Jason Tice has been the Executive Director for the Friesian Horse Association North America (FHANA) for more than 13 years. He came to FHANA based on his experience with membership management and event planning. Previously, he did event planning for the senior PGA tour on events like the Allianz Championship and the senior LPGA tour on events such as the HyVee classic. He has watched the Friesian breed grow in popularity in North America, especially in the world of sport and with the Amish community. Not only can this breed compete at high levels of dressage and driving, but now it is having success in western dressage. Originally from Ames, IA, and a graduate of Iowa State University, his interest in horses started when he met his wife Jessica. They currently have a 22-year-old Arabian that they raised from a baby and an off-track Thoroughbred.

Additional Information: We featured the Friesian breed in the August 2020 issue of Horse Illustrated, but for those who are subscribed, you’ll get to see another breed profile in the upcoming January/February issue of Horse Illustrated.
