The Mares

Trude Fan Fjildsicht

Trude is our beautiful retired Ster mare. She produced  the most stunning foals. She had her first ster filly, who was reserve champion three year old at the central mare show in holland in 2015, gaining first premie ster PROVISIONAL KROON at only 3 years old!  

Trude has helped us with our Barock Pinto breeding programme and had a stunning BP colt in May 2020.  That colt Koris fan Fraithwen was graded at the Barock Pinto stallions gradings in Assen in March 2023 and becaime the first ever, and currently the only approved breeding stallion that was bred in the UK. He has now gone to a driving career with  his new owner who has followed him since birth. 

Trude is from Stam 50, one of the best. She has a full damline, Ster, MODEL PREF, STER PREF, STER PREF!! Her sire is Beart 411 Sport Pref, and her damsire is Wicher 334.

Trude is tested negative for Hydrocephalis, Dwarfism and the red gene.

Jade fan de Groenesteegh

special-at-english-inspection-jade-stendert-447-with-five-offspring

Jade is our very special FIRST PREMIE STER PREF *5 mare.

She was born 2011 and had first foal Annalise in 2016 with us. Our aim, as with Trude, is to breed the best foals we possibly can to get our mares to preferent status. Jade is by Stendert 447 SPORT. The lineage on Stendert's dam's side is extremely strong and he has arguably one of the best pedigrees of the studbook. Stendert shows scope, regularity and elasticity in all three paces, with the hind leg placed nicely underneath his body. He presents a super outline in walk, trot as well as canter and uses his back in an exemplary fashion.

She is negative for hydrocephalis and dwarfism.

Jades dams sire is Sjaard 320.

Jade has a lovely linear score with 102 and 104 for walk, 104 and 104 for trot, 105 for balance and 104 for elasticity. 

Jade is an excellent mother. `Her first filly Annalise fan Fraithwen is by 2016 WORLD CHAMPION stallion TSJALLE 454 SPORT ELITE PREFERENT

Jade foaled a stunning colt Eelke, also by Tsjalle on 2ND January 2017. He lives here with us and is Gaynors main riding horse, hes very special and an utter dream to look at.

Both Annalise and Eelke  achieved Ster status at their adult gradings. 

Jades third foal was the 2019 UK SUPREME CHAMPION FRIESIAN, filly Jeldau fan Fraithwen, (Jehannes 484 Sport elite)  born in 2019 and champion that same year.

At the 2021 keurings were proud to show all 5 of Jades offspring (to that date) at the same Keuring (grading). 

Annalise gained her Ster predicate

Eelke Due to injury on the day no Ster (achieved ster at his second grading uninjured)

Jeldau gained 2nd premie 2 yr old and won her class

Mirjam gained 1st premie 1 year old won her class and won best young stock and becoming UK Reserve Champion 

Rianne gained 2nd premie foal 

At the age of 3 Jeldau achieved FIRST PREMIE STER at her first adult grading in 2022 and was UK reserve supreme champion.

in 2023 Jeldau went to the keuring again and achieved Kroon status and was again UK champion friesian.

She also achieved her AA grade ridden IBOP in 2023 with 77.5 points so was instantly permanent Kroon AA

Jeldaus IBOP was ridden again in Sept 2025 by Gracie Catling who together achieved a massive 80 points.  

At the 2023 keuring Jeldaus three year old sister Mirjam went to her first adult grading and also became Kroon, and was third overall in the inspections. In 2024 Mirjam gained 77.5 points in her driven IBOP so becaem Kroon AA.

Senna fan Scyedam

Senna is a new mare we imported from Netherlands in August 2025. She is a huge mare  (Boet 516/Doaitsen 420) and is ster AA currently. She is ride and drive and is in foal to the twice KFPS champion stallion Jeppe 537. Senna is an absolute poppet and loves human interaction just like our other horses. Ian hacks her with Gaynor riding Eelke and shes given him his confidence back after a serious injury (not horse related!) Ian also drives her and she is equally willing and happy in both jobs. 

Pip van de Keizershoeve

Pip is our Jurre 495/Tsjalle 454  STER mare who we imported in October 2024. Shes a very sweet ride and drive mare who is in foal for 2026. She has a beautiful filly foal by Kanne 534 in 2025.
