Friesian Horses for Sale in NSW
There are very few Friesians for sale in New South Wales at any one time, which is why you are on this page. The breed exists in small numbers across the whole of Australia, so most buyers look interstate, and for a New South Wales buyer the closest place to look is south east Queensland. That is where we are. We breed purebred Friesians and Friesian Warmbloods at Yangan, and being at the southern end of Queensland means the thing most interstate buyers find hardest, coming to see the horse properly, is the easy part for you.
Come and see the horse,
more than once if you want to
We ask every buyer to view the horse before buying and we will not sell a horse sight unseen.
People can overstate their experience with horses, sometimes without meaning to, and a horse sold to a rider it does not suit can result in that person becoming injured, and often the horse ends up sold on again into undesirable circumstances.
Seeing you with the horse tells us in ten minutes what a phone call cannot.
For a New South Wales buyer that requirement is not much of an ask.
Buyers can drive here, or fly into Brisbane and hire a car, and we are just under two hours from the airport.
Plenty of people drive. Visits are by appointment and they do get taken up, so please ring ahead rather than calling in.
If you want to come twice, come twice. Multiple visits are a very important part of what we offer, and you are buying an animal you may have for twenty years.
What we have available
Every horse we have available is listed below, with its breeding, its age, the height we expect it to mature at and what training is in it.
We breed both purebred Friesians and Friesian Warmbloods. The horses we usually have available are young Friesian Warmblood geldings with extensive groundwork, and our purebred foals are the answer if a purebred is what you want. If you want to understand what makes one Friesian cost more than another before you look at anything, start with our price guide, which sets out the purebred and the Warmblood figures separately.

Rembrandt van Merindah, who we call Remmie, is 87% Friesian, born 10 January 2024, by Henrik OP out of our Friesian Warmblood mare Black Magic Zoe. He is a gelding, estimated to mature at around 16 hands, and he is the highest percentage horse we have offered for sale. He has had extensive groundwork and he is not started under saddle, because he is still too young for that. He leads, ties up, floats and travels calmly. He is very kind, soft and highly responsive, with the lovely expressive movement typical of the Friesian. Remmie becomes elevated more quickly if pressure is put on him, which is part of his Friesian heritage, so his owner needs good feel and communication. In the right hands he would power up into a highly expressive performance horse, or he would be a wonderfully kind and well mannered riding and pleasure horse with the most loving disposition you could want.
Purebred Friesians Available
We do not have a purebred Friesian for sale on the ground at the moment, and our purebred foals are the answer if that is what you are set on. Kismet of Terarossa is in foal to Dirk T van Sessing, an imported stallion standing on a breeding permit, due 5 November 2026, and that foal will be for sale. Our young purebred stallion Morpheus has his first foals due through early 2027. If a purebred is what you want, the conversation to have with us is about the foals coming rather than the horses standing in the paddock today
What our horses cost
These are our price guides for Friesian Warmblood horses, and they are the range rather than a figure against any one horse. What a horse sells for inside that range depends on its breeding, its conformation and movement, and how much training is already in it.
Unbroken,
50% to 75% Friesian
$16,500
Unbroken,
85% Friesian and above
$19,800
Started and in progressed training
*$25,000+
*depending on the training stage
Breaking in with our preferred horse breaker is $3,500 plus GST, which is $3,850.
We have a Contract of Sale that must be viewed and signed before the deposit is paid, as payment of deposit will indicate acceptance of the terms of the contract.
A deposit of $1,000 holds a horse, the balance of payment can be made as a lump sum or can be set up in a payment plan that results in the balance being paid in full before the horse leaves our property. These terms will be set out in the Contract of Sale.
Getting your horse to New South Wales
Up to two days by road, depending where in the state you are. Horses are not flown domestically in Australia, only for export, so the horse travels by float or horse truck and is unloaded to rest, feed and water along the way. We can recommend a transporter for you to book, or we can book on your behalf. Transport is at the purchaser’s cost.
Our young horses are taught to load and travel long before they are sold, with plenty of trips including into town and out on the highway, so a two day run is nothing new to them. You need to be there at the other end to receive the horse and settle it in.
There is more detail, state by state, on our Friesian horse transport page.
What happens next
Contact us and tell us what you want the horse for and your current experience level. If we have a horse that suits you we will say so, and if we do not we will tell you that too and let you know what is coming. Before you buy from anyone, ours included, read our guide to buying a Friesian, and if it is the cross you are interested in rather than a purebred, our Friesian Warmblood page explains what that actually means.
HAVE QUESTIONS?
Common questions
How far is your farm from New South Wales?
We are at Yangan, in south east Queensland, and buyers can easily drive here, or fly into Brisbane with the farm just under two hours from the airport. For most New South Wales buyers it is a short flight or a drive, which makes coming to see the horse in person a much smaller undertaking than it is for buyers further south.
How long does transport from Queensland to NSW take?
Up to two days, depending where in New South Wales you are. Horses are not flown domestically in Australia, only for export, so the horse travels by float or horse truck and is unloaded to rest, feed and water along the way. We can recommend a transporter for you to book, or we can book on your behalf. Transport is at the purchaser’s cost.
Do I have to come and see the horse first?
Yes, and we will not sell a horse sight unseen. We ask every buyer to view the horse before buying, because it is often the only way for us to know whether the horse and the rider suit each other. For New South Wales buyers this is the easiest part of the whole process, since we are at the southern end of Queensland rather than up north.
What Friesians do you have for sale?
Every horse we have available is listed on our Friesian horses for sale page, with its breeding, its age and what training is in it. We breed purebred Friesians and Friesian Warmbloods, and the horses we usually have available are young Friesian Warmblood geldings with extensive groundwork.
What do your horses cost?
Our unbroken Friesian Warmblood horses sit in two bands by percentage, with started horses in progressed training above that. The bands are on this page. We give you the price for an individual horse when you ring, and a deposit of $1,000 holds a horse.
Can I visit more than once before deciding?
Yes, and we would rather you did than rush it. Multiple visits are a very important part of what we offer. Visits are by appointment and they do get taken up, so ring ahead. Buying a horse you will have for twenty years is worth two trips.
