haul from southern CA to Virginia with 6 horses and 3 teenage girls; the days, weeks and months of preparation and training; the thousands of dollars we had to raise for the trip and the sacrifices made in order to to compete at the 2011 World Champions COMPLETELY and utterly worth it! Whether he was the only one or whether there were others, touching his life alone is priceless to us. We hope you watch this video and are blessed!

2010 Region 10 IFSHA Friesian Liberty Champion

Sjoerd did not just win ribbons and trophies at the 2010 Region 10 Championships, more importantly was he touched the hearts of the judges, stewards and the spectators at the show with his heart, presence, disposition and amazing God given talent!! His liberty performance brought the house down and tears to nearly all who personally witnessed it. We are thankful to be able to bless others with this performance! God can use all of His creation to touch hearts and lives.

The Liberty 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 completed just 5 minutes before he did his Liberty performance.  We thank David of Davko Films for creating this video of Sjoerd's Liberty class for us. 

Sjoerd Is The Most Highly Decorated Friesian In North America

Sjoerd is a once in a lifetime stallion

Sjoerd is a gift from God and we hope you are blessed and touched by his pages of videos and photos! Sjoerd is an elegant Purebred Friesian who is a Double Ster (Star), First Premie, High Merit stallion, imported from the Netherlands. He is  elegant, absolutely captivating and the phenomenal quality of this exceptional stallion is simply undeniable.

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 the only breeding stallion in the U.S. sired by TSJALKE 397. A GREAT outcross stallion for the heavily in-bred U.S. lines.

Sjoerd is truly a *one-of-a-kind* Friesian stallion. His disposition, unique conformation, and incredible movement: elevation and impulsion WITH extension not only garnered him 38 IFSHA World/Grand National Champion Friesian Titles but he consistently wins over the hearts of spectators and judges! Sjoerd is a CHAMPION in multiple disciplines: In-Hand, Saddle Seat, Show Hack, Liberty, Equitation, Dressage Hack, In-Hand Trail, Walk/Trot, Ridden Trail, Hunter and Costume. He is an INCREDIBLE VERSATILE athlete.

 Both the German (FPZV) and the Dutch (KFPS) registries awarded him the coveted (and not easily earned!) STAR (ster) 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 and he was "Highly Recommended" for the FPZV Stallion Performance Testing at just 4 years old! In 2011 he went through a very thorough official FEIT Inspection through the Friesian Heritage Horse Registry (HH) and he was awarded First Premie, High Merit and the highest scoring horse in his category in the history of the registry! All of Sjoerd's Purebred Friesian and Part-bred Friesian foals are eligible for registration through Friesian Heritage Horse, IFSHA and USEF.

Sjoerd has a short, strong back, short coupling, and deep, strong hip give him a natural ability to collect under himself and his extremely laid back shoulder and perfectly set neck 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 LOVES people and his willing heart an attitude make every thing we do with him a sheer pleasure. He has greatly blessed our lives and we hope to share him with you through his pages of photos and videos.

Check out his Fun Page and his Foals as well.

Sjoerd is simply an amazing stallion, beyond description or comprehension; truly a horse of a lifetime!

He has superior conformation, an incredible disposition, extreme athleticism, unparalleled versatility with exceptional beauty. He also passes these traits consistently on to his foals.

Sjoerd possesses phenomenal athletic talent and he has a presence about him that is indescribable. If you like him in his photos and videos, you will love him in person.

Sjoerd competed with Darcy Edwards in Training level Dressage Test 3 at the 2011 IFSHA World/Grand National Championships. This was his second time doing Dressage and his first time doing Test 3, we are extremely pleased as they scored a 65.2%! The Judge gave them great praise and we look forward to more Dressage adventures in 2012.

Sjoerd and Tynan competing in Fantasy Costume at the 2011 IFSHA World/Grand National Championships where they took 3rd place out of 17 entries. This entire costume for horse and rider was hand made by a very talented woman named Dulce. She had never created a horse costume and she normally does belly dancing costumes, crochet, human costumes and clothing. Not only did she do a truly AMAZING job on this costume but she created it in only a few days due to our time crunch! This costume is far more amazing in person as this photo was taken at night and in doors so the quality does not do her work justice. Dulces Fashion check out her webpage or new Facebook page Dulces-Fashion to view some of her other kid creations. Contact her for beautiful custom equine or human costume creations!

This was Tynan's first time competing in Show Hack where she and Sjoerd had to exhibit 20 gaits superbly to win the class against outstanding competition and all adult riders. See the video above to view their brilliant Show Hack performance and the announcement that they won the class Unanimously!

Sjoerd's amazing accomplishments are nearly innumerable. His road to success almost unbelievable. His natural talent and presence are indescribable. We are very thankful for the gift he is to us in our lives.

Sjoerd, undeniably, is the horse of a lifetime
