Did you know that the Spanish explorers introduced horses to North America in the late fifteenth century? Native Americans then helped spread them throughout the continent. The Friesian horse was originally bred as a draft horse in the Netherland. It eventually developed into a nobleman's steed because of its natural gracefulness and nimbleness. During the Middle Ages, Friesian horses were widely used to carry knights in full armour. After almost becoming extinct several times, today the Friesian has grown in numbers and popularity. The breed excels in both dressage and driving and is best known for its black color and flowing mane and tail with long untrimed hair on the lower legs.
