                <![CDATA[Join us for an amazing conversation with international dressage rider Marc-Peter Spahn as we discuss what it takes for a Friesian to be successful in dressage and how character is an essential part of that equation! Peter's career with Friesian horses was born when he took up riding the approved KFPS stallion Adel 357 and has since grown on the international dressage stage to include many impressive Friesians such as Anders 451, Elias 494, Jeroen 535, and Mees 497.]]>

                <![CDATA[Faye O'Hara was just a teenager when a terrible car accident left her paralyzed with the use of only her left arm. As an avid rider and horse lover, learning she'd never walk again was devastating, but that was nothing compared to finding out she'd no longer be able to ride or compete with her horses.

Through sheer tenacity, Faye and her Friesian gelding, Majestic, overcame all the odds and showed those who doubted them that you can do anything if you want it badly enough.]]>
