KFPS Friesian Stallion Brend 413 – Dressage 2008
Today the news broke that Brend 413 (Brandus x Doeke x Tjimme) is coming to Iron Spring Farm in America. These are nice bloodlines to have here and Brend, who is really excelling at dressage is going to a nice home. Iron Spring competes their Friesian stallions heavily and successfully in dressage. This is good for the breed. This video is from the stallion show in Leeuwarden in 2008. I am so glad I happened to have it on tape. I believe here Brend is at level ZZ licht. I admit, I am too ignorant in dressage to know what that translates to in the American system, but I think it is pretty good!
Geweldige hengst&Geweldige amazone =)
well i do know that Licht i dutch means lift in english, but he is probably PSG or GP but either way he is amazing and thank you for posting this!
He is not PSG or GP, he can’t even do a flying change. He probably has such a nice canter for a Friesian because it hasn’t been messed up by over collecting yet.
I got mixed up because he has on a double bridle which i found out is optional 3rd and 4th (not allowed before 3rd) and mandatory in PSG and GP so either they arnt following rules, he really is a higher level and just being ridden at this level or my information ins incorrect! and There are flying changes at 3:55 at 4:17 and …5:13…so it seems like he can do them after all! My point is that he as a horse looks high level, that could only be apperance and potental but hes beautiful regardless
Wow, his canter is so light and free, especially for a friesian. Skaterhorse is being dense, because I saw at least 2 flying changes.
This is interdiaire level there is piaffe or passage involved. You ride in a Double bridle from Elemtary Level and you can also ride a Snaffle Bridle upto GrandPrix now!
lol is that an instrumental of Dido’s Here with me?? 2:45
This horse is gorgeous!!
Ehhh,he doesn’t do it for me. Seems kinda lazy in the hind end.And don’t tell me that i know nothing about friesians because i train them.
& His canter is choppy to me.
horsebelover: licht does NOT mean lift
It means light… Zwaar means heavy
ZZ licht is therefore ZZ light
This Horse Is Beautifull !
Especially When The Rider Really Let Him Go Forward Into Canter On The First Diagonal Of Canter. I Was In ORe!!
:O:O
Amazingg !!!!

Well
I have an off spring by him, Tyrannimus von Therkelsen, and he is turning out very well, he is a 3 year old gelding and he is really well behaved, and he has shown som really interesting talent for dressage.
best regards

hmm i see where you say he is lazy behind, perhaps that is why he lead changes are so sloppy? but i dont think his canter is choppy, definitely not the best moving friesian i have seen but not choppy.
beautiful breed.
