Blackshire Equestrian Centre
Specializing in All Breed Dressage along with National Calibre Appaloosa Show Horses
This page is devoted to one of the loves of my life (next to my husband, of course) - our Friesian Stallion: Vanyel. The elegance and presence and "Kingly" mannerisms that he possesses rolled up along with a great deal of charm and a fabulous sense of humor make this one of the greatest horses I have ever had the pleasure of working with. This great majestic creature trotted up to me one morning with the disassembled arm of a white lawn chair looking like Dino from the Flintstones and oh so proud of himself. He never fails to amaze me and to this day seeing him in action gives me goosebumps - these characteristics that endear him so to me he passes on to his babies.
Vanyel at work: Vanyel in his first year showing in hand at the recognized dressage shows is consistently scoring in the upper 60's to mid 70's.
2002 he was UNDEFEATED in Aged Stallions.
In Memory of: 1997-2005
Beloved by All Who Knew Him
My Heart is Broken Without Him
Many Thanks to All Who have Expressed Their Condolences
