🏆 Massive milestone news from the Netherlands today! 🏆

We are bursting with pride and sending the biggest congratulations to Hengstenhouderij 'De Terpen' on an extraordinary day of results over in Holland! 🎉

Drys' magnificent dam, Mona Lisa v.d. Terpen, was officially awarded KFPS PREFERENT status today!

To be awarded Preferent status by the KFPS, a mare must produce 4 offspring that earn Ster status or higher. Mona Lisa accomplished this monumental feat on her very first four offspring—a true testament to the incredible quality, power, and consistency of her bloodline.

We are so deeply honored to own her son, Drys van de Terpen (Ster AAA), and to offer these elite, proven genetics here at Paradise Friesians. Seeing his dam achieve this level of recognition makes us prouder than ever to stand him.

If you are finalizing your stallion choices — just one more reason to choose Drys this breeding season! 🖤🐴

Please join us in congratulating his breeders on this remarkable achievement! 🌟👏

✨ Our hearts melted at 6:30PM last night... Meet Giselle! ✨

There is nothing quite like welcoming a new life to the stud, and on a calm, starry night, this beautiful girl made her grand entry yesterday evening!

Giselle of Paradise Friesians is by our Australian Permit Stallion, Drys van de Terpen (Ster AAA), out of our Ster mare, Elza van Gelder.

She has already stolen our hearts with her sweet, kind, and incredibly friendly nature. She has a wonderfully gentle soul and is so naturally curious about everything around her. 🖤

What a perfect note to end on — Giselle marks the official wrap on another safe and successful foaling season at Paradise Friesians. We are so proud of our mares and thrilled with the quality of this year's foals! 🥂🐴✨

🌅 A beautiful morning arrival! Welcome, Huxley! ✨

Yesterday at the very reasonable hour of 6:45 AM, we welcomed a huge, beautiful new c**t to the stud!

Introducing Huxley of Paradise Friesians.

About Huxley:
⭐️The Build: He is a big, incredibly leggy c**t. Taking after his tall dam, we are expecting him to mature into a very substantial boy! 🦒

⭐️Personality: He has the most gentle soul. He is already very, very friendly, inquisitive, and super chatty with us. 🥰

⭐️Health: He passed his new foal vet check and IgG testing with flying colors, ensuring he is off to a perfect, healthy start! 🩺✨

Exceptional Parentage:
💫His Dam - Inge fan Friesian Dreams - Ster: Inge is one of our tall mares, and she consistently produces sensational, hardy offspring. She is a Ster mare who was Champion at the 2023 FNQ Keuring and Reserve Champion at the 2019 SA Keuring (as a foal). Most importantly, she passes on her wonderful, kind, and easygoing temperament. Her foals are highly proven in the ring. The two that have attended keurings received exceptional results: one earned a 1st Premie, the Breeders Cup, and Best Australian Bred 1-2yo C**t, while the other earned a 2nd Premie and Reserve Champion at the 2023 FNQ Keuring (as a foal). 🏆

💫His Sire - Drys vd Terpen - Ster AAA: Our Australian Permit Stallion, Drys, is equally impressive as a producer, already boasting two 2nd premie offspring (also presented as foals). Drys consistently passes on his wonderful temperament, absolute willingness to work, sensational movement, and outstanding conformation.

🏡 Huxley will be available to an approved home. If you are looking to add an exceptional young c**t to your family, please contact us today for more information. Payment plans offered!

Safe travels to your new forever home, beautiful Ebony! 🖤🚐

Today is a bittersweet day at Paradise Friesians as we officially wave goodbye to our gorgeous filly, Ebony of Paradise Friesians.

As you can see in the video, she loaded onto the transport truck like an absolute dream. After all her preparation and her fantastic 57-second first practice load, she took this big next step completely in her stride.

I am definitely going to miss this very special girl and her wonderful, brave personality around the paddocks. But as sad as it is to see her go, I am equally thrilled for her new family. She is so incredibly trainable and willing, and I just know she has such a bright future ahead of her! ✨

Wishing you a safe and smooth journey, sweet Ebony. We can't wait to see all the incredible things you do in your new chapter! 🏡❤️
