โš”๏ธ Did you know? Friesian horses once carried knights in armor, and by the early 1900s, the breed nearly disappeared. Only three stallions stood between extinction and survival.

Today, Friesians are thriving across North America thanks to FHANAโ€™s dedication.

This yearโ€™s FHANA Fall Festival is sponsored by Kingsview Partners, a national wealth management firm that helps families with retirement, financial planning, and legacy strategies.

Visit the VIP Sponsor Lounge at the event to celebrate Friesian history โ€” and learn how they help owners protect what matters most for the future.
