Description

The Frisian is a breed of saddle and draft horse originating in Friesland, a province of the Netherlands ... hence its name! He always wears a black dress, and is for this reason nicknamed "the black pearl". This very old prestige horse has a turbulent history: alternately a war mount then a trotting racehorse, it was threatened with extinction at the end of the 19th century because it was neglected for the heavy draft horse. Now protected, the Frisian is very appreciated for the spectacle and the cinema because of its great elegance, its dress and its raised head. The Frisian measures 1.55 m to 1.65 m at the withers, it can even reach 1.75 m.
