| Janice Pelzel is the Founder and Executive Director of the Friesian Rescue Society. |
| My first Friesian Horse was an anniversary gift. My husband and I drove to Black Sterling Friesians in Sonoma, California and looked at various horses for sale. It took only a second for me to fall in love with a first premiere gelding and marathon driving champion named Jouke. I am not sure if he chose me as much as I chose him, but from that day forward we established an unbreakable bond based on unconditional trust and love. I established The Friesian Rescue Society in January of 2007 as a way to guarantee a permanent home for horses like Jouke who can not be cared for by their current owners. With the help of some wonderful Federal , State and Private organizations, the Friesian Horse Society is currently purchasing 120 acres of land in Livermore, California to provide a place for Friesian horses that are currently in need of placement. It is the very least that I can do for having the privilege of sharing my life with such a magnificent horse. |
