One pretty girl! Again, very BELATED post from BEFORE I got on her... this is Raven's first time with a saddle on. No buck. Hmmm... that means there's a buck still lurking somewhere inside that shiny black body, which I will get to experience soon!

The Friesian ride in Amsterdam!

12/30/2024

35 years ago my folks built - with their own hands, using every penny they could earn - an equestrian facility in Minnesota for my future horse career. I laid it all down to launch WIN (We Ignite Nations) rescuing kids and developing sustainable solutions to poverty in South Asia.
About seven years ago, just for fun, I started messing with breeding Friesian crosses and dreamed of owning a purebred Friesian. Then this spring my travels brought me to Amsterdam. I felt I needed to take time out and ride a Friesian... and made an ASTOUNDING REALIZATION - the province in Amsterdam where this breed originates - Friesland - was the very name of the crossroads where my folks had built the equestrian facility!
And then it so happened that in partial trade for O'Rio, the buyer conveyed to me a highly bred purebred FHANA Friesian filly. We call this "prophetic." God is in this!

Merry Christmas from Joelle (Barock Pinto), Winter Raven (FHANA Friesian) and Mom Kathy and me! May your season be filled with joy and your new year with the presence and peace of the One who is the Prince of Peace!
