The KFPS Royal Friesian Horse

Sent by  DAVID HILL :
These horses were originally bred as "war horses" in the days of knights and armor. As armour got heavier, bigger horses were needed and the Friesians almost became extinct. They are back and are one of the prettiest horses in stature as well as gait. What gorgeous animals! Just watching them becomes an emotional experience. Can you imagine what it would be like to ride one?

Their manes and tails are the longest that I have seen and I noticed that when performing on grass, their hoofs do not kick up a divot (they land flat footed). Creatures such as these are what makes this world so special. These horses are native to the Netherlands.
