About

Droomwals, literally translated as "Dream Waltz", was Tracey's horse of a lifetime. And what a dream he was--simply an amazing animal.

You would not find a horse anywhere with his same appetite for work. His amazing work lust could always be relied on, and there was never a doubt he would give every task 100%.

Sired by Nanno and born in 2001, we brought Droomie over from Holland at the same time as Hoitze and Hidde. He always had a feisty but professional attitude toward work, and adored being the centre of attention. Once he knew what was expected, he took everything in his stride which enabled us to keep him in tact until he turned 17.

Droomie worked on the off-side of the carriage when we drove in pairs. When we drove the unicorn (three horses), he was lead horse. Because of his very forward-going attitude, Droomie was not a novice ride. However, he delighted many of our visitors over the years by allowing them to ride him in the arena as well as take him out driving where he had the ability to make everyone look good.

At the 2008 UK Friesian Inspections, Droomie was described by the FPS jury as "a beautiful stallion,

very nicely built, with beautiful musculation and excellent feathering". Over the course of his life, Droomie drove over 250 brides to their wedding. In 2015, he starred in the Magna Carta son et lumiere film and celebrations in Cartmel Village. When he was not busy with his driving work in the early years, Droomie did occasionally compete at local unaffiliated dressage competitions, but he found this quite stressful.

In between his commercial work, we tried to keep life quite light-hearted for Droomie. He liked nothing more than hacking out or spending a day in the paddock.

Droomie really did lead an incredible life and achieved a great deal over the years as can be seen in his photo gallery.

Tracey said goodbye to her horse of a lifetime on the 15th of May 2020. It was a peaceful and quick passing. He is now laid to rest in our Friesian Memorial Orchard which is located in one of the lower fields, easily visible from the Farmhouse. Droomie has a large copper beach tree planted above him in the centre of the field. It will stand and grow as impressive and proud as he was throughout his life.

His legacy will live on forever at the farm as he was the inspiration for so much of what we have done as well as our "Dream Plan" for the future.
