Sue Zoltner, owner, Legacy Friesians
and Hindrik Lauwers. Hindrik and Sue were Reserve
Champions at First Level in 2010. And also Reserve Champions at 2nd
Level in 2011, and were 3rd at Region 6 Championships in 2011
Legacy Friesians is located in the
heart of Oregon's wine country, in Newberg, Oregon. We have only
3 select broodmares and we breed top quality foals. Each
foal that we breed has been meticulously planned by choosing the
best stallion to complement the mare. Quality is what we breed,
year after year. Proof of this statement can be demonstrated
by how our horses did at the
2010
keuring in Ridgefield, WA!
If we don't happen to have exactly
what you want, we can refer you to a trusted friend and trainer in the
Netherlands.
The founder and owner of Legacy
Friesians, Sue Zoltner, is originally from Rochester, New York. She
has worked as an image scientist for Xerox corporation for over 19 years.
(she still works there, full time) From age 12-15, Sue took
hunt seat riding lessons at Huntington
Meadow Stables in Webster, NY. Although she couldn't have her
own horse at that time, the dream of owning her own horse stayed with her.
In the 1990s-2003, the dream was put on the back burner as Sue dedicated
all her free time towards being a competitive
runner... running races from 5Ks to marathons. In 2003, Sue was
able to transfer to to Xerox's engineering center in Wilsonville, Oregon,
and she decided it was time to make her horse dream come true and founded
Legacy Friesians shortly after. Sue's current hobbies include
studying the Dutch language, taking dressage lessons, and of course uniting
Friesians from the Netherlands with their new loving American owners.

Janet, Our business partner in
Holland, has a keen eye for finding us the best sale
horses!! Janet's father was
the breeder of the approved stallion, Tjesse 400, and he still runs the
Oosterland stable. Janet is an expert at keuring preparation and
comes over every year to help us at our local keuring.
Sylvia Lindstrom has been training
Friesians for over 20 years and lives in Sweden.
She is partnered with Legacy Friesians
and comes over at least once a year to conduct clinics/demos and intensively
trains our horses. She will be offering horses for sale that are
trained to higher levels than we can normally get. Right now she
is training a Sibald 380 stallion who is coming along very nicely, and
is working on the Spanish walk and he's only 4 and a half years old!!!
