Isabeau

foaled May 24th 1992

FPZV reg#040395592

sire Greis Tjeerd #04000884

dam Alida (S)040002081

.There is no way I can tell you about Isabeau in mere words. You must meet her. Isabeau is our cornerstone, She was the first step in making Immortal Farms come to life.To say she is a horse seems a slur against her, because she is so much more than that. She is my best friend, my confidant, and my cure for feeling blue. I would feel lost without her. Everyone that meets her falls in love. Isabeau has blessed us with six foals. Four Friesians and two Warlanders, and she is expecting her third Warlander in spring of 2009. All of them have her wonderful forward movement and exceptional temperament. Her two Warlander filly's have never been beaten at halter, and both of them have won the Best Movement award every time they were shown.

Lilith IF

foaled April 19th 2003

FPZV reg # 112025903

sire: Laes reg #040006486

dam: Isabeau reg#040395592

After losing Xenia it was so hard to even think about another Friesian mare, we could not bring ourselves to even look.

It became obvious after a time that we needed another Friesian mare to fill out the program, so we started searching. Then one day our trainer; Kimberly, came to us and asked if we would like to have Lilith back on the farm.

Lilith is an Isabeau filly by Laes; Xenia's sire. Since she has been Kimberly's mare from birth we never dreamed of her becoming a member of the breeding program. However there could not be a better choice. Her linage is just what we have looked for. Isabeau is related to Xenia's dam on the maternal side, and with Laes as a sire it means that Lilith is genetically a half sister and 'cousin' to our Xenia.

Lilith is shown in the above photo with Caliope her 2009 filly by Daniel.

Caliope is listed on our sales page

Athena Nike

foaled June 13th 2007

sire: Knight Commander's Quest

dam: Isabeau

Meet Athena Nike; known around the farm as Thumper, She is another Isabeau daughter, and she is wonderful. She is sweet, loves people, and just wants to spend time with you. She is so very much like her mother, we knew from the start she was staying with us. Her sire Knight Commander; aka Manny belonged to our very good friends, and sadly passed away after Thumper was born. Because of this she is even dearer in all of our hearts. Manny was an incredible stallion, both in looks and temperament. Athena has so much of her sires looks including daddy’s wonderful thick wavy hair, her mane is every bit Manny, she is already a 'hairball' at a year and a half old.

Xenia

Xenia

Foaled May 11th 1999

FPZV reg# 045473699

sire Laes reg#040006486

Dam Warna (Model) 040006391

We found Xenia, in Princeton BC. We had gone to the Friesian Ranch to see their amazing stallion Laes. We were at the fence watching the yearlings eat breakfast. Xenia stopped eating and looked at us, very plainly asking "what are you here for?" Although we had planed to wait until the following year to purchase another Friesian mare, neither of us could get Xenia out of our minds. We spent the whole trip back from Princeton telling each other how we were not ready to get another mare....but with that look she gave us we had fallen in love.....we bought her two days later. Xenia was chosen not only for her beauty, but also because she carried the blood of some of the greatest Friesian stallions in her background. We planned to breed her to Von Faust an exceptional stallion owned by Cheryl Skigin of Fox & Furkin farms. In order to establish her breeding viability we first bred her live cover to Notorio DW. Five months into the pregnancy she twisted an intestine and was rushed to surgery Xenia made it through surgery, and when she was allowed to come home everyone waited breathless while Dr. Bolton did an ultrasound. There were no dry eyes when he announced that the foal was still alive!! The following spring Xenia gave birth to an adorable colt we named I.F. Xenophon. One week before breeding her AI to Von Faust, we lost our Xenia when she twisted yet again this time her large intestine, and we were unable to save her with surgery. We were devastated, and poor little Xenophon was orphaned. Now our little bucket fed baby has grown into an incredible stallion, he is the gift our Xenia left us. Through him she will always remain an Immortal horse.
