Dedicated and specialized in the training and showing of Friesian horses, Fryslân Valley Sport Horses is located in Lexington, Kentucky.  As specialists for the breed for handling, conditioning, educating and showing, Fryslân Valley Sporthorses has built a great track record in the short years it was founded by Arnold and Lisa Warmels.

In 2006, Arnold started his own training stables in the USA after moving from the Netherlands. The first years in the USA, he studied with multiple American trainers to learn how things are done in the US horse industry and had grateful opportunities to work with hundreds of American horses trained in different disciplines.

Methods that he learned on several locations in the USA and that contribute to the welfare and education of the horse are incorporated in the European training program that Arnold tailors for the individual horse in his care. In the horse-world, there are many methods tried and taught, one just has to figure out which works with whom and with the least of disturbance.

Horses learn by experience, not by textbooks or logic.
