Welcome
Welcome to Glenrose Friesians ... we are on Facebook...
Born in Friesland, a Province in the Netherlands we immigrated to New Zealand 25 years ago with the dream of one day importing Friesian Horses into New Zealand.
We have a passion for The Friesian Horse and for us it’s a "connection" with home.

Jolmer fan Twillens
The Friesian breed
- has become popular all over the world.
- are succesfully competing at top level dressage all over the world
- is a very intelligent, willing, and gentle horse who carries itself with elegance.
- has trainability, movement, presence and appearance which makes them ideal for Dressage.
- is eye-catching as a Carriage horse and is used for general Riding and Showing.
With their black coats, long thick mane and tails they have featured in many movies.
There are two conformation types.
The Classical heavier Friesian and the Modern Sport Horse type is finer-boned
Both types are common, though the modern type is currently much more popular because of the many uses and suitability for Sport. Jolmer is a typical Modern type Friesian, very suitable for Sport. He has been in training for dresage and is progressing very well.
Here at Glenrose Friesians, we are proud to offer quality professional facilities and caring and professional service for:
- Breeding
- Foaling

We would be proud to show you arround and provide you with more information
