How to Buy a Horse from Frysk Andaluz and Arrange Transport
Updated
Frysk Andaluz sells Friesian horses and Pura Raza Española (PRE)/Andalusian horses from its stables in the Hoeksche Waard, just below Rotterdam in the Netherlands, and ships worldwide. To buy, start from the "For sale" pages on frysk-andaluz.com, shortlist horses, then contact the team by phone (+31 6 2042 9346) to discuss availability, viewing, and transport. The site lists horses for sale and a transport section but does not publish prices or an online checkout, so expect to agree terms directly with the stable.
Step 1: Review the horses currently offered
The site separates its offering into two collections:
| Collection | What the site says |
|---|---|
| Friesians for sale | Bred and trained at the stable; described as top in trustworthiness and suitable as riding horses |
| PRE/Andalusian & other breeds for sale | High-quality Pura Raza Española horses, plus other breeds |
Both collections are reachable from the main "For sale" navigation and from the "See all horses for sale" link on the homepage. Individual horses get a profile page — for example Zilvester (Ster), Willemien, Zeb (Ster), and Yerre — with pedigree lines (sire x dam), studbook predicates, and a "Read more" link. Use these profiles to compare bloodlines, gaits, and temperament notes before enquiring.
Two further pages help you judge the stable's standard:
- Sold — past horses, useful for seeing the type and level the stable typically handles.
- Testimonials and Videos — buyer experiences and footage of horses in work.
Step 2: Contact the stable and arrange a viewing
The published contact channel is the phone number +31 6 2042 9346. When you call, have the names of your shortlisted horses ready (e.g., "Zilvester – Ster") so the team can confirm whether each is still available and share what the profile page does not: current price, veterinary records, and trial arrangements. The site does not state opening hours, so ask about viewing times and whether a visit to the Hoeksche Waard stables can be scheduled.
The site also has "About us," "Work method," and "Our team" pages. Reading the work method page before you call helps you ask specific questions about how horses are trained and prepared for sale.
Step 3: Agree the purchase
Because no prices, payment platforms, or deposit terms appear on the site, treat price and payment method as things to settle directly with the stable. Ask explicitly about:
- The asking price and what it includes (e.g., veterinary examination, paperwork).
- The horse's registration and studbook status — profiles show KFPS predicates such as Ster, Sport, and Preferent, and the site maintains a "KFPS breeding mares" section.
- Any pre-purchase examination you want carried out before committing.
Step 4: Arrange transport
The site has a dedicated Transport page in its navigation, and the homepage headline states the stable sells "around the world," so international delivery is part of the service. The site does not publish transport rates, routes, or carriers, so confirm on the same call:
- Whether the stable arranges transport itself or works with a shipper.
- The expected cost and timeline to your country.
- What export documentation the buyer must supply versus what the stable handles.
For a first purchase, the Sold and Testimonials pages are the best proxy for how previous deliveries went; the site presents them as references rather than as a formal guarantee.
Common sticking points
- Availability changes fast. Profiles stay online after a horse is sold, so always confirm status by phone rather than relying on the listing.
- No published pricing. Budget conversations happen directly with the team; there is no online quote form.
- Language and time zone. The site is in English (en-GB) and the stable is in the Netherlands, so plan calls around Central European Time.
- Breeding vs. riding stock. Some horses are presented as breeding mares or stallions (e.g., Willemien is listed in foal). If you want a riding horse, say so early so the team points you to the right animals.
