The Friesian
Hi readers!
This week I would like to discuss the Friesian breed. Even though this breed is known to have the conformation of a light draft horse, they exhibit a fast, flashy trot and are exceptionally smooth. Standing between 14.2 and 17 hands, the Friesian breed is a large horse of black color. Rarely, a Friesian may showcase a chestnut coat, but this color is not recognized to be one of a "purebred" horse. All registered Friesians must be black in color with little to no white markings. They have long, flowing manes and tails with "feathering" on the legs and feet-- (purposely unclipped hair around lower legs). They are beautiful animals with a prideful appearance and distinct features. To learn more about this amazing breed, visit: http://www.fhana.com/
Until next week...
Happy trails,
Mary Helen

Ooooohhhh I love Fresians!! They are so big, beautiful, and powerful! That would be awesome if you posted a picture of Cash from the J3 Ranch. He's amazing.
Alyssa,
I went riding with Bailey, who owns Cash. She told me that he is actually a Percheron/Quarter Horse cross that just happens to be black. She had the whole barn fooled! He certainly resembles a Friesian!
