Jinke was our very first Friesian. I
remember when I broke the news to my husband that I had decided to look for
a Friesian. Jack was very agreeable until I told him
about the price these horses go for.... But, thanks to my winning and
convincing nature, Jack agreed and fell in love with
the Friesian Breed as soon as he met his first Friesian in person.
(You can read more about that in the About
Us section.)
Jinke's mother made Preferent a few years
back and is now well on her way to get a double Preferent! Jinke is one of the most laid-back horses I
have ever had. She has the sweetest character, but does not lack in
personality at all. She would be the most perfect driving horse,
as she has an incredible trot! She can pretty much out-trot every other
horses when they are cantering. The only draw back
here is - I do not drive! So yes, she is broke to ride and yes, she does
have a canter, which is also surprisingly
comfortable. We sent her off for some driving training and she did very well
there. BUT - We don't own any driving gear.
Jinke has had 4 foals so far:
Andra B by Feitse
Komet JRB by a foalbook stallion now owned
