What types of horses does Frysk Andaluz offer for sale?
Updated
Frysk Andaluz sells two main categories of horses: Friesian horses and Pura Raza Española (PRE)/Andalusian horses, along with "other breeds." The stud farm is based in the Hoeksche Waard countryside near Rotterdam in the Netherlands, and it presents its horses as top-quality animals suitable as riding horses. You can browse the full offering through the "See all horses for sale" link or the separate collection pages for Friesians and for PRE/Andalusian and other breeds.
The two core categories
Friesian horses
The Friesian is the farm's foundation breed. Frysk Andaluz describes its Friesians as combining a powerful character and temperament with beauty and elegance, and it states that its horses are "the top in trustworthiness" and "perfectly suitable as riding horse." The farm breeds and trains Friesians itself, and its site includes a dedicated section on KFPS breeding mares, referring to the Dutch Friesian Horse Studbook (KFPS).
PRE/Andalusian and other breeds
Alongside Friesians, the farm offers high-quality Pura Raza Española (PRE) horses for sale, and its for-sale section also covers Andalusian and other breeds. The site frames competition horses in this context as athletic, highly skilled animals that are selectively bred, trained, and carefully maintained to perform across equestrian disciplines at high levels.
How the for-sale pages are organised
| Section | What it covers |
|---|---|
| See all horses for sale | A single overview of the current offering |
| See our collection of Friesians for sale | Friesians only |
| PRE/Andalusian & other breeds for sale | PRE, Andalusian, and other breeds |
The navigation also includes entries for "For sale," "Sold," "News," "Testimonials," "Videos," and "Transport," so you can check what has already been sold and see supporting material such as videos and client testimonials before enquiring.
What the horse listings tell you
The "Some amazing horses in the spotlight" section shows how individual horses are presented, and the format is worth knowing before you browse. Each entry combines a name and studbook predicate with a pedigree line and a short description of the horse's qualities. Examples from the site:
- Zilvester – Ster: by Gosse 526 Sport AAA out of Hessel 480 Sport AA. Described as a talented Ster stallion, formerly selected for the pre-selection days, and as large, sturdy, sweet-natured, talented, and down-to-earth. He is a son of the farm's favourite mare, Zilverschoon van Zomerstaete.
- Willemien: by Herre 524 AAA out of Alwin 469 Sport+Pref AAA. A 3rd-premium studbook mare with top movements, in foal by Ulco 554 AAA. She received a 1st premium as a foal.
- Zeb – Ster: by Bartele 472 Sport AAA out of Beart 411 Sport+Preferent. A luxury Ster stallion with a great personality and three excellent gaits, with notably strong hind-leg action.
- Yerre: by Markus 491 AAA out of Jasper 366 Sport+Elite+Pref. Presented as a handsome horse with a cute head, large expressive eyes, abundant feathering, and a broad neck.
From these entries you can see the kind of information the farm supplies: sire and dam with their sport and predicate designations, studbook predicates such as Ster and 3rd premium, movement quality, temperament, and in some cases pregnancy status. That gives you a basis for comparing horses on pedigree, conformation description, and gaits rather than on photos alone.
Practical points before you enquire
- Check the Sold page as well as For sale. The site separates current offerings from horses already sold, so the "See all horses for sale" overview is the reliable starting point for what is actually available.
- Use the videos and testimonials. Both are linked in the main navigation and can help you judge movement and temperament, which the text descriptions emphasise.
- Ask about transport. Transport is a listed site section, which is relevant if you are buying from outside the Netherlands; confirm the arrangements directly with the farm.
- Contact details are published on the site, including the phone number +31 6 2042 9346, for questions about specific horses.
The site describes its horses as "premium" quality but does not publish prices or purchase terms, so pricing, viewing arrangements, and any veterinary or export requirements need to be confirmed with Frysk Andaluz directly.
