Finding your Friesian dream horse!

If you are looking for your Friesian dream horse, do not hesitate to make inquiries or an appointment. You can contact us by phone or email. Please let us know what kind of Friesian horse you (or your student) are looking for by giving your preference for gender, age, height, schooling level and price range.

Pre purchase clinical exam

We also have every Friesian horse undergo a very strict clinical exam including all flexions, trotting on hard ground etc. We have our specialized horse clinic to perform the clinical exam the same way it is done in the United States. 
 

Blood tests

Your Friesian horse will be tested on dourine, glanders, coggins and piroplasmosis. The results for these blood tests will take three working days. Mares and stallions have to do CEM tests as well.

Friesian Gelding: Dourine, Glanders, Equine Infectious Anemia (= Coggins test), Equine Piroplasmosis (C-Elisa test and ‘Complement Fixation Test’ for Babesia Equi and Babesia Caballi). The results for these blood tests will take 5 working days. 
Friesian Mare: same as gelding + CEM tests (tests duration will take between 2 and 4 weeks)
Friesian Stallion: same as gelding + CEM tests

A physical medical examination by an official veterinary/inspector just before departure of the horse is also compulsory. This is to confirm that the animal is fit and healthy enough for the journey.

Friesians Insurance

We strongly recommend you to insure your Friesians from the moment you purchased it. Of course we can take care of this on your request.

Transportation

After we have the (negative) results of the blood and CEM tests we can look for a date that is convenient for you. Usually we can book a ticket in 1 or 2 weeks. KLM Cargo fly to almost every destinations. The Friesian horses are treated as first class passengers with specific needs. Each horse shipment is accompanied by professional grooms, who monitor the well being of the horses and will ensure stress free transport. Friesian horses for the United States of America must go for 3 days in quarantine on arrival and will then be tested on earlier mentioned diseases. When these tests give a negative results, the horses will be released from quarantine. Geldings can then travel to the final destination. Mares and stallions older than 2 years must be transported to a CEM-quarantine facility. For the other destinations a quarantine or isolation period may be required before departure of the horses.
