The Friesian horse is the oldest indigenous breed of horse in the Netherlands and is also called the "Black Pearl of Friesland."
A Friesian is almost always all black; with no markings. Occasionally a very rare brown and even rarer gray variant occurs. These colors, however, are not accepted in the studbook.
Features:
The Friesian horse is a graceful looking horse with lots of mane and a proud attitude. The body is compact and strong; the mane is long, full and wavy as is the tail. The Friesian has a fine head with pointed and agile ears. The shoulders are powerfully developed. Rather short, but firm, long hairy and with a fetlock.
The Friesian is friendly, lively, tame, intelligent, eager to learn and loyal. Also, the Friesian horse has a cool head, making it very suitable for recreational riding and trail rides. The breed is a good worker and suitable for dressage because of its high knee action and reliable behavior. The image of the Friesian harness horse is also a popular.
Look-a-likes:
For the "Pearl of Friesland," we chose the furry variety with the deepest black color possible. He is tough and has a high cuddliness level.
If your preference is for a smooth and not furry Falabellas, you can also choose the Black.
