Legacy Friesians is located in the
heart of Oregon's wine country, in Newberg, Oregon, but we have customers
from almost every US state and Canada as well. We import about 30-40
Friesians every year for ourselves and our customers, and we have a very
close bond with our business partner in Holland, and also represent some
horses from one of the top breeders in the USA. By working
with only one trusted source in Holland, we are able to have confidence
in the quality of our FPS/FHANA Friesians. We really care about QUALITY
and listing only the best Friesian horses on our site.
Proof of this statement can be demonstrated by how our horses did at the
2006
keuring in Eugene, OR! We always some adult Friesians and
some foals for sale at our farms in the USA. If we don't happen to
have exactly what you want, we can help you import a Friesian from our
partner in the Netherlands. We have special volume discounts with
our partner and with an international shipper that allow us to keep our
import prices very low (especially to the east coast, where you get an
additional shipping discount). Because of our connections,
buying a 'direct from Holland' horse from us is actually cheaper than going
to Holland and finding your own Friesian, and the quality of our imported
horses is unmatched for the price. We absolutely DO NOT CUT
CORNERS on our imported horses. We spend more money to use only reputable
quarantine centers and haulers. Our philosophy is to use only high
quality haulers and quarantine centers so that our horses are happy, healthy,
and ready to go to their new home in the USA.
We do everything in our power
to ensure that the customer has an excellent experience and we put customer
satisfaction as our number one priority. Please check our referrals
page to see some of our customer's comments! Also, check out
this independent
and informative website which rates Friesian Businesses.
We encourage our buyers to
keep sending photos and updates on their Friesian after they receive him/her,
and we update their horse's webpage on a monthly basis. Our customers
are like part of our family, so we encourage all our buyers to keep in
touch and let us know what they are doing with their Friesian.
All of our Friesians are FPS /
FHANA registered, and Legacy Friesians is a member in good standing with
the FPS and FHANA and can be found on FHANA's breeder links page.
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) As a child, Sue started taking
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.
After college, and through her mid 30's, 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 2002, 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.
