The 2010 foals are available! We don't have a
lot of great photos yet, but we have had some inquiries into our 2010 foal crop,
so we are listing them now and will add photos in the coming weeks. We
have three available right now and will have one more later in the summer.
We probably say this every year, but we feel the 2010 foals are some of the best
we have ever had.
We feel that our horses are priced below their market value, but we are
taking into consideration transport costs from our remote area and the current
economy.
We take pride in the fact that many
of our customers are repeat buyers and they stay in touch because they know we
genuinely care about their satisfaction and the continued well-being of the
horses we sell.
All of our foals are
registered with the Friesian Sport Horse Registry. They are handled
regularly and will have graduated from Kindergarten by the time they are ready
to leave. This includes halter broke, stand tied, load and haul in
trailer, stand quietly for farrier and grooming, and be exposed to many things
such as dogs, ATV, lawn mowers, pasture life with other horses, etc. We
repeatedly receive reports from new owners that they are amazed at how calm and
relaxed their foal is when it arrives at their location. We believe early,
positive exposure to a variety of environments is the key to a well adjusted
youngster. We
also have a satisfaction guarantee - if you don't love your Prairie Wind horse,
send it back to us! It is that simple. We take pride that we have
never had a customer who didn't love their horse!
NOTE: As
you may already know, we seriously curtailed our breeding in 2007 in response to
the over saturation of the Friesian cross market. We
are planning to do the same in 2010 as the horse market is struggling right now
and we don't want to add to the excess of horses. So, we will only have
one or two horses to offer for sale in 2011.
NEW 6-13-10: We
are now offering a $500 shipping discount on any Prairie Wind horse purchased at
full asking price! You can choose how you want to apply that discount to suit
your situation.

We are just
amazed at how nice this filly is becoming! She is literally blossoming
before our eyes and we are thrilled at the transformation that is taking place!
She not only looks beautiful, but she is very sweet and nice to work with.
At only nine months old she is stunning in her beauty, has fantastic
conformation, has a mental maturity beyond her age and is a great mover!
She is going to be an incredible mare when she matures. We have seen
Friesian/Shire crosses advertised for almost three times this price and they
aren't as pretty as this girl. Her bloodlines are the best of both breeds
and she got all the beauty and quiet sensibility that you could wish for.
We expect this filly will mature at around 17 hands and will be more refined
than most draft crosses you see and the Friesian influence is very evident in
how she looks, acts and moves.

2010 Foals
Prairie Ballerina
|
This
sweet black filly was named Ballerina (Bali) because her prance is just so soft
and delicate. She is fun to watch and fun to spend time with.
She is more laid back than the other two fillies and loves to just hang
out with people. She will politely ask to be scratched and then
will stand like a statue while you lavish her with attention. And
when you are done, she understands and doesn't push for more. She
is very accepting and we can do almost anything with her out in the
pasture including pick up her feet. With her super quiet demeanor
she will make someone a great kid or husband horse, or a perfect horse
for the less experienced rider. She will mature at 16.1 to
16.3 hands. |

Our first
blue roan 3/4 Friesian! We have been planning and hoping for this
perfect filly for such a long time, and she is finally here! From
the time we decided that Sapphire was just too nice to part with, we
have planned to breed her to a nice purebred Friesian and hope for a
blue roan 3/4 Friesian. In the summer of 2009 we bred Sapphire to
a first premium FPS stallion from Texas and waited. On May 12,
2010, Sapphire blessed us with a beautiful filly that was just perfect!
And, we soon discovered that we were blessed even further with the color
we had been hoping for: Blue Roan! We are so excited. It is
going to be extremely difficult to part with Blue Ice, but she was born
and bred to shine and she needs to venture out into the world to do
that. We have seen ads for blue roan Friesians where the true
color is dubious. We guarantee that this filly is true blue roan
and she will be the same gorgeous shade that her mother is. And
she will have even more of the Friesian flair to make her a head turner.
To top it off she is bold, very intelligent, has a fantastic muscular
conformation. She really is the whole package for the
discriminating horse owner. This filly will be weaned and graduated from
kindergarten (see above) in mid-September. The above price is the
pre-weaning price. After weaning when she has shed out blue, her
price will likely increase to $7500 which reflects how rare she is.
7-03-10 Update: This filly
just keeps getting better and better - and surpassing even our high
expectations! We just can't say enough about how special this girl
is - and will be. She really has everything you could want in a
performance horse, a show stopper and a best friend. |

The first
thing we said when this filly was born was "Look at those legs!"
We've had some long legged foals before, but I think she takes the prize
for the longest. Lacey and Alex are both 16.3, so Diva should be
the same when she matures, but she may be more refined with more leg.
She has a wonderful personality and shows promise of being very showy
and athletic. She is also a 3/4 Friesian, so she will have plenty
of presence and movement! Diva would make an excellent jumper or
dressage prospect.
Note 7-4-10: Just received
new photos (bottom row) of Lacey's 2009 filly who is lovingly owned by
Toni in Arizona. She is just barely one year old in these photos! (the
buckskin is two years old) Simply stunning! This is a preview of
what Diva will look like. |
