WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?
What is it about the Horse--their beauty...their energy...their power? Maybe you've been attracted to them since childhood when you experienced an instant, indescribable heart-and-soul connection--or maybe you live in the city with no opportunity to experience horses so are cautiously intrigued. Maybe you had a negative experience--a fall, or a nip--likely the result of misunderstanding or a lack of knowledge between horse and human. Hopefully you haven't only known horses based solely on their commercial value because there's so much more.
Why the Friesian breed? These Black Beauties are human-devoted, full of personality, and gentle giants. They meet you where you are, for who you are--a gentle companion mirroring your energy and feeling. Time with them is a lesson in mutual respect, acceptance and love. They'll laugh with you and embrace your tears, ultimately leaving you with an indelible Friesian Smile. Asking nothing in return, they merit our care for just being who they are. The horses drive the "why" of The Friesian Experience: to provide best care and lifelong sanctuary to Friesian horses in need...and give humans access to these amazing creatures through unique, meaningful experiences designed to share knowledge, create awareness, and offer solace, all with the hope of increasing compassion and positive change in the world.
But no one conveys what The Fresian Experience is all about better than Founder and Managing Director, Tracey Alexander. Enjoy this 2021 video produced by FEI for their Ride series….
