Friesian Ink Breeding Program

At Top Hat Friesians, we have three breeding programs. The first is the breeding of purebred Friesians. The second is for the Barock Pinto and our third breeding program is for KWPN (Dutch Warmblood Registry) Dutch Warmblood Pintos. We called the two programs for black and white horses Friesian Ink.

Barockpinto is a breed recognized by ECHA, The European Coloured Horse Association. ECHA is the owner of the Barock pinto studbook in Europe and are the only association able to issue true registration papers from the original studbook for the breed. There is a lot of information about the breed on our About Barock Pintos page. Barock Pintos should not be confused with other crosses that are called "barock pintos" but do not have the ECHA papers to back up that claim. ECHA has specific requirements for registration of Barock Pinto horses into the studbook. All of our programs will produce horses that will excel in equestrian performance sports.

We are very excited to be the owners of the only ECHA-ESV registered horses in all of North America with our purchase of the Barock Pinto colt Picasso's Masterpiece and the Barock Pinto filly Nikita, who are part of the Friesian Ink foundation stock and who will be arriving at our farm in October. They're being imported from Denmark.

The Friesian Ink program is centered around our Barock Pinto stallion, Picasso's Masterpiece, our Barock Pinto filly Nikita and our KWPN Dutch Warmblood mare Ducati SF. Picasso is a weanling stallion, Nikita is a weanling filly, both registered with ECHA, and Ducati SF is a yearling filly with Olympic jumping and dressage performance lineage registered with the KWPN (Dutch Warmblood Registry).

We have a few years before Picasso, Nikita and Ducati are old enough for breeding but we will show them in the meantime. Friesian Ink's foundation stock includes the following horses. Click on their picture to go to their individual pages.
