Sylvia Lindstroem is now visiting us from Sweden,  and rode Pedro at the Northwest Horse Expo March 23 and 24 in Albany, Oregon. 
Legacy Friesians brought 2 horses there, and presented them as part of the Cascade Friesian Horse Club's breed showcase. 

Unfortunately, the indoor photos didn't come out very well, although a professional photographer, Richard Beard, got some good ones that we may buy later.  Below are photos of Sylvia Lindstroem on Pedro, and myself (Sue Zoltner) on Arabella.   Sylvia rode Pedro to demonstrate the Friesian breed's ability to compete in dressage. I rode Arabella in a medieval costume.  Arabella was only started under saddle in October, 2007 and she did great in front of an audience.   After it was over, Sylvia and I took them for a walk through the crowded expo grounds and they were completely bombproof.
