14 April 2021 - Besides Friesian horses we also has been started to sell high quality Pura Raza Española (P.R.E) horses

Unfortunately, Covid 19 holds everyone in its grip. Each country has its own problems. Fortunately, we have the privilege of being able to train our Friesian and P.R.E. horses every day, to see them grow and eventually find a suitable match with our customers at home and abroad. In addition, we are thankful that despite all the misery regarding the Corona virus, we certainly have nothing to complain about when it comes to the sale of our horses, both in Europe and far beyond.
In fact, the Friesian horse is more popular than ever. Due to the scarcity in the market, there is a shortage of well-trained, healthy, honest Friesian horses. Unfortunately, year in, year out, fewer mares are being covered each year. This is mainly due to the aging of the breeders and few new breeders are coming in. So we had, (unfortunately in 2020) again a decrease of 300 less covered mares.
We were therefore diligently looking for a 2nd horse breed to sell in addition to our Friesian horses. A horse breed that is traditionally known for its cooperative, intelligent, reliable character, baroque appearance, willingness to work and with studbook registration papers to ensure quality. In addition, health is very important to us.
This has made us decide to start selling Pura Raza Española (P.R.E) horses from now on, next to the Friesian horses.
Both breeds are close to each other and also in terms of use they show many similarities. We are very happy how well this step has been received by old customers, new customers and on our social media, emails and phone calls we have received many positive responses. This way we can continue to offer you a varied selection and help you find a good match, whether it is a Friesian horse or a P.R.E horse.
All horses have been clinically and or radiographically examined for the sport which was in order. The average prices of our Friesian and P.R.E. horses are between 9.500,- and 30.000,- Euro, with some exceptions.
