Elevation Friesians
Previously based out of Elbert, Colorado
Welcome!
I am passionate about many things… Friesians, Dressage, and all-things horses are the top of my list. Thanks for stopping by!
Previously, Elevation Friesians was located at 7,435 ft in elevation in Black Forest, Colorado. For years, I called the modest 5 acre ranch my paradise and home. Shift happened, and now I am heartbreakingly horse-less… but I am grateful to currently live in beautiful Missoula, Montana, and skiing bides my time until I have Friesians again.
Though I no longer have Friesians of my own, I still adore horses.
Through many years of making new equestrian friends and wonderful network connections, I am happy to freely share a myriad of resources for elite equine athletes for sale, Dressage training, horse handling, clinics, lessons, marketing, video production, and web site design services. Feel free to call or write if I can be of service. I always enjoy meeting new people and sharing my love for horses… most especially the magic, beauty, and nuances of the Friesian breed.
About Elevation
Elevation Friesians, LLC was, in the past, a breeder of purebred Friesian horses; a member in good standing with the Friesian Horse Association of North America (FHANA) and the royal studbook Dutch registry, De Koninklijke Vereniging Het Friesch Paarden-Stamboek (FPS).
Previously, in Colorado, EF stewarded three FPS/FHANA Friesian mares, as well as their combined three foals. Because of life shift, doing what it does when you’re busy making other plans, these sweet mares and two precious Miniature horses were re-homed to loving families.
EF was always very careful in selection of the Friesian mares and stallions, as the goal was to preserve type and the betterment of the breed. I appreciate the rich history of Friesians, and always like to talk about this wonderful horse.
I am passionate about horses and love to share that passion with others. Elevation Friesians, LLC was established to realize my lifelong dream of raising Friesian horses. Though I no longer have my ranch, I highly recommend visiting a Friesian breeder near you so you too can experience the breathtaking beauty, wonderful temperament, and awe-inspiring elevated movement of the magnificent Friesian breed in person.
If you are interested in adding a Friesian to your life, I urge great caution – the breed is very fragile, they have many physical issues that stem from over a century of in-breeding. Pour your heart into researching the nuances and attributes of the breed before you buy – not to discourage you from stewarding a Friesian of your own, but to be prepared and educated on how to prevent or manage what may arise. As special as Friesians are, they are also fraught with health challenges. Regardless, their gentle, kind, loving and loyal hearts will always win over ours.
