In an effort to make room for our 2008 horses, Friesians of Majesty is hosting a 2 day open-house, herd reduction event. Our majestic Friesians will be shown at liberty, driving and under saddle. These horses range in age and ability from yearling to green-broke to training for dressage level 2. Our horses are versatile; some trained in both driving and riding. All horses have excellent ground manners, even the young stallions. This is an opportunity to get up-close and personal with the Friesian of your dreams be it a top quality broodmare, gelding, stallion or yearling. All reasonable offers will be open to discussion. (This is not an auction) Individual pricing and pedigree information will be posted with each horse on the horses stall front.

Centered Riding Clinic with Deborah Moynihan
When: May 31st and June 1st
Where: Friesians of Majesty, Townshend, VT
This Clinic will be based on the Four Basics of Centered Riding (Soft Eyes, Breathing, Balance or Body Blocks, and Centering). Centered Riding will help promote suppleness, stability in the rider as well as allow the rider to clearly give the horse aids. This will improve both the horse and rider’s ability, and increase comfort for both during periods of exercise. Centered Riding permits both horse and rider to become more harmonious with the other. It can also help one to cope with injuries received during riding or otherwise.
