Breyer Traditional Sjoerd Friiesian

Every stallion owner wants to leave a legacy, and for Three Day Ranch owner Xena Vimercati, 2005 Friesian Sjoerd has fulfilled that desire. Ever since he entered the show ring, Sjoerd, the only Friesian stallion to win the USEF Horse of the Year title, has been setting records. Even though he started out competing in saddle seat and hand, he eventually won the title of world champion in every discipline in which he was allowed to compete. The fact that he accomplished this while being seen by youths and amateurs just adds to how amazing it is!

More USEF and International Friesian Show Horse Association (IFSHA) champion titles have been earned by him and his offspring to date than by any other Friesian stallion. Sjoerd was also the first Friesian stallion to be named champion in both Baroque and Sport Horse stallion in hand, and the first to be ranked #1 in the USA while his offspring concurrently held the #1 partbred ranking.

Sjoerd retired in 2015 with 74 world champion titles and 130 regional champion titles. Incredibly, he’s still ranked #1 with over 19,000 career points.
