Let’s refresh our mind about Friesian Horse
“There she is: fiery, strong, intelligent, and looking just a bit superior. As if she knows of her centuries-old heritage. As if she knows of the place, she has in so many hearts.”
The Friesian horse has a longstanding history; the only horse native to the Netherlands, where the Friesian has been known since as far back as the 13th century, evidence has been unearthed that in the days of Emperor Nero the Roman army also included Friesian riders.
Typical of these Black Pearls are the front, the majestic mane and feathering of the lower legs, the jet-black colour and the spacious, powerful elevated gaits. The harmonious build and the noble head, set on a lightly arched neck, complete the aristocratic and fiery appearance. Its amicable character is the key to a great utility breed.
A Friesian horse is an elegant-looking horse flaunting abundant feathers and with a proud bearing. The body is compact and strong.
A more detailed description of its characteristics runs as follows: the Friesian has a graceful head with short, pointed and lively ears.
The neck is characterised by its distinctive vertical build and is long and slightly arched.
They have strong, powerful shoulders. The sturdy legs have ample length and the fetlock joints are adorned with generous fetlocks. The feet must have black soles; stallions with white soles will not be approved for breeding. The coat colour is black with a total absence of markings. Height at withers must be a minimum of 1,58m.
The Friesian horse has increasingly developed itself as a sports horse over the past decades and in doing so has in fact returned to its origins from the agricultural interlude to be a luxuriant and aristocratic carriage horse once again.
Today, thanks to its typical functional characteristics, the Friesian horse now competes with other breeds at the highest levels of equestrian sports.
Stal De Fryslan is the first registered breeding and sales stud farm in Malaysia and probably in Asia.
Now you can own a Friesian horse in Asia and us at Stal De Frylsan will assist you to own this Black Pearl.
