Mystro (Available)
Mystro is a five-year-old Tjalbert x Tsjerk gelding who suffered a stifle injury during a pasture accident when he was two years old. Due to his injury, he is pasture sound only and is seeking a home as a companion horse. He is sensitive to noise and requires an experienced home.
Mystro is currently located in Northern California.
Ilsa (In Rehab)
Ilsa is a 9-year-old Sape x Jorrit mare who was surrendered due to severe complications associated with presumptive irritable bowel disease.
Ilsa has made tremendous progress in regaining weight and overall health. Our focus at this time is on identifying and avoiding any triggers that could cause a flare-up for her. Once Ilsa has regained sufficient condition and strength, she will return to regular work undersaddle and prepare for her adoption.
Ilsa is a very sweet girl who loves living outside with her friends. She is easy to handle, but can be slow to move her feet when she doesn't want to do something, and can be reactive to stimuli in certain situations. She loves to be groomed, pampered, and loved on.

Marcus (Resident)
Marcus was surrendered to us as a weanling foal soon after he was diagnosed with megaesophagus. Due to his health issues, Marcus is not adoptable and is part of our resident herd. He has played a pivotal role in our genetic research into the inheritance of megaesophagus in Friesian horses.
Marcus was raised at one of our satellite facilities with Martin (below) until he joined the herd at the Fenway Foundation in 2023. To learn more about Marcus & Martin, watch their story in the video below.
Herman (Resident)
Herman is a handsome senior gelding who was diagnosed and treated for sesamoiditis when he was younger and thankfully he has remained pasture-sound since then. He was surrendered to the Fenway Foundation in 2018 and was later diagnosed with Cushing's Disease and EPM.
Herman has responded very well to treatment and has been enjoying life as a permanent resident at the Fenway Foundation. Herman is such a gentleman, and he is very fond of spending time with our mares. We are so pleased Herman has been able to enjoy his golden years with us!

Adopted Horses
Whatever the reason, a Friesian Horse may need rescue. Whether the causes are economic, intervention by civil authorities, or abandonment, Friesian horses are entitled to be cared for and treated with the dignity deserving of their nobility.
Since the Fenway Foundation was created in 2010, we have placed more than 70 Friesian horses in loving, forever homes.
