Our wonderful Oege daughter, Jildou gave birth on March 23, 2009, to a filly by the World Grand Reserve Stallion at the January 2009, in Holland, Doaitsen 420 . Her name is a West Friesian name, Fentje BRF, stamped with our stable letters. Pronounced "FENT-CHI-AH" and when pronounced correctly, is a very pretty name and is not only Friesian but sounds very nice in the English language, as well. Here are some pictures taken within the first few hours.
Fentje, is already a very interactive filly, that first when I arrived at the stable, first time I saw her, whinnied as her mother, Jildou greeted us when we arrived and even later whinnied totally on her own. When I tickled her nose she turned up her little upper lip, lipping at me, which is exactly what her half sister, Brecht does and her mother.
Fentje's coat is almost like a persian lamb coat, and is also exactly like, Brecht's at first. She has abundant hair already with curly forelock, and mane, with a very wavey full tail. She is sure to end up being like her mother & sister with the smooth as silk, jet black coat.
We spend loads of time with our foals, and watching them develop, so there will lots of updates.
