For Sale - Friesian Stallion
A stunning Friesian stallion with a powerful presence
- Ride, drive, and breed
- Exceptional manners and a mind as kind as he is capable.
Tjerk fan Bonnie View is a 2014 Friesian stallion standing approximately 15.2–15.3 hands, built with a strong, substantial frame and a presence that immediately draws you in. He is powerful and eye-catching without being overwhelming — the kind of horse that commands attention while still making you want to walk right up and put your arms around him.
Tjerk combines strength, balance, and athletic ability with a mind that is kind, thoughtful, and deeply people-oriented. He is not sharp or reactive; instead, he is steady, aware, and genuinely tries to do right by his rider and handler.
Tjerk is a true gentleman stallion in every sense of the word. He has a soft eye, a quiet confidence, and a genuine desire to connect with the people around him. Despite being a stallion, he is exceptionally respectful, uncomplicated to handle, and refreshingly free of typical stud behavior.
He is calm and sensible in new situations, comfortable in routine barn life, and easy to be around day in and day out. Tjerk is the kind of horse that meets you where you are - attentive, willing, and trying - whether you are riding, handling, or simply spending time with him.
While Tjerk possesses a temperament many would describe as beginner-friendly, he is not being marketed as a beginner horse due to his size, strength, and stallion status. He will thrive best in a knowledgeable, thoughtful home that understands and appreciates what a stallion like him has to offer.
In the right hands, Tjerk is incredibly forgiving and consistent - the same horse every ride, even with time off - offering a rare combination of power, kindness, and reliability that makes him truly special.
