Friesian horses for Sale? How to Pick the Right One
So you’ve found some Friesian horses for sale, and you want to pick one, or a few, up. But before you go charging out the door to look for your new horses, there are a few things that you’ll want to check on first.
To begin with, is it a Friesian that you want?
Friesians are from the Friesland Province of the Netherlands, and whose ancestors were often used as war horses in Europe during the Middle Ages due to their grace and nimbleness. Friesians have inherited these attributes from their ancestors, making them a perfect match to the sport of dressage.
Other attributes that make them a good choice for dressage are their power, appearance, and excellent body control. That they are highly intelligent is obviously beneficial as well.
Because of their heavy, muscular physique, Friesians do not work well for racing. However, their strength and bulk are a good fit as a carriage horse.
Friesians are used as show horses as well, often leaving their mane, tail, and feather (the hair on the lower legs) untrimmed, allowing them to grow out long and thick. Their fur is typically black in color, though in very rare cases is chestnut. One look at a strong Friesian and you’ll quickly appreciate their value as the horse of choice for use in films.
Overall, a Friesian is a good all-around horse, whatever your needs. They are also well-mannered, comparatively, making them an excellent choice as a family horse.
By this point, you should have a pretty good idea whether a Friesian is the horse you want to buy. When you’re ready to start shopping around, riding instructors can often give you good advice on where to find a good dealer. But if your local horse store isn’t working out for you, Full Spectrum Friesian Stables is worth a look.
