Congratulations
to Monique and David Stevens and their 4 lovely daughters! Mohair
is now at her new home in Bremerton WA!!!! Here is a letter from
Monique:
"
Have you ever had a dream? Something you imagine, wish for, pray
for? I
have. I saw myself with a graceful gentle giant of a horse.
I would watch
her run and romp and marvel at her high stepping trot. She would
follow me around and want to be with me every second. No matter her
age she would be safe and slow to spook. She would represent the
best of the Friesian world and have the pedigree to prove it. She would
come from a loving home and fit in well with my horses, dog, cats
and daughters. This dream has been mine for as long as I can remember.
Sue Zoltner of Legacy Friesians gave me my dream!
Her name is Mohair. An amazing 2-year-old filly out
of Beart 411. Mohair is everything I wanted and more!
Sue made every step
of my purchase easy. She left nothing unsaid or undone. Sue
represented Mohair
accurately and completely. She was easy to deal with and
communicated clearly, quickly and consistently. Sue was patient with
my endless questions and I never felt in the least bit
pressured. I think I’ve emailed Sue a hundred times. She always
promptly responded with a cheerful disposition, even after I
got my horse home. Sue loves each of her horses. I noticed
she let a few tears fall
when Mohair loaded up into our trailer.
The first time I went to look at Mohair my eight year old went into
the stall and promptly picked up the fillies feet. Just like that…. A
2-year-old horse! My four young daughters crawled all over her and
she just
stood there like it was nothing.
It is without reservation of any sort that I recommend Sue and Legacy Friesians. In
fact, the vet I hired to do the prepurchase exam (Willamette Valley Equine)
said and
I quote, “ I have never seen anything but quality come from the horses
Sue imports.” This
vet said, “ I can’t find one single thing wrong with this horse.
I have no reservations whatsoever.” The vet went on to say that she
found the horse extremely well balanced and said that she felt the trainer
Sue hired did a wonderful job. Please
ask Sue to give you my email address and or phone number and I’ll tell
you all about my wonderful experience with her and my Mohair. Let
Sue help you make your dreams come true. You won’t regret it for a moment.
I sure don’t! "

Jan 1, 2008 " Hello-
Just wanted to let you know that Mohair is doing well under saddle.
She's so sweet. Everyone at Foxglove farms (where she is in training)
loves her. She's also growing like a weed! We measured her with an
"official" stick today at 16.2H! She's still a tad butt high too!
BIG GIRL but still a big baby. She's go to her first schooling show
the end of January. Halter and walk-trot classes. Thanks for
making her ours as we love her so. We all adore her to pieces.
XXXOO Monique "

Hello--
Writing to let you know that Mohair (Trynn) is doing great under saddle.
She's just finishing up her 90 days! She went to her first schooling
show last Saturday and did great. She was nervous, of course,
but still entered 5 classes under saddle. She got 1 1st, 2 2nds,
1 3rd and 1 4th. I am so proud of her. I've ridden
her and so has my oldest daughter. She is very soft in the mouth
but does require a fair amount of leg pressure to keep her forward.
We suspended canter work under saddle and instead spend a lot of time on
transitions. She has a great stop and MAN does she get attention
when she goes out! Her muscles are developed nicely and she's
in great shape. I'm very proud of her accomplishments and will take
her to another show in a few weeks. She's a good girl.
We love her. Monique

June 15, 2008 Hello--
Sending a few pics of our girl with Tori. They are really starting
to click together hunt. Remember that
Mohair hasn't even been under saddle 9 months yet and she has a ten year
old riding her! Tori and Mohair got
highpoint at the Saddle Club Pink Ribbon Round Up recently. This
just goes to show how wonderful horses from
Legacy Friesians are! I am so proud of our BIG girl (she's so tall)!
She's brave and learns fast. She's safe
and such a good girl. She's trail riding regularly now too and trying
so hard for me. I love this horse! Always--
Monique

Here
are some new photos of Mohair at her new home:
Monique's
daughters supplied me with these beautiful drawings!
Mohair
is a 2+ year old mare sired by Beart 411, this year's world champion.
Her sire is this year's World Champion, Beart 411, who stunned the crowd
at the stallion show with his amazing trot, and won the intensely competitive
class in Leeuwarden, Holland
(see
video of Beart 411)!
Mohair's
inbreeding coefficient is only 2.15% She got a 2nd premie at her
foal keuring.
Mohair
is from Stam line 61, a line whom has produced the famous Model preferent
mare, Nedia, mother of 4 model mares, 4 approved stallions, and 10 preferents!
The 4th generation mare on Mohair's pedigree paper is Rolanda, was a very
famous horse in Holland, a legend of her time. Rolanda won over 60
competitions in single horse driving. The breeding power of this
stam line is reflected in prizes won by Rolanda by the Breeding Groups
in Holland. Rolanda won, not once, but 5 TIMES the Blauwhuis' best
breeding group award, which is an honor that has never been repeated.
