The FHAEF Promotes, and encourages the breeding of Friesian Horses. The FHAEF is a breed registry for your Friesian, Warmblood Friesian and Friesian crosses. The FHAEF is a very involved assocation in which you can have us register your horse, test them for breeding books, test foals for premiums, sell you friesian, and more! Our assocation is based after the real Friesian registy (FHANA) to make it interesting and educational. Please take a look around and learn about this wonderful breed!
