21.01.2022 TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP We are putting together a guide for buyers and sellers when transferring the ownership of a Friesian Warmblood. In recent weeks, we have seen several unusual situations come about that we are currently addressing and we have noticed there seems to be some confusion on both sides about the process. So we want to hear from you as well. What information did you find important, wish you knew or had checked before buying or selling your Friesian Warmblood?... Eg 1. Do I have to sign the Certificate of Registration AND Transfer of Ownership form when selling a Friesian Warmblood? Eg 2. I am a minor- can I buy a Friesian Warmblood and have it transferred into my name?

21.01.2022 **NSW Members** We are currently in touch with Hawkesbury Ag about their event on the 23rd-24th January. However, they have some questions, including if any of our members are likely to attend. Can you please comment below or email [email protected] ASAP to let us know or discuss further as they are hoping to finalise and release the programme next week? We would love to support you all out there if you are planning to attend?... We look forward to hearing back from you soon.

It was my Friesian X mare's first taste of many floats, horses, owners, noises she was not used to but behaved beautifully, phew. Chandon, my Friesian, competed in dressage with her rider Meeri Lee and came away with great scores and hig...h hopes for the future, so pleased. I competed in in-hand and she also competed in Show horse with Meeri riding and in both we won ribbons. Wonderful experience as I spent time with a great team of support and with my horse."

05.01.2022 Congratulations to Erin Freestone and her boy Rio, for taking out Supreme Champion Friesian Warmblood at Winterama today! We heard it was an exciting day for you; well done on the results. Anyone else do anything exciting with their Friesian Warmnloods this weekend? Feel free to share photos in the comments, as we would love to see.

03.01.2022 Congratulations to the 7 entrants at the Equissage Equestrian Festival | Breed Classes yesterday. We had one of the largest turn outs for the breeds and all of you did the Society and our breed proud! What an amazing photo of you all?!

03.01.2022 --HI POINT-- The committee held a meeting recently, and decided it would be unfair to run the hi point on a national level, due to each state being at different levels of restrictions and lack of events. With that in mind, we will be running the hi point on a state level, placing a winner, runner up and second runner up. Points will be accrued as listed in the card (available on the website), so please submit hi point card at the end of the year as usual and we will do th...e rest. Note for this year, no points will be put towards the Roll of Merit.

03.01.2022 A mid-week giggle for you all! :)

03.01.2022 It has been an absolute delight to see so many of our members having such amazing weekends with their Friesian Warmbloods and fellow members. Feel free to share some photos on the comments of your weekend as well :) We love seeing what you have all been up to!

Are you interested in a social catch up in your State? Get in touch with your state rep or the Secretary and we will see what we can do!
