Welcome to the online home of the Great Lakes Friesian Horse Association!

The Great Lakes Friesian Horse Association members all share a common interest and love of the Friesian horse. Our members are mainly from Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, Indiana and Minnesota. However, our members reach as far away as California, Texas to the east coast, and we welcome everyone to our club. The Great Lakes Friesian Horse Club (GLFHA) is recognized as a Chapter affiliated with the Friesian Horse Association of North America (FHANA), which is the official North American representative of the purebred Dutch Friesian Registry, the Friesch Paarden-Stamboek (FPS).

Our mission is, to promote the purebred Dutch Friesian breed. As members of the Great Lakes Friesian Horse Association, we advocate sharing knowledge, offering educational clinics, breeding, showing, and enjoying the breed. Our Chapter offers two types of membership, Full Member regular voting and Associate member non-voting. Please see the Membership page for more details.
