What do you do with your Friesian?

[foxhuntingfriesian]

Friesians can be such versatile horses, I was just wondering how many activities you guys participate in with yours.

Daatje competes at 1st level dressage, jumps 3', foxhunts (2011 is her 4th season), does hunter paces, trail rides (over 100 miles logged so far for 2011).....

What does your Friesian do with you?

I love that your mare fox hunts!! You don't see / hear that often!! Do you have any photos??

I do have a ton of photos from the past three hunt seasons. I've posted a couple in your photos section, but let's see if a link to my photo books from the past two years works.....let me know if you have trouble with the links:

Here's the link from 2010

And the one from 2009

Daatje's been great. She's not the fastest horse in the field, but she's steady, quiet, kind and a real joy to ride.

We have GPS with us while we're out and one run was clocked at 34 MPH! Daatje maintained that for a short time and then had to drop back....that's a bit fast for her big body, but man was it fun. Makes your eyes water!

Anyway, let me know if you can access the photobooks. You can also click on her blog in my siggy and find the links to 2008, 2009 and 2010 web pages. There are photos there as well.
