Description
A large rural province with a long border along the sea in the Netherlands , is Friesland. Friesian horses originated in Friesland centuries ago and are bred there today. Historically, the Friesian horses were a mainstay for Friesian farmers, providing numerous services to their owners. These services included plowing the fields, driving the carriages, pulling the sleds, and serving as a strong, reliable mount. The very solid relationship between the Friesian people and the Friesian horse remains to this day; The Dutch own and breed some of the finest Friesians.
Friesians are noted by their black color (including the long, thick mane and tail) and feathered feet. The pure black color is a mandatory characteristic to achieve a top quality status. When a horse is 3 or more years old, they may be judged for a ster,pronounced star, classification. A horse who has been rated ster is considered a superlative example of the breed.
