These horses were originally bred as "war horses" in the days of knights and armor. As armor got heavier, bigger horses were needed and the Friesian almost became extinct. They are back and are one of the most beautiful horses in stature as well as gait. What gorgeous animals!
Just watching them becomes an emotional experience. Can you imagine what it would be like to ride one? Their manes and tails are the longest that I have seen, and I noticed that when performing on grass, their hoofs do not kick up a divot, as they land flat footed. Creatures such as these are what makes this world so special. These horses are native to the Netherlands. Have your audio on. https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/Y5XJbSqwriM?rel=0 |

Fresians are awesome horses.
Interestingly, a few years ago I saw a Fresian advertised as an endurance horse. Folly! Percherons and Shires were war horses as well. Later, workhorses. I learned to jump on a Clydesdale/Thoroughbred cross. What a spectacular girl! |

Nice form and very pretty at 3:55.
And the horse is good-looking too.
