04.20.11 - "Friesian Pioneer" Passes
Away
The Friesian Horse Association of North America
Reports, "Friesian Pioneer" passes away.
Tillie Tuls, who with her husband Jack, was
among the early importers and breeders of
Friesian horses to the U.S.  passed away
suddenly April 19th, 2011.  Tillie was an
enthusiastic promoter of the breed, worked
tirelessly as a FHANA board member and was
among the organizers of the first Friesian
Extravaganzas in Reno.  She was a serious
competitor in carriage driving and one of the early
U.S. advocates of Friesians as dressage horses.  
In addition to competitive events, Tuls Friesians
appeared at numerous venues and equine
events simply to promote the breed.  Scores of
people were introduced to the breed and acquired
their first Friesians at the Tuls' farm in southern
California and later at their farm in Idaho.  Tillie
Tuls was among the "Friesian Pioneers" who
helped shape the future of the breed in North
America.  
It is the Friesian Horse Club of Southern
California's understanding that Tillie was also
one of the founding members of the FHCSC, our
existence is in great part due to the Tuls and their
love for the Friesian Breed. We sincerely offer our
condolences to the Tuls family.

Changed.
The August Club Meeting will feature a guest
speaker from Born Saddlery who will give a talk
about Saddle Fitting your horse.  We will be using
horses for the talk so we will be having our meeting
next week on Wed Aug. 17th at Suzy Seamon's
house. The club will be providing food and bottled
water; feel free to bring other drinks if you want
them. Food will be served at 6:30pm and the talk on
Saddle fitting will start at 7pm. Suzy's address is
1331 Corona Ave. Norco, Ca 92860. It is really easy
to get to and the same off ramp from the 15 fwy
(2nd St) as the Food Connection. If you are getting
off the 15 fwy just turn the opposite direction you
would if you were going to the Food Connection.
You turn away from Hamner not towards it. When
getting off the fwy go east on 2nd street, then make
a right onto Corona. Suzy's house is on the left,
close to the end of the street. See you all there!
