This is a musical freestyle dressage performance by Jasper 366 and his rider Peter Spahn, from the 2007 stallion show in Leeuwarden Friesland. January 12-13, 2007.
Finally, exceptional teamwork and movement! His collection is premium, and I can see why he's a very popular stallion! This is what time, work, and dedication brings for a horse and rider and I'd expect nothing less from Jasper. He's definitely earned a place amongst his breed.
Jasper was Champion Friesian Stallion two years in a row. He has always been treated with care. I have one of his sons, and he carries his head like this naturally -- one of the reasons he was a US Equestrian Federation Horse of the Year in 2010.
This is my all time favorite horse. Jasper is an outstanding stallion,I have two of his daughters in my stable,a pleasure to have a piece of him here...He combines beauty and elegance and a fantastic temper he certainly has brought on to his offspring.A treasure for friesian breeding !
I love how expressive fresians are. He is beautiful! My next purchase= fresian stallion. This video confirmed it lol. He looks like so much fun to ride!
What a beautiful horse! I love friesians. I did my first Dressage Test in April and posted the video. I wasn't that great (my horse isn't built for Dressage), but it was SOOO much fun! I can see why people get into the high level Dressage. I would love to be that good someday.
Wow....He floats!! RIP dear Jasper! You will inspire us for years to come! We lost a treasure but you will continue to blaze your glory into the Universe 🌠
Found this at the top of my RUclips feed this morning. Such a delight to see Jasper 366 at his best so many years ago in 2007. He was a very special horse. Thank you. 🥰
I absolutely love the Friesian breed. They have such great presence and carry themselves so very proudly. Use to ride a beautiful black mare, half-Tennessee Walker and half-Arabian. She was one spirited lady, all right.
What a beautiful horse. And the way he is being ridden is also beautiful. At the very end he almost seems weightless. There appears no "force'. When an animal that big is being forced you would see it at every step. I had an Arab who could stomp his feet with displeasure yet appear to be obeying me...there is a difference. . Thank you for the performance it was delightful!!
I do love the friesians doing dressage! He is magnificent. It truly is unfortunate that people are critiquing his head carriage. Notice that at times of the performance, their is slack in the rein's and the stallion's head doesn't move an inch? I have an eleven year old standardbred that (believe it or not) will hold his head in a VERY similar way no matter how I hold the reins. He obviously loves to perform and what a stunning boy!!! Not unnatural at all!
WoW, what can I say, it is a pleasure to look at friesian. But this guy is one of beautiest and the best trained and friesians i have ever seen!! To those who say his head is pulled to his chest, its the way many friesian are builed, especially the stallions... (sorry for my spelling, English is not my motherlanguge)
I completely agree, finally someone understands. When the horse lowers his head, he is shifting his weight onto his front legs, which is the opposite of collection. This also creates upwards energy, especially in canter, instead of the forward gait it should be.
Thanks for the insight. It is interesting to see the stylistic difference in a Freisian performing compared to a horse like Gestion Salinero with Anky van Grunven. Same moves, but so different. Jasper makes me believe that these movements were designed as war tactics with his powerful build. I would love to see this routine to a more martial soundtrack.
that horse obviously LOVES his job! what a great ride. It must be hard for that rider to keep the correct leg contact since he has such long legs. they are a good match though.
He does the lead change in the back end beautifully. if only I can get my mare to do it. but shes also in 4th level dressage and so am i...so we have to get it done soon.awesome horse.
Me too. Thanks so much. I actually picked my Sami up today from Iron Spring. Hoping for a Jasper and a Heinse baby next year. Sounds greedy doesn't it??? LOL I love them all. They take my breath away too. Did you hear Irons Spring bought Ulbert?
I dont know that much about fresians because I'm more used tobeing around thoroughbreds and Arabs but both horse and rider look totaly in sync and the horse seemes to carry himself well. The horse has beautiful flowing movements and dosent seem tense, which is good! onerall I think these two make a great pair!
It actually lifts the back and engages the hind legs. The frame is when a horse lowers it's head to create a contact, lifts it's spine, and carries itself a lot lighter.
I totally agree.. They belong in circuses, not in dressage.. Dressage is all about showing how loose and relaxed the horse can be when doing exercises, and they don't look relaxed at all! They are so wired all the time..
it is amazing!! i want your extended trot and your Seat!! My god it was beautiful! I wish the horse i'm riding did that with his extended. He goes out plenty even with the floating effect, but he doesn't pop his knees like that and he a Purebred Golden American Saddle bred! Hes got the WORST trot for sitting though!lOl, I'm jealous! Tell Me your secret!!!!
Trust me, the tights definitely do it for me when it's rider's legs! I guess it depends on whether you've got something to hide about the body :-) or maybe I'm just European enough to love classic riding clothes.
Still wet behind the ears at dressage so it's worth bout half-pence eh? Lovely suspension on such a large horse! Extended trot action is awesome! Not one swish of the tail, he likes this movement :). Parroting my trainer now but I would like to see more rein at free-walk and then collection again (She says this to me ALL the time). Left pirouette is easier for him eh?. LOVELY horse, amazing rider. Maybe one day for me& my horse with time, much work & dedication. Thank you for the dream.
For comments about overflexion, Fresians have a high natural head carriage that compared to other breeds may seem overflexed but in fact is not. The Fresian is built quite differently than a Thoroughbred or most warmbloods.
I really love friesians.Jasper's gorgeous. Friesians are just so boxy that they can't extend their shoulder as well in the extended trot. Jasper looks really good in his though. He's a big guy, so he seems to really have to try hard to switch those leads. He has to pop up his back end or something. I think friesians are probably hard to get on the bit and go behind the vertical because they have a naturally thick and arched neck. so its hard to tell when they are and aren't on the bit.
I have a Friesian baby.... The very nature of the breed carries themselves this way.... Stop going on about it if you know nothing about it :) Friesians are so intelligent and so willing to please... Cannot wait to ride him!!! :)
Dressage is very spectacular. I adore this sport, because is need a lot of work in order achieve something..."Every can learn drive on horseback , but go in harmony with horse it is art ..." P.S Sorry for mistakes, but I can't English very good. ;)
Friesans are built that way. He would look more collected than another breed even when not performing. He is loving his work! And he lived to be almost 30, well cared for and spoiled!
ja idd, hij loopt met z'n hoofd veel te veel onder, maar zijn gangen vind ik wel prachtig, hij is goed verzameld en dat moet ook bij dit hoge niveau van dressuur... groetjes
ahhh!!!! i get to ride and show this horsies son as soon as my broken back heals. i cant fricken wait!!!!!!! they all say that maximus (his son) moves even better then him! ahhhh cant waiiiit!!!!
Goffert was a huge shock. Poor Herbie. He'll definately be missed. He was a treasure. His empty stall is sooo sad. Folkert, very nice!!!! Have you seen the ISF stallion videos on here?
I don't know what it is about this horse and this video, but I cry everytime I watch it. Hes absolutely magnificent!
He is...just gorgeous!!

I love those super extended trot things at the end. They, both horse and rider, seem to be flying! He seems like a dream to ride
Wow!! What a beautiful horse and a great dressage test. I also loved the music.
Wow he is beautiful, you trained him very good. They had to have given you 1st place. Keep up the good work!
Beautiful I can't wait to get my Friesian gelding home. He makes it to the stated in 21 days so Excited!
I feel so lucky to own one of his offspring!!!!!! :D
Bravo, Cecilia!!!
i luv the way the horse is so sure where he puts his hoofs lol amazing
amazing action... must be a pleasure to ride!
I love how expressive fresians are. He is beautiful! My next purchase= fresian stallion. This video confirmed it lol. He looks like so much fun to ride!
He is so beautiful! They did a good job and make an awesome team. I love the extended trots!
Jasper's my favorite stallion. Our mare in the NL is being bred to him later this month and we're very excited about the foal.
I love Jasper! He is magnificent and loves to do what he does. He takes my breath away from me every time I watch him move.
He's GORGEOUS!!! the way he moves is stunning
Wow! That horse is Amazing! Ahh if only my horses would do all that!
I had never seen a Friesian in Dressag until today. Wow. He's so beautiful and handled so well. He seemed very light on his feet too. Fabulous!
SOoOoOoO PRETTY! loved those extended trots :D:D i want my horse to do that
This is very nice. The horse is beautiful.
beautiful performance! I love fresians, the way move, its wonderful. I wish I could afford one....someday I suppose :P
What a beautiful horse! I love friesians.
I did my first Dressage Test in April and posted the video. I wasn't that great (my horse isn't built for Dressage), but it was SOOO much fun! I can see why people get into the high level Dressage. I would love to be that good someday.
beautiful exhibition ride!! I loved how the rider reassured his horse with a quick pet every now and then!
I want to get a fresian one day. I love the way they move. They look like they are floating on air. I love lipizzaners and gypsys too
Wow....He floats!!
RIP dear Jasper! You will inspire us for years to come! We lost a treasure but you will continue to blaze your glory into the Universe 🌠
I love these horses.
Are phenomenally beautiful

Lisa 🌏🇦🇺🐨. ☮️❤️🐎. 👏
I agree -- the feathers are part of what make this breed so amazing. But he is gorgeous.
Very expressive and powerful horse!
Don’t normally see him being ridden. Thanks for this 🙌🏻
I do love the friesians doing dressage! He is magnificent. It truly is unfortunate that people are critiquing his head carriage.

wow ma è fantastico!!!!!!!!!!!!!!adoro i frisoni!magari ne avessi uno così..
WoW, what can I say, it is a pleasure to look at friesian. But this guy is one of beautiest and the best trained and friesians i have ever seen!! To those who say his head is pulled to his chest, its the way many friesian are builed, especially the stallions... (sorry for my spelling, English is not my motherlanguge)
i love the horses that have feathers. especially when they have polos or boots on, i think it looks like they have paws.
I completely agree, finally someone understands. When the horse lowers his head, he is shifting his weight onto his front legs, which is the opposite of collection. This also creates upwards energy, especially in canter, instead of the forward gait it should be.
Katia....... That's how they do it, right??? 👍😊
wow, this is verry beautiful
My favourite breed.. They're beautiful!!

Never was a sports fan of any type but if this is a sport, I am now. The horse was magnificent to put it mildly!
there was a fresian at my yard and he moved fluidily
not mechanical
i find them a stunning breed
He does the lead change in the back end beautifully. if only I can get my mare to do it. but shes also in 4th level dressage and so am i...so we have to get it done soon.awesome horse.
Jasper is gorgeous, there are some foals after him here.
He has a real show-look!
Piterke's been confirmed 3 times now in foal. So, she's coming home next week. We're very excited!!!
You too. They are a true addiction and a passion. Nice to meet you.
He is incredible.. friesians 4 ever :)
his trot is massively impressive.
A friesian is my dream horse.
Good rider!
Soooooo beautiful! 🤗❤🙏🏽
Truly a king. He is magnificent. Was Jasper ever in the Olympics?
What an exquisite horse. ❤️
My god, that extended trot at the end... *drool*
Me too. Thanks so much. I actually picked my Sami up today from Iron Spring. Hoping for a Jasper and a Heinse baby next year. Sounds greedy doesn't it??? LOL I love them all. They take my breath away too. Did you hear Irons Spring bought Ulbert?

Karina Denmark
I love that horseee!
wow his trot is incredible
it is amazing!! i want your extended trot and your Seat!! My god it was beautiful! I wish the horse i'm riding did that with his extended.

this is aweesome. Would like it a little more relaxed probably, but I bet few could've done it better! awesome job
Trust me, the tights definitely do it for me when it's rider's legs! I guess it depends on whether you've got something to hide about the body :-) or maybe I'm just European enough to love classic riding clothes.
Gorgeous boy!

P.S Sorry for mistakes, but I can't English very good. ;)
Legend!❤
Nice horse, but very tense over the neck and the back. I think that is what makes the changes resistant and croup high. Very elegant rider.
Heavenly.
That is the most collected horse I have ever seen in my life. Poor thing, look at its neck! But nice test
Grace Tucker......," Poor thing..???"
Friesans are built that way. He would look more collected than another breed even when not performing. He is loving his work! And he lived to be almost 30, well cared for and spoiled!
Stunning animal.
Tosi hieno !!!!!!=)
@TheRealRealRoxas mine too. love friesians. they are so flexible to ride.
Very intelegence creature...
ja idd, hij loopt met z'n hoofd veel te veel onder, maar zijn gangen vind ik wel prachtig, hij is goed verzameld en dat moet ook bij dit hoge niveau van dressuur...
groetjes
They are so good! Wish i could do dressage like that. =( but the rider is huge on the horse! His legs are like 6 inches too long!
ahhh!!!! i get to ride and show this horsies son as soon as my broken back heals. i cant fricken wait!!!!!!! they all say that maximus (his son) moves even better then him! ahhhh cant waiiiit!!!!
Goffert was a huge shock. Poor Herbie. He'll definately be missed. He was a treasure. His empty stall is sooo sad. Folkert, very nice!!!! Have you seen the ISF stallion videos on here?
@whitestarline08 yes..but he does it when he should makes a flying chance...and i have seen many horses which make that...;)
he looks like he,s having fun
