A HUGE Congratulations to June, of Northern California on her first Friesian! 

June had this to say about Hilbrant:
"He is absolutely PERFECT.  He is extremely smart, gorgeous, and loves attention.  He is the most responsive horse I have ever ridden.  It is an absolute thrill to ride him!"
 

UPDATE JUNE 16, 2008:
"Hilbrant is doing wonderfully.  He is very happy and healthy, though he's putting on a tad of weight...  If he or I could ask for anything more it would be riding time.  I've been riding him in the arena and taken him out in the neighborhood a couple of times.  He is the biggest sweetheart I've ever known." 
"He is the biggest LOVE of a horse I've ever had, and sooo easy to do anything with, both because he's so smart and so willing.  I love him with all my heart and he is priceless. "

Hilbrant came to Sylvia Lindström's stable when he was 3 years old. Sylvia has carefully educated and trained him in the Swedish way of training dressage-horses: mostly outside, in all weather. That makes Hilbrant that cool and relaxed as he is today. Hilbrant learns quickly and it is a pleasure working with him. He is that really personal kind of horse that whinnies when you call his name and bonds really much with his owner. A horse like Hilbrant you get once in a lifetime!!

He knows his lateral work and is easy on the leg. He canters from the walk, does simple changes and counter canter. He is learning the spanish walk and having a lot of fun with that.
Sylvia has been riding him often outside, he likes cantering at the beach or through the forest. As you see on the photos--he is very fun to ride!! Uncomplicated, cool,  and easy in all situations.

Hilbrant is all in one: a really talented dressage horse, a stunning show-horse, a friend and partner outsides on the trail rides and even a lovely driving horse (has been driving in Holland as 3 years old). He is safe in the traffic and forgiving if the rider makes a mistake.

As Hilbrant´s farrier, Bengt Gustafsson, says: "There is only one Friesian horse like Hilbrant. He is so stunning! He is simply the best!"
