Welcome to the Northwest Friesian Horse Club!

The Northwest Friesian Horse Club (NWFHC) is proudly recognized as a Regional Chapter affiliated with the Friesian Horse Association of North America (FHANA), which is the official North American representative of the Dutch Registry, the Friesch Paarden-Stamboek (FPS).

This club is for people who love the Friesian horse, want to learn more about the breed, have fun and meet fellow Friesian horse owners. Owning a horse is not a requirement.

The NWFHC final event of 2007 was held at Will & Teresa Bron’s in Granger, WA. Club members enjoyed riding and driving through the orchards and a fun filled Friesian Play Day! Events included a timed obstacle course, traditional bareback Friesian trotting race, champagne (with beer) race, driven obstacle course, and another Friesian tradition, Rinkje riding.

Several of our creative NWFHC Members offered a new competition dubbed, "Husband Keuring"! The three very amusing "Judges" provided a running commentary that kept all of us in hysterics as each runner presented their husbands complete with white Keuring bridles. Seems a few of us need to get some younger studs into our barns.
