It's started!

  • Our dreams, our plans are getting up to the real world!!!! :D

    Our biggest passion (yes next to B's:)) are horses.
    I've lived since I was a little girl in the horse world for years.
    Had a shetland pony and took care of some horses at a stable.
    After my education for Paraveterinair and Feeding-instructor for dogs and cats, I always wanted to go into the horse buisness..
    But I met Kas, and we decided to start the transport company (his dream) for the first years and after some years stop sailing but keep the ship and start a horse buisness….

    We kept dreaming and talking about our passion and thinking about wich sort of horse company would fit us.
    Now since we're pregnant the planning begins!! (we don't want our kids at a boarding school when we're sailing during the week)

    I'm just so happy it's coming closer, I have to tell every one!!!

    We're planning to live at Germany (we're in love at a city) so we're now searching for every information about going from a Dutch man to a German :D

    But also we made a start for getting to a horse buisness, our greatest interest is having a combined buisness with a milking farm and a breeding stable.
    It's an upcoming buisness in Holland, it's like a breeding stable but take the milk thats not used for the foals.
    We love to work with horses and all on a natural way, we can't wait to go to some horse-milk farms in Holland to see everyting!!!
    All biological, with in the biggest priority: the health and the binding with the horses.

    We have some ideas for the breeds we want to have, I want a American saddlebred, thats a horse I can use for western.
    Kas wants a Shire, very big and easy going but with a lot of energy
    For the breeding we want a Percheron (thats like a shire, but smaller) and maybe a Quarter Horse so we can enlarge our western passion...

    I'm soooo happy.... The time can't go to fast for me.... :D


  • Sounds great!!! :D


  • I love Shires, if you ever get one please send pics!


  • If you're living in Holland, you need a Friesian!!! :D

    I have the most wonderful friesian, her temperment is amazing. She's not even 3 yet but she is just so sweet and gentle!!

    But, do keep us updated. I've had horses since i was 3 and they are a huge part of my life. I couldnt be without them even though im not as involved in the horse world as i once was!!

    P.S. I have some photos from a show over here in the UK with shires in their traditional plaits and tack if anyone is interested in seeing them. Its just amazing!!


  • That sounds exciting, hope it all goes to plan.

    Our neighbouring farmer used to breed shire horses, they don't breed now but still have loads of horses. They go to loads of shows, they were sponsored by a local brewery.

    The horses are fascinated by the basenjis, and always want to come and have a look! the b's aren't keen when they snort at them though.

    I have never heard of a horse milking farm before!!

    Hahaha.. that's not true of course.. If you're Dutch and live in Friesland.. you need a Friesian.. If you're only Dutch.. you need a KWPN'er ;) :D

    But Friesians are beautiful :)


  • Fresians are tops in my book.


  • cheers to that! :cool:

    Yes!! I love to see the pictures!!!

    I like the Friesian horses but it's not a breed wich can used for lots of things, they are to special i think :D
    I like the Friesian for shows and as a barouche horse (is it a good word?)

    I once ride a Friesian and it's different with riding a normal or western horse.
    They make larger steps and it's very comfortable riding!
    A friend of us breeds the Friesian :D

    Wow!!! If it was a little bit near Holland, I really would come over to met you and take a look at the shires next door :D:D

    We're don't going to live in Holland :D
    In Germany they have also some very nice breeds Hannoveraan, holsteiner (i don't know the english names…0

    I don't know of any Rita Jean. Mine was born Christmas Day which makes it easy to remember.

    Aha!…But I didn't say largest living animals…I was speaking of the Great Grandfathers of Northern California, the Giant Sequoia commonly known as Redwoods. :D

    @Basenjimamma: …Oh, I want one of those generators too..they are just so darn expensive..We need them down here too, if we have a storm, our neighborhood of 25 or so homes are one of the last on the list to get our power back..it sucks.. We do have a generator that is large enough to either run the fridge and a few lamps, OR our waterpump..so you have to pick your battles when the electricity goes.. Yeah, see my problem is I want the whole house automatically on when the power goes out - gone are the days when I find it an adventure! As it is, I've compromised and were only doing the first floor (including all kitchen, laundry, office, bedrooms, bath, basement - furnace, well/water) and the only thing on the 2nd floor will be the bathroom. During the ice storm last winter we lost power for 4 days. During the ice storm of 98 (?) we lost power for 17days - CNN was filming right in front of our house. :eek:

    @Natalplum: You both are in my thoughts. I hope your DH comes home safe and healthy. You will NEVER be lonely with your B's around. They are the best to call on for some love and comfort. Not to mention a lot of laughs! That's the best thing having a B brought into my life. I was so depressed, and then along came a B to make me laugh again. Worth their weight in gold, for sure….
