Congratulations
to Kathleen, of Oregon! Kathleen changed his name from Lars to Lolke.
Here is a letter from Kathleen about her experience. Below are photos
of her first ride on Lolke!
Dear Sue,
I just wanted to write (AGAIN)
and thank you for bringing Lolke into my life! He is the 2nd horse
I have purchased from you sight-unseen, and your word is truly your bond.
He is everything you promised except for the fact that he is even more
beautiful seen in person. He is adapting incredibly well and quickly
to life in the US, which attests to the accuracy and truth of your description
of his laid-back personality. He is exactly what I was seeking, and
more. As usual, there was no pressure, and it was a pleasure working
with you. It is so nice to know that when you quote a price, it includes
everything and you make it so easy by handling all the importing and shipping
and paperwork. Like magic, a fairytale horse ends up on my doorstep.
For horses of such extraordinary quality and your consistently superior
customer service, I marvel at how your horses remain affordable. Thank
heaven for that since just one of these beauties is simply not enough!
The picture of me with the HUGE smile (and bad riding posture) pretty much
says it all--I couldn't believe that it was Lars' FIRST ride here in the
US and he was so mellow and willing to stretch and relax with me even though
he could tell I was nervous. I can't say enough about the superior
quality of your horses and your unflagging integrity. You shouldn't
be surprised to hear that I was talking to one of the best vets in our
area recently and she mused aloud at your unparallelled honesty and the
quality of your horses! Lars will join Dolce, the first friesian
I purchased from you, at Grand View Stables. Dolce is the current
darling and heart throb of the barn, but Lars will soon join him and I'm
sure they'll share the title of Barn Kings before long. Thank you
again for such a gorgeous sweet horse and a terrific buying experience.
Although buying a horse sight-unseen from anyone else is unthinkable, I
wouldn't hesitate for a second and I would urge anyone who is considering
this idea to contact you immediately since your horses sell so fast. Best wishes and thank you again for Lars--he
is such a noble gift to me during such a difficult time in my life.
