About Wilem
Wilem was born on 10 November 2001. This is my first view of Wilem at 5 months. Adorable, isn't he? I have always been a fan of Friesians but can't afford the price tag, so I had been looking casually at what cross-breds were available. As soon as I saw Wilem, viewed one day by "accident", I knew he was the one I had been waiting for, he had everything: temperament, looks and movement (of course I am not biased in ANY WAY).
Wilem was bred by Nadeen Davis at Wallbrook Stud at North Motton, Tasmania. Nadeen and husband Lee have done a super job handling Wilem from birth. Wilem ties up, floats and is excellent to handle in every way.
Wilem is by the purebred Friesian stallion, Othello, owned by Black Minx Stud. His dam, Charlotte of Wallbrook stud, is a beautiful crossbred mare by the thoroughbred stallion Prairie Wind. Othello is now deceased. Photo by Julie Wilson. What is a Friesian? The Friesian horse comes from Friesland in the Netherlands. They are all-black with flowing manes, tails and feathering on the legs. Their extraordinary beauty, magificent upright carriage, flowing extravagant movement, and gentle temperaments have made the Friesian many friends around the world. You might recall the magnificent Friesian stallion in the movie Ladyhawke. The movie is well worth a look if you haven't seen it.
What is a Friesian Warmblood? A "Friesian Warmblood" is a horse which is at least 25% Frieisian. Wilem is registered with the Australian Friesian Warmblood Horse Society (AFWHS). The Friesian gives beauty, loving temperament and stunning movement when crossed with other breeds. The Friesian Warmblood is a beautiful, athletic, versatile horse suited to many activities.
