Friesian Ownership Experiences
 
The Friesian Ownership Experience is run by Tracey Alexander and aimed at anyone considering bringing a Friesian into their lives.
 
This is an individually tailored 'Full Day' experience where you will have exclusive access to the yard and ALL the horses for the day and Tracey's undivided attention!
 
The day will include:
 
History of the Friesian Horse
The KFPS Studbook and their management / protection of the breed
An introduction to the Friesians at the farm and discussion about the different 'types' and varying characteristics
Identification and management of health issues identified within the breed
Day to day care of the Friesian horse
Purchasing advice and the paperwork associated with ownership
Preparation of horses for KFPS Studbook gradings
 
If you are an experienced, physically fit or regular rider the day can include ridden sessions in the arena with the opportunity to ride a variety of Friesians.
 
You may also choose to head out on the bridleways and lanes where you can discuss with Tracey more about the techniques she has found useful when working the horses in different environments.
 
For the less experienced rider Tracey is happy to tailor some riding to suit the level you are at so you can get a feel of what a Friesian is like to ride and begin to understand how different they are to many other breeds of horse.
 
Carriage driving is also an option during the Ownership Experiences which run from March through to the end of October.
 
WEIGHT LIMIT: We have a strict weight limit of 13 stone
