Sjoerd — 4-Year-Old KFPS Friesian Stallion for Sale

Sjoerd van de Braamberg is a handsome, well-bred KFPS-registered Friesian stallion for sale — born May 7, 2021, standing 16.5 hands, available at $50,000 through Titan Stables in Drewryville, Virginia. A Second Premium-awarded horse at his official 2021 KFPS foal inspection, carrying bloodlines anchored in Motherline 191 with a paternal granddam who holds KFPS Stamboek Ster Preferent AAA*6 — six registered Ster offspring and the full AAA composite designation combined — Sjoerd's pedigree is one of the most designation-rich currently available in his age group.

His sire pedigree is built on three consecutive generations of high-level KFPS designation. By Menne 496 (KFPS Stamboek Sport AA) — himself by Norbert 444 (KFPS Sport Preferent AAA) out of Nynke fan 't Skånswyke (KFPS Stamboek Ster Preferent AAA*6) — Sjoerd carries exceptional sire genetics. Norbert 444, as a Sport Preferent AAA approved stallion, is one of the most decorated stallions of his generation for the combination of athletic performance, conformation quality, and pedigree documentation. Nynke fan 't Skånswyke holds the extraordinary designation of Ster Preferent AAA with six registered Ster offspring — carrying three separate KFPS designations simultaneously, including the AAA composite recognition. The combination of Sport Preferent AAA on the grandsire and Ster Preferent AAA*6 on the granddam, with Menne 496 earning Sport AA designation of his own, makes Sjoerd's sire side a three-generation record of exceptional KFPS designation that few horses in his generation can match.

His maternal side carries consistent, correctly documented KFPS quality within Motherline 191. His dam, Nienke van de Braamberg (KFPS Stamboek), by Tjalbert 460 (KFPS Stamboek AA) out of Hetske H. (KFPS Stamboek), provides a dam line of correct KFPS Stamboek type with a Stamboek AA grandsire. An inbreeding coefficient of 5.08% reflects the focused family breeding that concentrated the exceptional Norbert 444 / Nynke fan 't Skånswyke sire-side designations.

At his official KFPS foal inspection on 14.08.2021, Sjoerd was awarded Second Premium — external, objective recognition of his early type, conformation, and presentation quality. Second Premium at KFPS inspection confirms a horse who clearly meets the studbook's demanding standard for recognition.

Sjoerd stands 16.5 hands — impressive height for a purebred Friesian — with a bright, refined, intelligent expression and correct, balanced overall conformation. His head is appealing and open, his neck carries a natural arch, and his frame is well-proportioned and correct from the ground up. He carries himself with the natural presence and baroque elegance that defines quality Friesian type and photographs with the effortless authority of a horse who looks the part in any setting.

His character is genuinely friendly and consistently honest. He is easy in the stable, cooperative in all ground handling, and brings a relaxed, attentive quality to his training that speaks to the care of his upbringing and the inherent character of his breeding. Under saddle and for carriage, Sjoerd has been started and is developing with real enthusiasm. His gaits are correct and honest — clear walk, developing trot with rhythm and engagement, balanced canter — and he shows early indications of genuine talent that will continue to emerge as training advances. At 16.5 hands with correct conformation and a pedigree of this designation depth, Sjoerd will attract serious attention from breeders as well as sport buyers.

Available at $50,000 through Titan Stables. Full KFPS studbook documentation confirming Second Premium, Motherline 191 descent, and Ster Preferent AAA*6 paternal granddam, complete veterinary health records, and our 30-day health guarantee included. International export via USDA-compliant health certification and worldwide door-to-door logistics available.
