2004 Statesville NC Friesian Class

On April 30, 2004 Tanbark Acres sponsored a Friesian Under Saddle class at the Statesville NC Saddlehorse show. The main goals were to give the horses more experience, show Friesians to horse lovers who may not have seen this breed, and have fun! The class was a HUGE success - for hours before and after the class, spectators streamed by to learn more about the breed. And, we all had a great time!

Thanks to our participants - Tanbark Acres with Tyler and Cori, Shady Nook farm with Lies (model) and Octavia, and Bent Tree Farm with Walter.

Special thanks to our riders/trainers: on Tyler, Nancy Troutman, owner and trainer at Meadow Wood Stables. On Cori, Erin Bolster, instructor at Meadow Wood Stables.

People heard on the radio that Friesians were coming, so spectators came early to get a look
