We are thrilled to introduce the newest member of the Starlit Ridge family, Illya. Born on February 9, this striking colt is the perfect embodiment of our breeding goals: exceptional temperament, modern athleticism, and the "fairytale" Friesian presence.

The Dam: Zytske Illya’s mother, Zytske, is a beautiful Dutch-registered full-papered ster mare who has always been a standout on our farm. Like all our horses, she is a beloved member of the family, hand-raised with the individual attention that defines Starlit Ridge. Zytske is known for her kind, willing nature and her powerful, ground-covering gaits. She has passed her incredible "puppy-dog" personality and correct conformation down to Illya, ensuring he is as gentle as he is beautiful.

The Sire: Tsjalle 454 Illya is sired by the legendary Tsjalle 454, the youngest stallion ever to be awarded the Preferent status. Tsjalle 454 is world-renowned for his "modern" uphill build, his aristocratic front, and his phenomenal work ethic. A Grand Champion of the Stallion Show and a powerhouse in both dressage and show driving, Tsjalle is known for producing offspring with extraordinary legwork, flexibility, and jet-black coats.

About Illya From his very first hours, Illya has shown the curiosity and "people-oriented" spirit we strive for. With a pedigree that combines the strength and elegance of Tsjalle 454 with the sweetness and quality of Zytske, Illya is a top-tier prospect for dressage, driving, or a high-end family partner.

He is currently being hand-raised in the heart of the Rio Verde Foothills, receiving daily handling to ensure he grows up to be the smart, loyal, and talented partner the Friesian breed is famous for.
