The statue was a gift af the Koopmans Royal Flourfactory to celebrate there 100 years anniversary, and at the same time celebrate the 100 years anniversary of the Friesian stud registry book. At the base it says: In Frisian: Oerkurven kriich mei digerens bimongen Yn it ûnleech soms mar nra fan 't plak forkrongen. Sjuch Fries en fremdling hjir jimm' niget oan Sa'n trou sa'n faesje, sokke sterke gongen. Translated in Dutch it says: Hoe ooit belaagd, zij adel bleef bewaard Kracht bleef aan moed en energie gepaard. Gij, Fries en vreemdeling aanschouw dit wonder Die sterke gang, die trouw, die tomeloze vaart. Translates in English: Ones beset, she kept her nobility Strength remained paired to courage and energy. You, Frisian and alien contemplates this wonder That strong pace, that faithfullness, that unbridled speed.
