In Memoriam
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Approved Stallion,
Von Faust.
Born March 1994 - Died April 2009
Approved in 2002. Owned by FHS Board member, Linda Clair.
Somewhere in time's own space
There must be some sweet pastured place
Where creeks sing on and tall trees grow
Some paradise where horses go,
For by the love that guides my pen
I know that Faust lives again.

WE are pleased and proud to announce that the FHS has been granted the Universal Equine Life Number to register the Friesian horse in the United States and Canada.
ALL registries that wish to participate in the International recognition that a UELN provides, have a UELN for their breed. For instance, the KFPS has the UELN for the Friesian in the Netherlands.
In the USA the list includes but is not limited to, the AQHA for Quarter Horses, APHA for Paint Horses, The Jockey Club for Thoroughbreds, AHA for Arabians, AWR for American Warm Bloods, the AHHS for Hackneys, Oldenburgs, Trakehners, and Lippizans are just a few examples.
This UELN will insure that your FHS registered Friesian can be uniquely identified throughout the world! Registries participating in the UELN have the ability to exchange important data concerning the horses such as the pedigree, owner, breeder, etc. There will be more information, including a detailed explanation of the UELN in the next edition of the electronic Friesian Brief.
Lexington, KY (April 10, 2008) - The United States Dressage Federation announced today that 2008 preliminary award standings for the Adequan/USDF Year-End Awards, including the Adequan/USDF All-Breeds Awards, are now available on the USDF Web site as well as archived award results for the previous two competition seasons. Anyone who logs into the USDF site can access the most up-to-date award standings and monitor these standings throughout the competition year. Archived results are available only to those individuals who are logged into the USDF Web site and have a participating or business membership (PM/BM).
The preliminary awards standings for Adequan/USDF Year-End Awards are obtained by selecting an award category (i.e. Dressage Horse of the Year, Adult Amateur, Junior/Young Rider) and level (Training - Grand Prix). In the case of the Adequan/USDF All-Breeds Awards, the standings are available by selecting an all-breeds participating organization (PO), category and level. However, only the standings in categories awarded by the chosen PO are accessible.
The preliminary award standings search function is available to determine a person’s or horse’s standing for the specified year-end awards. By entering a horse’s or person’s USDF number, one can access a full listing of their ranking for all respective awards.
“These new features not only provide additional benefits to our members, but will also maintain the accuracy of award standings throughout the year by enabling members to monitor their progress and address any issues prior to the year’s end,” stated Chad Compton, Director of IT Services.
