Welcome to the site featuring Bobbi Jo's' Friesian
Stallion
"Auke"
We met Auke's
owners, Bobbi Jo & Phil of Carlisle, PA, at a horse show. Auke, an Anton son,
is an absolutely stunning Friesian stallion, so I enjoy posting his
pictures here your enjoyment. These were taken at the World Friesan
Horse Extravaganza & Competition held in Springfield, Ohio, at the
Champions Center October 24-27, 2007. They won the Period Costume
Class, which was the first time Bobbi Jo rode Auke in a horse show
class! Are they not fabulous?
These were taken at the Northeast
Friesian Horse Club "East Coast Championships" held in Port Jervis, NY,
October 27-29, 2006, where Auke won his in-hand and carriage classes
with ease.
This is a magnificent Anton son with lots
of hair, too. Auke's mane hanges below his knees--nearly to his ankles,
his forelock hangs at least 8 inches beyond the end of his nose, and
his tail drags on the ground! Won't he be fabulous in costume classes???
