Friesians are uniquely beautiful, 10/10 horse! They are amazing and have a unique common black pelt. They can be other colors too! This is amazing, thank you.

Do they have competitions for horses where they jump obstacles but without a rider on their back?

What I find incredibly sad about them is they used to be of all colors, then the crisis in 19th century caused the to go nearly all black cuz of inbreeding. Also that they have rather short lifespan, probably also cuz of inbreeding.

I was hoping there’d be some comment about the very erect carriage of the neck
