Additional Info: From http://www.fhana.com/fans/ ~ "The Friesian horse
is very charismatic. His gentle and willing nature provides a strong base for
versatile training and his intelligence leads to a rewarding partnership
between horse and owner. He can be used in many different disciplines
(dressage, saddle seat, pleasure riding, trail, pleasure driving, combined
driving, etc.) as well as, exhibition and light draft work. His handsome appearance
and animated action provide a noble “presence” in any show ring, parade, or
simply in your own paddock."
