Update: Geertje rode her IBOP tests on 23rd December '21. She received 77 points in her riding test, and 77 points in her driving test, which makes her CROWN. Congratulations to Stal G for this result! Happy holidays!

Watching Geertje and the others reminds me of every athlete in the world who worked it, worked it in training to become the stars they are. Loved watching and remembering. Thank you.

[@CityThatCannotBeCaptured]

I cannot help but cry when I watch Geetje; she is SO beautiful.

[@lisajoyaslanis]

Both she and Geertje ARE, great beauties....in different ways. Gea is compact, Geertje more " streamlined", if one may call her that....beautiful young mares, most deserving of the tributes bestowed upon them! Lisa

[@s.g.8010]

Hope you don't mind me noticing (my observation and opinion) that the gentleman with the slight bread and mustache) handling our horses, Geertje and Gea, seems to be "joined with our horses and the task as a team" and not just one only interest in the exercise alone. The horses respond with a natural partnership with the horse handler (don't know yet what to call him/them) and I could feel the caring intention of the handler and our horses responded to him as if they were old friends.... very comfortably thus, exactly.

Just watched this event again, and I realized that I was enthusiastic enough about Geertje getting the first premium. And later becoming a provisional crown mare! What a triumph that was! And by now Yvonne has already made sure that she got her points, thus making her a CROWN MARE for real. Again, my warmest congratulations on this achievement!

[@riverbank4126]

You should all be tremendously proud of the results achieved by these lovely young mares. The Friesen breeders have done a splendid job of preserving the strong, healthy and stable horses that they present to the judging committees. Despite the relatively limited number of Friesens bred world-wide and their fairly small genetic pool compared to some of the other breeds, the Friesen owners have made many good choices in their breeding practices. I am impressed by the quality of the horses shown, both in their conformation and health, but also in their ability to work hard along side their handlers without becoming 'silly' or 'hard to manage'. In the past 60+ years, Friesen breeders have been able to preserve their multi-purpose horse breed. Friesens can still put in a day's work on a family farm, pull a wagon, and yet be kind enough for their family's children to ride on the week-end. The horses are both 'trainable' and healthy. There are many breeds today that produce beautiful 'show horses' but many of these horses need experts to train them and use them. Friesens have maintained their usefulness and continue to develop as a breed that avoids extremes of temperament and type. Well done!

[@user-zp5ii4fp3p]

She is definitely a beautiful horse has great form and is stature just amazingly representative of the Friesian horse.

@@equusheart3344 I used to work for an Arabian breeder and they've changed a lot, too. Their heads are more exaggerated now. They look like the stallion we had who had his face deformed while in the womb from having one of his forelegs across his nose during development giving him an extreme dish-shaped head. I wish all breeds had these inspections and a well controlled studbook.

[@laurelb4173]

And me as well. I loved the Morgan breed for what it was decades ago. Heavy, short stocky legs, short coupled, large crest. Now they look like Saddlebreds. If I'd wanted the Saddlebred for my favorite breed, I'd have chosen it. For me they are ruined.

So proud of Geertje and Gea! Have been a long time fan of Gea's ever since I saw "Gea In The Clouds" and saw her magnificent crest. To think the judge didn't like that. "Slightly heavy neck" indeed! I guess since my breed has always been Morgans, I love the heavy neck and thick crest. I'm still excited with her Ster 2nd premium, but I wanted so much for the judge to see what I saw in her. Guess it's not as much of a desired trait in Friesians.

Awesome! I am very proud - along with you. Well done ladies. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m not a rider these days, not for a long time I’m afraid. Watching these beautiful horses also reminds me of my dear old mum. When she was alive and I was younger, Mum used to love watching the dressage and horse jumping on our old B/W tele (when it was on of course). This she would have to do on her own because only her appreciated it. She came from humble beginnings and maybe never ever saw a horse in real life - but so loved watching the gee-gees as she say. I have learnt to love watching the horses just as mum did, in my later life. So thank you very much for allowing me into your stable life stories. Regards, Dave x

[@madelinegutierrez1720]

Hi! I'm a "horse person" in America that understands the criteria some breeds like the Morgan are judged by here. And I understand how certain breeds have not just conformation but performance criteria as well. However, I know relatively nothing about Fresian s other than from your channel. And Fresian s as a breed are so elegant, beautiful and have such an inherent natural dignity and elegance that they - to my mind - have something in common with Arabians. What's that? Even a "fair" example of the breed will look and move amazingly to the "untrained" eye. Could you make a series of videos covering the individual aspects of confirmation, style and movement so I can understand for example the difference between a 6.5 walk and an 8? Go over and compare confirmation details? And help someone like me understand the "grading"* of mares and stallions? (I assume geldings are graded as well even if gelded young. But then, do you geld a decent horse young? Keeping stallions isn't super popular in the states..) I'd love to be truly educated through video rather than a book. A "moving animal" is so much different than a photo or drawing. 🤞 *you get into "premiums" and I'm lost...

Geertje is gorgeous at the trot! She has that quality of being on springs and really extends beautifully. Gea’s conformation is stunning. She didn’t get into her showiest trot till the end; that was the handler’s fault I think.

[@lisajoyaslanis]

Those poor handlers...a dangerous job! 😁👌

[@biddydibdab9180]

@@lisajoyaslanis Yes!

[@bluetickbeagles116]

The pride, passion, experience and love you give to these horses is beyond belief. You’re a model for any animal caregiver anywhere of any species.

[@Lonesome__Dove]

She's so beautiful. Lithe and muscular at the same time. Impressive horse.

[@ktgodwin100]

It's great that you changed trainers. This trainer knows what he's doing to show them to their best. I am so happy for you!!!

This was truly...SUCH a day....Rein' s Beauties are WINNERS! Congratulations, Goengamieden....the hours of work, all the worries, have paid off!!! Lisa

[@dalenielsen8805]

Geertje was just beautiful with her tail flagged while trotting. I like Gea’s neck and how she holds it, I think she is just a gorgeous mare. Congratulations on how well they did❣️❣️❣️

[@franceshale584]

What a rush for you Yvonne and for Stal G!! Terribly proud to know you and your beautiful horses. You take such wonderful and sensitive care of these ladies and it shows. After such a fulfilling day it must be difficult “to come down off the mountain.” CONGRATULATIONS!! Geertje and Gea you have done Rein a very proud “papa” !

[@Historian212]

Congratulations, with Geertje, Gea, and Ginny have so much success at the inspections, Stal G is really showing well! So happy for everyone. All the hard work is clearly paying off. Very exciting, for sure. I hope Yvonne is resting as the cool weather sets in. All the best to the whole Stal G crew!

Congratulations to these two excellent mares 🥳🥇⭐🥲

[@FatgirlMickey]

I don't know how they judge these horses but to me they are all beautiful.

[@hfloor]

Yvonne and the jurors told in the vid what they are lookling for. In short: breed confirmation: is the horse build like a real friesian? They consider: hight, head, neck, feet, legs, croup etc. And then they look at how they move in the walk and trot.

[@Lillireify]

@@hfloor for me knowing how they judge changes nothing, they're all beautiful to my eyes :D

[@hfloor]

@@Lillireify For me as well, couln't judge them, they would all be stars 😁!

[@patbroekema6721]

Congratulations!!! Geertje really is a super horse!!! She’s fantastic. Little Gea is adorable and beautiful.. she scored really well too. She will make a lovely ladies horse in between producing Star babies!!

[@jacquesenecal7923]

OMGOODNESS, what a great video, I just blurted out tears when I saw Gea, she is still my favorite, but Geertje is definitely a beauty. Thank you, Yvonne for taking us along💙🤍❤️🤩🥰☺️😎❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@joycebauer8838]

I have to agree with you between the tears of joy and if I had a shirt with buttons I would have popped them all!!. Great work Stal G and Yvonne.

[@akkedegroot4883]

Gefeliciteerd! Wat mooi, prachtige jonge merries. Kan me voorstellen dat je er emotioneel van bent. Zo veel tijd en werk gedaan met de jonge paarden en dan een schitterende beloning. Echt de Kroon!

[@lisawines9932]

I feel like a proud parent to both of these gals. Thanks for sharing their lives with us. I look forward to these videos. It takes the world and all chaos away for a while. I call these videos my horse soap opera.

[@caralynhale3757]

Oww, I was tearful halfway through because they looked so proud and beautiful - then the results !! Well done to everyone who has raised and cared for these beautiful animals, and the handlers who had to race alongside !! So delighted for you - hardworking and down to earth !

[@MoogieB]

It was so much fun to see you, Yvonne, so happy & excited! You & all the staff work so hard to raise great Friesians & your work is excellent. The horses look absolutely gorgeous at inspection. Bet they can’t wait to roll in the dirt when they get home!

Cannot wait to see Gea, presented again, at next Inspection... after improving her walk! Beautiful Friesian, Both Geertje and Gea.. Goedzo Stal Goengamieden! Congratulatios Rein and crew. 🚜 👍🐎🐎👍🌷

[@JB-nk4qh]

I'm watching again the inspection videos -- when I first found your channel, I knew almost nothing about Friesiens but loved their style, power and grace. Now it's fun to see all those qualities again and recognise more detail than the first time. Thank you so much for this channel! 💓

[@loislouise3743]

Wow, I love seeing Geertje in her paces - look how small the movement in her back is as she trots. She must be a joy to ride.

[@johnrevere9567]

Gea, has always been my favorite in all your videos... since watching her grow up from a baby... nothing that beautiful can not be noticed.. always loved her noble head, rounded neck, thick long luscious mean, (I noticed you cut it though for her show!) lots of mean and her outstanding gallient structure... I just knew she'd be a STAR!!! It's all a reflection of the beeeder... ⭐❤⭐❤⭐❤⭐ I'm saving this video...
