We also congratulate Chris & Monique Thornley on the importation of their superb Ster Mare.

Monique had been looking for her dream horse for some time. I came accross this mare and researched her breeding. I happen to mention her to Monique and after many telephone conversations, emails and a visit to the mare by her Uncle in the Netherlands, Meinoedske (or Big M) was purchased.

Meinoedske is in foal to the magnificent FPS studbook approved stallion Nanning. She is a beautiful example of the Friesian Horse and has an amazing temperament. Currently she is one of only 6 Friesian horses in Tasmania.
