O/T Friesian Horses

Posted by Susan T on April 15, 2025, 1:26 pm

On April 5, I attended the open barn at Black Pearl Friesians.

The horses were gorgeous and extremely friendly. They all wanted to have their noses stroked and reacted when I said "Goedzo" followed by their name.

In addition to viewing the horses in their stalls, there was also a show in the indoor arena. Horses were presented in hand (like at an inspection), on the long reins (like at the Hengstenkeuring), under saddle, in front of the concours wagon, or at liberty.

After each act, there was a chance to take photos. And at the end of the day, the breeding stallions were taken outside for another photo sessions. We were there for about 5 hours.

As long as we were in the area, we figured we might as well drive north another 200 miles to see the NW Hemisphere Center: 45 × 90 Geographical Marker.

Well darn. You could have driven another 425 miles and visited me.

Not in that weather. With all the flood warnings, we had to travel east to Fort Wayne instead of going to Indianapolis, cross the Kentucky River at Cincinnati, rather than at Louisville. Then we headed to Knoxville rather than Chattanooga, and meandered through eastern Tennessee before finally getting on I-75 and making it through Atlanta before rush hour.
