🖤 Santofria van Brookside “Aria” 🖤

Registered KFPS Friesian Mare

5 Years Old • 15.3 Hands • Black

$30,🥕🥕🥕 OBO (Best Reasonable Offer)

Santofria van Brookside, affectionately known as Aria, is the kind of mare that reminds you why Friesians capture people’s hearts. Beautiful, intelligent, and genuinely devoted to her people, she represents the rare combination of exceptional pedigree, thoughtful upbringing, and an uncomplicated temperament that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.

Raised by the same owner since she was just nine months old, Aria’s entire history is known. Every aspect of her care, handling, and development has been thoughtfully managed, allowing her to mature mentally and physically at her own pace. She has never been rushed, overfaced, or passed from program to program. Instead, she has been given the time to develop into a confident, willing, and dependable young mare.

Whether you’re searching for your next dressage partner, a versatile riding horse, or simply the kind of Friesian you’ll look forward to greeting every morning, Aria offers something that cannot be trained into a horse—an exceptional mind, a willing heart, and the desire to be your partner.

A Mind Worth More Than Gold

Aria’s pedigree speaks for itself. Her beauty is unmistakable. Her movement reflects generations of thoughtful breeding. Yet, her greatest quality is something that cannot be found on a registration certificate—her character.

She is remarkably kind, gentle, and people-oriented. Rather than displaying the stereotypical “mare attitude,” Aria possesses the quiet, dependable personality more commonly associated with a gelding.

She genuinely enjoys being with people. If given the opportunity, she’ll leave her pasture mates to meet you at the gate simply because she wants to spend time with you.

She is affectionate without being pushy, confident without being reactive, and possesses the type of willing disposition that makes every ride enjoyable. She truly is a “puppy dog in your pocket” and forms a genuine bond with her people.

Training & Rideability

Aria is sound and confidently performs all three gaits:

* Walk
* Trot
* Canter

She has been ridden in both English and Western tack, giving her a versatile foundation for whichever direction her next owner chooses.

Her movement is naturally balanced, rhythmic, and comfortable while maintaining the expressive elegance Friesians are admired for. She demonstrates elasticity throughout her body, good reach through the shoulder, and an easy, willing way of going that makes her enjoyable to ride.

Although I have never personally pursued showing, Aria has been exposed to the atmosphere of large show barns and busy competition environments. She remained calm, attentive, and completely unbothered by the activity around her. She has never competed simply because that was never my goal—not because she lacks the temperament.

Whether your aspirations include dressage, pleasure riding, working equitation, trail riding, or simply enjoying an exceptional partner, Aria possesses the versatility and mindset to continue in virtually any direction.

Adaptable to Nearly Any Lifestyle

Aria is the definition of a “go with the flow” horse.

She has happily lived:

* Stalled
* Turned out 24/7
* Alone
* In group turnout

She currently lives outdoors full-time with two pasture mates and integrates well into herd life while remaining equally comfortable on her own. She adapts easily to changes in her environment and routine and has never shown a preference for one lifestyle over another.

Exceptional Care

Aria has wanted for nothing throughout her life and has been meticulously maintained.

* Registered KFPS Friesian Mare
* Owned by the same owner since 9 months of age
* Complete known history
* Sound and solid under saddle
* Walk • Trot • Canter
* Ridden English & Western

Pedigree

Aria is by Wolfert 467 Sport AAA and out of Viva Las Vegas TCB, carrying generations of respected KFPS bloodlines including:

* Wolfert 467 Sport AAA
* Felle 422 Sport
* Tsjerk 328 Sport Preferent
* Fetse 293 Preferent
* Oege 267 Preferent
* Jakob 302 Sport

These bloodlines are recognized for producing Friesians with exceptional breed type, athleticism, expressive movement, rideability, and willing temperaments—qualities that are reflected in Aria herself.

Finding the right home is far more important than making a quick sale. Aria has been a cherished part of my life for more than four years, and my priority is finding someone who will appreciate not only her beauty and pedigree, but also the kind, affectionate personality that makes her so special.

Referral Bonus

A 10% referral commission will be paid upon the successful completion of the sale to any known acquaintance—or to an individual referred through a known acquaintance—whose introduction directly results in Aria’s purchaser.

If you believe Aria may be the partner you’ve been searching for, I’d be happy to answer your questions and tell you more about her. Additional photos, videos, veterinary records, and pedigree information are available upon request.

Regardless if you’re full board or rough board, you should always be able to trust and depend on your barn community.

I’m honored that my barn family trusts me enough to allow me to care for their furry family members.

Today is national “Dress up your pet day”. Let’s so those adorable pets in the comments! ⬇️ 🐕 🐱 🦎

🩸 January is National Blood Donor Month 🩸

Winter months are some of the hardest for blood banks. Between cold weather, busy schedules, and illness, donations often drop while the need stays the same. Just like in the barn, care doesn’t pause because it’s cold.

Here at MMF winter means extra blankets, checking water buckets, and making sure every horse is safe and comfortable. Blood donation follows that same mindset; showing up consistently so others can rely on you when they need it most.

One blood donation can help save up to three lives. If you’re healthy and able, consider scheduling a donation this January and helping keep our community strong through the winter season.

Thank you to everyone who gives back inside the barn and beyond. ❤️🐴

The biggest question I get asked… What’s it like being a farmer?

My answer…. living with the fullest heart being able to take care of the most amazing creatures on the planet.

Some days are long and hot. Other days feel like a blink of an eye even when you’re out in frigid temps helping these amazing animals and the incredible humans that were blessed to be their owners.

The picture may be confusing but with the help of a boarder and my husband, we were able to save the owner a significant amount of money to remove sutures.

This is what I call a community, more importantly; this is family.

Today is all about the simple, powerful act of giving;
whether it’s time, support, encouragement, or kindness. In a world that moves so quickly, Taking a moment to lift someone else up can make all the difference.

Kindness doesn’t have to be grand to matter. A smile, a helping hand, a message of support, or a small act of generosity can ripple farther than we ever realize.

On this Giving Tuesday, let’s challenge ourselves to spread a little extra kindness—to our neighbors, our community, and the people who make our days brighter. 💛

How will you give kindness today?
