Andrew & Marchje travel to America!

As you all know, Marchje & her owner have moved to America this August. After 18 days of quarantine, Andrew traveled over to join them for 21 days of intensive training and fittening work in heats exceeding 40C for the INTERNATIONAL FRIESIAN SHOW HORSE ASSOCIATION WORLD FRIESIAN SHOW 2012, in California, USA.
The show was held over 5 days, competing against some of the best Friesians on that side of the world.
We are extremely proud to say Marchje and Andrew have won the following awards:
WORLD CHAMPION IN HAND MARE
RESERVE WORLD CHAMPION DRESSAGE
& 3 TOP 5 DRESSAGE AWARDS.

Although we are sad to see Marchje go, we are very proud of all her acheivements since coming to FTS.
Marchje came to us in late 2010 as a broodmare and has gone away a horse that has achieved the following:

We wish her the best of luck for the future!
