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."
