The Friesian Connection purchased and imported Mintse 384 Sport in 2007. Licensed by the FPS as a breeding stallion, Mintse is fully approved on offspring and will never lose his breeding privileges. Mintse is a son of the preferent stallion Leffert 306 and the star mare Jieldou (Lammert) and was born in 1996.
Mintse has the Sport predicate behind his name. The sport predicate is earned when the horse has proven himself as a superior horse in competition. Not only must the horse achieve a high level in sport but he must also win at a high level consistently. Mintse has earned this predicate in dressage, competing and winning at Z2 dressage in the Netherlands. Mintse has also been the winner of the Silver Whip, a special award given for success in the dressage arena. In the Netherlands Mintse was very successful as a show driving horse, wowing both the judges and the audience with his amazing trot.
Mintse is the highest rated stallion in North America for improving the trot on his offspring. The FPS (Dutch registry) gives a score to evaluate the stallion's influence on many factors. A score of 100 is neutral...meaning the stallion did not influence the offspring in either a positive or negative way in a specific area. Mintse's score on the trot of his offspring is 106. (FPS breeding index 2007)
Mintse is the highest rated stallion in North America on "Sportability" of offspring. Mintse's offspring have been rated at their ability to do well in sport and there is not another Friesian stallion in North America who scores higher than Mintse at having offspring that have the potential to be top quality sport horses. (FPS breeding index)

In January of 1998 we imported the Friesian Stallion Ouke 313. A son of the famous stallion Hearke Preferent and Erna, a Star Preferent mare from the stallion Romke, Ouke brings a new dimension to our operation. His pedigree contains a very high percentage of Preferent blood. The Preferent status is given to a mare when she has produced four or more star offspring. It is given to a stallion after he produces a significant number of approved for breeding sons and star and model daughters. It is a symbol of reproducing top quality offspring.
Ouke has 21 Preferents listed in five generations of his pedigree. He has more Preferent blood in his pedigree than any other breeding stallion in North America and tied for the top of all breeding stallions in the FPS. He is the high preferent choice.
Ouke himself is a beautiful stallion with a proud look. He has a striking front with a beautiful neck. He has very powerful hindquarters and it shows in his movement. At the trot he extends with "hang time." He truly floats across the ground. He is a true black Friesian with a sweet disposition. He has a heavy amout of feathers and an average amount of mane and tail. He has a lot of presence and is the image of power.
