Attention Friesian lovers, need advice:
I’m looking for some advice and suggestions. Years ago, I had a stallion whose bloodlines are listed below. Sadly, not long after he arrived from Holland, he passed away from a severe colic. Before he passed, we were able to save semen because we absolutely adored him and his bloodlines.
We’ve owned Friesians in the past, and one of our most special horses was also from Tsjerk. We’ve kept this semen safely stored, waiting for the right time to breed again — and I believe that time has come.
It’s been quite a while since I’ve been involved in the Friesian breeding world, so I’m not familiar with the newer stallions or current breeding lines. We’re hoping to find the right mare to produce a foal of our own. I’m not sure if she would even take given the circumstances under which we collected the semen, but Texas A&M in College Station handled the preservation process and did an excellent job.
I would love any suggestions for potential mares or compatible bloodlines to consider. Thank you in advance for any guidance you can share.
