UPDATE - JUNE
2008 “Wybrand is doing
so well and he and I are riding and partnering in such great harmony.
It is hard to believe that it’s been nearly a year since I first came out
to meet him at Legacy Friesians. No doubt in my mind that he’s making
and leaving a legacy here in New Jersey. He really does have many
of the traits of his ancestral roots, Lammert 260 and Oege 267 Pref.
Your recommendation that Wybrand was the right Friesian for me has stood
the test of time. He is better and better each day. Thanks.”
Wybrand
is now sold! Congratulations to Anne and David of New Jersey!!! Wybrand
has now made it to his new home in NJ, and here is the report we just received
from Anne and David!:
Dear
Sue: Wybrand arrived
today! He came with his head held high and he proudly stepped out
of the transportation trailer as if he owned the place and was waiting
for his applause. He was more magnificent than I remembered when
I saw him a couple of weeks ago. He already has started to settle
in and has quite a charming temperament, just like he showed me when I
first visited Legacy Friesians to see him. Your description of him
on your web site was just as he was in real life when I visited Legacy
Friesians last month. These are some photos from his first day today
in New Jersey. Thanks for bringing this “Big Handsome Boy” into my
life.

Here
is a customer referral from Anne and David regarding their buying experience:
Dear Sue:
What a great experience.
I can’t recall a buying experience that was more energizing, interesting
and fun. Sue, your careful attention to detail and patience in answering
questions demonstrated that you know your Friesian subject matter.
There wasn’t a question you didn’t have information about. Additionally,
your focus on addressing all our major concerns or issues really brought
us to a buying decision quickly, but without pressure. We didn’t
“get sold” but we “decided to buy”. There is a big difference and
we felt good about the buying decision. You know how to build a trusting
relationship with the buyer.
From the very
start of our discussions you have demonstrated integrity and candidness.
Your helpful assistance and patience provided during our buying decision
process gave us confidence that we were going to find the right Friesian
for us. Good businesses are based on long-term relationships and
reputation. Reputation is established with consistent integrity,
honesty and staying with commitments. You showed us this was your
style and way to do business. Legacy Friesians is definitely building
a strong reputation and we are convinced we made the right decision to
buy and bring home Wybrand from your stable. Even the transportation
company you used was top notch in the elements of care, concern and compassion
for him. We are sure this also contributed to his low stress journey
across the country. All this resulted in a highly positive experience
and
absolutely no doubt that Wybrand is a happy horse. Of course, we
are happy too as you can see by the pictures.

Wybrand
is an 8 year old gelding who has been extensively shown in dressage competitions
in Holland. He has worked up to through the levels and is now showing
level M (between level 1 and 2), and has points in level M. Click

to see our best attempt at documenting how the levels compare!
He
knows his lateral work, walk to canter transitions, shoulder in.
His damsire, Oege, passed on his long flowing mane! His sire, Lammert
gave him his beautiful baroque conformation and laid back attitude.
He is truly a schoolmaster that you can learn to ride on.
