Stamboek
or also called
Studbook
The Barock
Pinto horse
(Pinto Friesian) have been breeding in the Netherlands for
more than 50
years.
It started
when Mr. Hellinga offered his Pinto Nico for stud. This stud had
absolutely not been approved
in any studbook. In that time it had not been prohibited to offer unapproved
studs for breeding. But studbooks were not happy with Bonte (Pinto) Nico and went as far
as to lay in wait in the forests, in hopes of seizing him, castrating and thus
finishing his breeding. The penalty fines amounted to fl.30, =. This fine
was gladly paid, as the Pinto foals of Bonte Nico already produced 4 x the
income of a Friesian offspring. A Friesian offspring brought an average of
fl.200, whereas Pinto Nico
offspring
bought fl.1000.=
However, Bonte Nico received a lot of recognition and covered a minimum of 100
mares in that time. In the 80's stood Bonte Bart from Mr. B. Renken of Marssum in Friesland for
breeding. This Stud also was very popular but his offspring were
not registered in
any studbooks.
Fortunately, there were enough breeders of these horses that the breed continued.
Among such breeders was Mr. H. de Ruiter of Bantega, NL. He has bred
Pinto
Friesians for 25 years!
Now with our new Studbook, it will be finally possible to register the future
foals.
We hope we can
breed this unique race and can preserve it for the future.

Development
of the BPS registered Pinto Friesian in the USA
Watching for a
decade as Mr. Arnold Wemmenhove bred his Pinto Samber motherline DWB mare
with approved Friesian Grand Prix stallion Adel 357, producing BPS Foundation
sire - Willem van Nassau. Willem is successfully competing International
Dressage with Bennie van Ness (see sport section). Excalibur
Horses has attended the keurings in the Netherlands, purchasing and
importing this fine breed to the USA, with clients enthusiastically buying the
initial 9 imported foals in less than 5 months. In spring of 2012 the
first BPS foal was born to imported 2011 CH Emma. Also in 2012Excalibur
purchased and imported the newly approved BPS Stallion PETER. BPS USA
looks forward to its first keuring in 2013.
