The Friesian breeed originates in Holland and dates back to the Middle Ages. Friesians are noted for their lustrous coats, flowing manes and tails and high action. By nature, the Friesian is a talented show horse. Armored knights of old valued them highly, as they have the strength to carry great weight into battle and still maneuver quickly. Later, its suppleness and agility made the breed much sought after for use in riding schools in France and Spain during the 15th and 16th Centuries.

For elegant carriage this breed has few rivals, and throughout Europe the royal courts used them as coach horses. Now the Friesian is enjoying a revival in Canada and the U.S., and around the world.
