Meet Josie, an eye-catching yearling filly with the pedigree, movement, and temperament to excel in a variety of disciplines. This lovely young lady combines the elegance and athleticism of the Friesian with the proven performance and trainability of the Morgan—making her an exciting prospect for dressage, English, driving, or pleasure performance.
Josie is proudly sired by the exceptional Iron Spring Farm’s Tjalbert 460, a KFPS AA Approved Friesian Dressage Stallion known for his superior conformation, elastic movement, and outstanding temperament. Tjalbert earned top scores and dressage championships in the Netherlands, including a win at the Friesian Indoor Dressage Championships, and in 2022 captured the prestigious Get of Sire Class at Dressage at Devon, competing against all breeds.
Tjalbert 460 consistently passes on his exceptional qualities, producing offspring with outstanding movement, talent, and trainability. His progeny include dressage horses scoring as high as 79%, Star mares, breed show winners, and keuring champions. He is admired for his powerful walk with excellent reach, balanced and supple trot, uphill canter, strong legs, and substantial hooves. Additionally, Tjalbert is free from Wessel bloodlines and is negative for Dwarfism and Hydrocephalus, making him an incredibly valuable sire.
On the dam side, Josie’s mother is a successful English Pleasure Morgan show horse, bringing beautiful loft, elegance, and expressive movement to the mix. Josie already shows the kind of natural suspension and fluid gaits that make her an exciting prospect for the show ring.
Beyond her pedigree and athletic promise, Josie is kind, gentle, and a joy to handle. She is handled daily, easy to work with, and has a willing, people-oriented personality that makes her a pleasure to be around. She has the mind and temperament to become an exceptional partner for an amateur or professional alike.
Whether your goals are dressage, pleasure, driving, or simply owning a beautiful and versatile partner with unlimited potential, Josie is ready to become someone’s dream horse.
