— Final Arrangements

Closing well.

The estate is winding down — but for the horses still on the property, and the buyers who take them home, every commitment we ever made stands. This page is what that looks like in practice.

— What we will still do

For the buyers of our remaining horses.

01 · Transport

We will see every horse to its new barn

Road and air transport for every horse leaving the property — domestic or international — coordinated by us and, where possible, paid for by the family. Our network of carriers in the Netherlands, Germany, and the East Coast is unchanged. The horse arrives the way it left: in the same hands, on the same standard.

Domestic road transport in the continental US
Air transport AMS / LGG → MIA / JFK / LAX
USDA quarantine handled end-to-end
Family covers transport for placed horses where possible

02 · Records & History

Every paper, every file, transferred in full

When a horse leaves us, you receive everything: KFPS papers, vet records back to the foaling year, inspection notes, breeding files, blood panels, dental and farrier history, and the names of every trainer who has ridden the horse. Nothing is held back. We are closing — there is no reason to.

Full KFPS / FPZV registration transferred
Vet records from foaling to present
Inspection notes and breeding files
Trainer history and competition record

03 · Buyer Aftercare

The one-year support stands

Every horse we have ever sold came with a year of aftercare — phone calls, video reviews, in-person check-ins. That commitment is honoured in full through 2026, and to whatever extent we are able beyond. The phone line is still open. Pick it up.

Unlimited phone and video support, twelve months
Two in-person check-in visits in year one
Network introductions to trainers we trust
Past buyers: the line remains open

04 · Pre-Purchase Coordination

Independent pre-purchase exam support

If you are buying a horse from us, we welcome your vet onto the property at any time. Imaging, bloods, the full ten-stage exam — your vet, your lens. We will be present if you would like us there, and absent if you would prefer. We have nothing to hide and nothing to rush.

Your vet, your protocol — no exceptions
Imaging suite on-site, radiographs included
Sale contract review at no charge
Second opinions encouraged, not resented

05 · The First Months

Settling-in support, on us

Friesians are individuals. The first three months in a new home tell you whether you have got the match right. We will be on the other end of the phone for every question — feeding, behavioural, training, vet, farrier. If something is not right, we will help you fix it. That has always been our standard. The closure doesn't change it.

Feeding programs tailored to your facility
Transition behaviour Q&A, weekly if needed
Trainer referrals in your region
Three-month check-in at no cost

— What we no longer offer

Honest about
what has ended.

We would rather tell you than have you find out by sending a message that goes unanswered.

New breeding bookings — the 2026 stud book closed in spring 2025
New training horses — we are no longer accepting outside young horses
New boarding contracts — all current boarders are being transitioned to other facilities
Imports for sale — we are not bringing new horses onto the property
Stallion approvals — our standing stallion, Hessel, was retired in 2024
