Black Horses - Femma

Femma L (Teunis 332 x Oege) Stb MODEL Mare - 16.3hh (b.2001)

Let us introduce Femma L, a truly regal mare well aware of the fact she is Queen of the Greenbank Farm Stud. Born in 2001, imported to the UK in 2005 and in 2008 became the very first of her breed in the UK to be awarded the prestigious ‘MODEL’ status by the international inspection jury of ‘Koninklijke Vereniging Het Friesch Paarden Stamboek’ (KFPS).

KFPS Inspectors, Jaap Boersma and Popke van de Meulen, praised Femma for her “upstanding presence, excellent conformation and superb movement” and bestowed awards of ‘Best Mare’ and ‘Overall Champion of the 2008 UK inspections’, but the highest accolade was still to come with her finally being crowned with “MODEL” mare status.

To put this into context, only a handful of Friesian mares throughout the world receive the ‘Model’ title each year. To qualify for Model status, mares must be over seven years of age, have raised a foal, be awarded a first premium at a Breeders Show and a Central Inspection. They are also required to have scored in excess of 77 points in ridden and driven performance tests in the Netherlands. In short, they must be amongst the best examples of the breed in the world. Femma scored an outstanding 81.5 points for her ridden test and 80.0 points for her carriage driving test.

Femma is such an outstanding example of the Friesian breed that we couldn’t ask for a better foundation mare for our long term breeding aspirations. She is currently participating in an embryo transfer programme and enquiries about availability should be directed to our Contact page.
