The Friesian horse is gentle, honest, and intelligent. Its black colour, long heavy mane and conspicuous fetlocks are typical of this trusty steed. Its friendly but lively character, as well as its intelligence and eagerness to learn make it possible to use the Friesian horse for many applications.
Not only have they been used as coach horses, driving and show driving horses plus riding horses, they are also perfect for dressage.

The Friesian horse descends from the Equus robustus.
During the 16th and 17th centuries, Arabian blood was
introduced, especially through Andalusian horses from Spain.
This has given them the high knee-action, the small head and the craning neck. Because of their temperament the Friesian horse is considered warm blooded. Friesian's are a rare and beautiful bred.

We love the Friesian horse and are privileged to have all
Friesian horses.
