Friesian Stallion
It was dark inside the Coliseum as the anxious crowd waited with anticipation for him to enter the ring. Suddenly the spotlight shone on the end gate and the entire crowd drew their breath as the mighty stallion made his entrance. Seemingly light as a feather, he appeared to float effortlessly across the arena - a true vision of beauty and power!
This was the scenario one night in April of 1998 in the Coliseum at the Oklahoma City Fairgrounds as the great stallion "Jorrit" (owned by Proud Meadows Farm in Cedar Hill, TX) entered the arena. Highly trained in dressage and driving, Jorrit and his human partner provided an awesome demonstration of dressage and driven dressages.
This sculpture portrays that magical moment when Jorrit first entered the arena - one ear flicked back - attentive to his rider as she guided him flawlessly with invisible cues. It's a memory that still gives me goosebumps!
From the tips of his fine pricked ears, flowing down across his body to the tip of his lavish, full tail, this traditional-sized Friesian is well suited to be shown under saddle or in harness.
