Wow...What gorgeous animals!!
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 prettiest horses in stature as well as gait.
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 (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 & watch in,"Full view"!
