Back to flying....
|
 |
You may have noticed that there was not a lot of hullabaloo about the stallion keuring on our web page. During the stallion show, I was in full time recurrent training to fly the Boeing 767. We have been to the stallion keuring many times and kept abreast of developments via cellphone and internet. We are proud of our affiliates in the Netherlands, the Wulms family, for the acceptance of a stallion born on their farm (Seppe) for the 70 day testing. So, things are changing here at Tailwind Friesians. You will see us advertise fewer, but higher quality horses. You will deal directly with the Wulms family when you are inquiring about their horses. We will still uphold the utmost of service, but our services are remaining a hobby, a non-profit activity, and a passion that runs as deeply as our love of flying. Our farm is fully attended and in capable hands during our flights and we are focusing more on breeding, riding, and developing only the highest quality horses in the world. We look forward to a bright 2008.

Click here to see our trainer, Tommy Allen, working with our star mare Johana. And, coming Soon, profile on Claire Layman; our on-site "ranch hand" and previous Ellensburg Rodeo Queen. Zega has gone to a wonderful new home in Oregon. Congratulations to Siri and Troy Tobey. They have purchased 1st premie star mare Folkje and two lovely fillies. Their gelding, Murk, earned a 2nd Premie Ster rating at the Monroe Keuring and also the grand champion title. Murk was imported by Tailwind Friesians.

Carriage Expo
|
 |
Part of my travels included the Paard & Koets Carriage Expo in Den Bosch. While many of us enjoy the stallion keuring each January, this driving event is something to consider if you are interested in the horse and carriage and want to see something new and different (and avoid the crowds). Click here for more info. Expo is done for this year, but put this on your November calendar for 2008.
