The BlackPearl Friesian Dance Troupe

02/17/2026

BlackPearl is looking to add some Friesians to the troupe. We are located in Ridgefield, Washington. We have intermediate to advanced riders looking for horses to join the troupe. Friesian geldings or stallions with basic dressage training are desired. Sale, lease or ideally donated horses are best. We can provide great homes and there are opportunities for these horses to do the amazing work only Friesians can do. If you know, you know! We connect with public to offer healing, connection and magic through performances but also assisted living care visits, parades, school visits, veterans events and basically any where we can help. Hit us up
If you are interested! Volunteers for ground crew are needed as well.

A couple of Black Pearl members attended the Clark County Fair Court coronation dinner last night to support Princess River and Queen Heidi, who are huge supporters of our Halloween Horse Show. We bid and won some beautiful items from the auction. We ate wonderful food from Mr. Brown's BBQ and got a bundt cake from the dessert dash!

We had the pleasure of taking a few horses to share with residents and employees of The Quarry and Touchmark assisted living centers last Saturday. It was a truly lovely time. Detmer/Jade,Jelke/Kammi, Cavalli/Karen, Doctor/Meg with support from Judy, Pat and Stacie ( photos by Stacie) The Memory Care stop was particularly a sweet connection. Community outreach is what we love. Let us know if you we can help.

I know this is a long shot but there was a woman we met at the Halloween show that was interested in getting a Friesian with the troupe. If you are that woman, send us a message please.

Long lines formed by princesses and superheroes to meet Charlie and Jelke. So many smiles brought joy to the community and the Pearls.
