Incredible as it may sound, at one point in his competition career, Tinus won First Place at 17 consecutive individual rides. He also won the USDF Regional Championships at 2nd Level, 3rd Level, 4th Level, Prix St. Georges, Intermediare I, Grand Prix and Grand Prix Freestyle. A true champion.

        Obviously, his movement in all gaits is superior. That movement combined with his gentle nature and incredible work ethic makes him one of a kind. Tall and beautifully balanced with correct conformation, Tinus is an elegant mover with fluid gaits. Incredibly easy to sit, he allows the rider to concentrate on the work at hand. Tinus is considered the "Sporthorse Model" Friesian.

        His offspring exhibit his elegance, long legs and temperament that are a perfect combination to excel in sport.
