    Do you have any experience with them? What activity do you have in
    mind? In my experience they tend to lack stamina.

    I think they are spectacular and would love to own one. The price tag
    seems to be a big obstacle (big obstacle!). I recently got a list of
    horses for sale from Dark Horse Farms in Oregon. Their Friesians range
    from $8,000 (yearling) to $20,000 (broodmare). I'm wondering if this is
    the norm. I have written to the Fries. Assn. of NA for their package of info, haven't rec'd it yet. Do people out there know of other sources for these horses. They are used in certain circuses, I'm wondering where
    they buy their horses from and if they ever sell.

    Stud colts are easier to get going into winter when they haven't sold. you might get a little break but the top choices will be gone. I sent out messages asking for the "blue light special" and ended up with 2 for under $10k I had a lot of deals in
    the works too.....colts going into winter is your best bet.
