We just received new photos of our amazing stallion, Francis Drake, and we couldn’t be prouder! Last year, he joined us as a “gentle giant,” even though he was already over 3 years old. Some boys just take a bit longer to grow up… and apparently, the same goes for some stallions.

Francis Drake was bred by Caroline Van Zele, a breeder who has produced numerous successful horses. We found him with Femke de Laat, where he had just started his initial training. She immediately saw his immense potential and laid a fantastic foundation for his future development. Thanks to Daniel Mosterdijk, who helped us make this match, Francis Drake became part of our team – and we are grateful every single day.

At the end of last year, we carefully began his first competitions, and his progress has been remarkable! Everyone who knows our “Fransje” sees a completely transformed horse: from an inexperienced youngster to a powerful stallion with a promising future.

What makes Francis Drake so special?

✔️ Super sweet personality
✔️ Always willing to work and well-behaved
✔️ A partner you can count on
✔️ Stunning movements
✔️ Tremendous talent for high-level dressage

With his enormous potential and drive, we are convinced that Francis Drake will showcase his talent at beautiful competitions in 2025. ✨ Together with Fransje, we’re working hard to create something extraordinary.

The beautiful photos we’re sharing today were taken by DigiShots.

We can’t wait to hear your thoughts about Fransje and always enjoy reading your comments!
