Friesians on Mackinac Island

Maryanke Alexander asked me to help her produce this video to show the beauty of the Friesian Horse in combination with the splendor of Mackinac Island. It truly is a magical place where dreams do come true. For those who do not know about Mackinac Island, it is in northern Michigan and is all bicycles and horses and carriages. You must take a ferry to get to the island. Photos are by 4 photographers all taken on the Island, and the video clips are of Nanning 374, taken during the Cally Matherly Photoshoot in 2007. Nanning's rider is Katie Allen, who was 16 years old at time of the shoot and this was her first time riding Nanning. Credits are at the end of the video but here too is a thankyou to those who provided their photos to make this video possible. And thanks to Maryanke for coming 2 1/2 hours to sit beside me while I made this one! Couldn't have done it without you. :) For more information please visit www.friesiansonmackinac.com and also www.mackinacislandfestivalofthehorse.com

This video is absolutely breath taking, horses are so beautiful and the music is perfect for this video. When ever I watch this it makes me want to get in my car and drive to Mackinac Island.

Thanks so much! That is exactly what it is supposed to do! The Mackinac Island Festival of the Horse is this coming July 20-24th 2011 and there are TONS of great things planned with all the horses on the island! There are many Friesians there and they will be performing and meeting everyone. Also clinicians Clay Meyer and Richard Shrake are coming to teach! You should come!

If it's not a thoroughbred, it's just a horse.
