Description
Freisian horse in black and white tones. The Friesian is a horse breed developed in the Netherlands during the Middle Ages. Incredibly agile given their large size, Friesians were historically used as war horses, able to carry knights in full armor. Later used as light draft horses throughout Europe the Friesian, like many other breeds of draft horse faced extinction following the end of WWII after demand for work horses plummeted. Today, the Friesian has become popular in a number of American and European equestrian disciplines including saddle riding and dressage.
