In September 2008, Sanneke became a MODEL mare!  Congratulations to Rosanne and her breeder G. van der Ark!    We are SO excited for you!!!
 
 

Sanneke has been sold to Dr. Rosanne Palermo of Erie PA!  Here is a reference letter written to Legacy Friesians owner, Sue Zoltner, from Dr. Rosanne Palermo:

Buying Sanneke and Trinity PJ through you has been a great experience. I talked to several other importers before finding you. You are the most knowledgeable and helpful person I talked to. You listened to what I was looking for and found me a mare who was exactly what I wanted. She and her foal are absolutely wonderful. They are beautiful, gentle, smart and a true blessing.
Thank you for all of your help and advice both before and after the sale. It is comforting to know that you are always available to answer questions and to help guide me through the keuring process.
I highly recommend you and your services to anyone and everyone looking to purchase a Friesian.
Dr Rosanne Palermo
 

The best reference is a repeat customer... and Dr. Palermo has since bought 2 new foals from us- Valentijn PJ, and Teatske!
 
 
 

Sanneke and Rosanne, after Sanneke won Grand Champion Mare in Sept 2006

This was our original advertisement on Sanneke- note that we were NOT exaggerating when we said she has a chance for model... because now she is!!!  We try to accurately represent all our sale horses.  

Sanneke van het Oosterland is a first premie star mare and she has the same mother as the approved stallion TJESSE 400.     If any mare has a chance to be model, it's this mare.  She has scored a 77 on her IBOP test, which is one of the requirements for MODEL status.  The other requirements are that she is a 1st premie star mare (which she is) and that she has had at least one offspring (she has had 5): 

2002 Hiswa PJ 2e premie 
2003 Jelto PJ 2e premie  (he's going to be a stallion candidate next year)
2004 Majesteit PJ 2e premie
2005 Pieter PJ 2e premie 

On January 28, 2006 Sanneke got her 10th point in level L2, and will be moving to level M dressage in her next show.
