Dear Sue, I have been meaning to
write and thank you for your assistance in purchasing Gerlanda (I now call
her [Grace] Holiday)!! This is the first time I have purchased a
horse site unseen from you, but I had no reservations about purchasing
this beautiful mare due to the phenomenal experiences I had with LegacyFriesians
in purchasing Dolce and Sanneke. It has also been particularly reassuring
to have met and become acquainted with your business partners in Holland--seeing
their stable and seeing that they select only beautiful high quality
horses with excellent bloodlines gave me all the more confidence.
Sue handled all of the shipping, the CEM quarantine at Blue
Diamond Stables in Ohio (Awesome Place!!!), and even helped me line
up a high-quality horse shipper here in the United Staes. All of
Sue's behind-the-scenes legwork resulted in making this a literally effortless
experience for me.
As for Holiday, she is everything
I had hoped for and more! She is further confirmation that friesian
mares are not typical mares--she is not moody or irritable with me or the
other horses. I have fortunately been blessed with a superior trainer
in Briana Thomas, but Holiday has turned out to be an even better riding
horse than I had expected. Posting her trot is delightful and she
even makes me look good when I sit her trot! I have recently moved
her to my home (since she has outgrown all of our saddles with her matronly figure)---she is
a sweet and gentle soul and has taken the transition well. She comes
up frequently to check in with me and even keeps me company while I clean
stalls... I want to thank you again
for another marvelous experience with purchasing a gorgeous horse through
Legacy Friesians. For anyone considering purchasing a horse site
unseen, I wouldn't hesitate to at least inquire--Sue provides questions
and answers to anything you might ask in a prompt, thorough and courteous
manner. And you're probably noticing how quickly the horses on her
website are selling to new owners in the United States--it's just another
indication of Sue's reputation for her integrity, customer service and
the quality of her imported horses. That combination has created
a top-tier reputation for Legacy Friesians and keeps her customers referring
her to others and coming backthemselves! Thank you again for such a wonderful
experience!
Sincerely,
Kathleen Twist Beavercreek OR
