Our mission is to empower youth and women to achieve their true potential and unleash the power within through the friendship and grace of the Friesian Horse.
The Friesian Alliance & Friendship Barn is a place of grace and rejuvenation for both the human and the horses in residence. Through gentling practices passed down from our Native American ancestors, the horses are able to live in communion with their people.

A Unique Horsemanship Program
Through the preservation of the Friesian Horse, Friesian Alliance is able to share the beauty and healing power of this rare breed. We believe that there is nothing that heals like the horse-human connection. Our students learn basic handling of the horse, ground work, grooming, general care and even therapeutic riding of the Friesian horse. Our students develop a working relationship with horses. Students grow in confidence and strength, accomplishment and self worth, along with a loving grateful attitude through the friendship of the Friesian horse.
We offer a special Friesian Horse Experience for Women and a fun Youth Summer Day camp for youth.
