What are Khimaira Friesians?
Khimaira Friesians are a "normal" friesian breed with all characteristics of a friesian and a average height from 15 to 17 hands, but even 18 hands can occur. The first born Khimaira was mistaked for a chimera horse. But a genetic test showed otherwise, there wasn't a second DNA but a complete new and unknown gen. Because this gen makes the friesian look like a chimera it was named khimaira. khimaira doesn't produce a complete new dna coat and therefor it can only lighten or darken the base coat of the horse. Till now only the paint khimaira is known that makes the khimaira coloration looks like tobiano, overo, sabino or splash. But we believe that there will be more khimaira variations out there and we still try to breed them. Appaloosas are not known till now, but we have some great friesian mixed horses with appaloosa patterns, so we are sure to deliver them to you in a short amount of time.

Teton is quite the adventurous stallion. Reenactment horse by day, and explorer by night, he and his owner, Inteus, will often explore the woods outside his family’s ranch, Mystic Crystal Ranch. “Who needs sleep,” they both think, “when you can live on the thrill of adventure!” But just because they’re two adventurous souls doesn’t mean that they don’t appreciate their jobs during the day. They reenact the Medieval times of knights’ battles. Teton will get dressed up in all his flowing horse attire, and Inteus will put on all the clanking armor. Many horses would be scared of a lumbering human bedecked in noisy, heavy metal plates, but two things led to Teton’s tolerance for this. The first, of course, is that he became accustomed to it at a young age, like any horse should. Of course, his outstanding bravery also accounts for this as well. He likes to take risks, and won’t ever cut corners, even if everyone else is doing it. It’s always the hard and steady path for him, and it suits him well. Though he can be a smart horse (in the sense of street smarts), he often forgets to think, so to speak, and it’s up to Inteus to keep him in line. Unfortunately, Inteus isn’t the most disciplined person out there either, so quite a few of their adventures often end up with a whole load of trouble. They’re practically inseparable. Though Teton is regarded by anyone who knows him personally as a very extroverted and friendly horse, he rarely gains friends that he keeps for a long time. His crazy and quirky nature drives away most. The friends he does keep, however, he is very loyal to, and they really “get” him. Teton is ever the optimist, so much that he’ll often refuse to look at the risks and the bad parts of the situation at hand. He’s quite stubborn, to many people, and even to himself, refusing to back down on a ridiculous promise he made to himself a year ago. He’ll also always disagree with you, unless you’re one of the few people he respects enough to go along with your ideas. This is why only Inteus will ride him, most of the time.

“Long time, no see, huh?” I turned around to see a familiar face.
“Kiefer.” An old high school friend, if you could call him that. He was the kind of kid who threw everyone else under the bus just to be in the teacher’s good graces. Little did those teachers know, he was completely rotten to his classmates behind their backs.
“Well, should we get to work?” I wouldn’t let him get the best of me, I’d be polite and professional. I rifled through my bag until I pulled out all my armor, and took a swig of water before putting on my armor. I mounted Teton, who was now pawing the ground with excitement and pent-up energy, just as people started spilling in through the gates. Kiefer did the same with his mare. Once we had enough people outside the arena, we would start. Our blunt “swords” were clutched in our hands, the other hand holding a shield, emblazoned with our lords' crests.
“Let the joust commence!” an announcer spoke through a microphone. Kiefer and I sped past each other, trying to take a stab at each other. I blocked his attack with my shield, and he did the same, not missing a beat. I slowed Teton around, preparing for another go. I leaned forward, prepared to jab my sword at Kiefer’s breastplate and knock him off his horse. I shoved the sword forward with agility, so he slid to the left of his saddle before regaining control. His attack towards me hit the fence between us instead, and he was quickly disarmed, his sword clattering to the ground. I smirked at him, needing to win more than ever. Now, without the distraction that his sword posed, he’d be more focused on staying on his horse than ever. I had to think quickly.
This was the time that I could finish him, once and for all. Revenge for all the times he got me in trouble. Fulfillment of every person’s wish from Red River High. Teton felt my excitement, and together, our energy combined with a power greater than we had ever felt before. With one swift blow to the center of his breastplate, Kiefer slid off his Friesian and hit the ground with a thud. The crowd cheered, and I dismounted Teton, and we both took a bow. Though that wasn’t really historically accurate, the crowd loved it anyways.
“Nice job out there,” I said sarcastically. He glared at me, and said nothing, instead choosing to look down at the dirt that billowed out from his shoe with every step he took, pacing around the barn. A long, dramatic silence followed.
Finally, he spoke. “I suppose you and your horse have taught me what it’s like to lose.” I wasn’t sure if he was being sarcastic or serious. But he continued, “All throughout my life, I’ve always taken the easy way out of things, just to get the satisfaction of winning, so to speak. But what good is ‘winning’ if you don’t earn it?”
I stared at him a moment, not sure if this was really the Kiefer I knew. It really wasn’t. “In life, I guess you win some and you lose some. But in order to beat the game of life, you have to give it your all, and get out and do something truly remarkable.” I let my words soak in. “But for now,” I smiled, “Let’s just get something to eat!” Teton snorted in agreement, and Kiefer and I promised to get something for him, too. Who knew that Teton could bring people together?

The art medium I chose to do was felting. This is achieved when you take unspun wool and poke it with a special needle. This needle has barbs in it, which will catch the fibers, and interlock their scales. I spent about 5 hours doing all the tiny details, like the removable halter and frame overo, among others. And I poked myself so many times, but I’m quite satisfied with him! I think that it’s the best felting work I’ve ever done.
