YOU CAN READ EVERYTHING EVER PUBLISHED ON FRIESIANS ON WIKIPEDIA OR WHERE EVER YOU FIND ON INTERNET YOURSELVES. I WILL NOT BE REPEATING THIS STANDARD INFORMATION HERE.
THE SIMPLE FACTS ARE:
- THEY ARE GORGEOUS LOOKING AND MOVING HORSES. CLEVER,LOYAL AND VERY ATTACHABLE TO ONE PERSON - THEIR OWNER.
-THEY ARE VERY PAIN STOIC - CAN SUFFER IN SILENCE AND NOT SHOW YOU ANYTHING. YOU HAVE TO BE TUNED AND IN REAL LOVING CONNECTION WITH YOUR FRIESIAN BOY OR GIRL TO TRULY HEAR WHAT HE WANTS OR NEEDS.
-THEY CAN WITHSTAND A LOT OF SPOILING AND PAMPERING AND STILL BE NICE AND QUITE WHEN YOU GO FOR A RIDE.WILL NOT BE SPOOKY OR NASTY.
-THEY DO NOT BOLT, THEY CAN STRESS AND JUMP A BIT,BUT GENERALLY WILL PUT HIS HEAD RIGHT UP AND LOOK - ASSESS THE SITUATION, THAN QUICKLY DECIDE THAT IS ALL OK AND PASS BY IT.
-THEY LOVE WATER AND PLAYING WITH EVERYTHING THEY CAN PUT THEIR NOSE OR FOOT ON.
-THEY ARE HARDY ANIMALS - NEED ROUGHAGE (READ HAY) AND NO SPECIAL FEEDS, LIKE POISONED PELLETS OR GRAIN IN BAGS.THEY ARE GOOD DOERS AND WILL DO GREAT ON SIMPLE OATEN HAY. MINE LOVE WHEATEN AND BARELY HAY,AS THOSE ARE SWEETER AND NICER TO EAT.
-THEY DO NOT NEED RUGS - EVER. THEIR NATURE MADE BODY SYSTEM GIVES THEM ALL THE PROTECTION FROM THE ELEMENTS THEY NEED. I SEEN THEM ON 50DEGREE HEAT STAYING ON PLAIN SUN,RIGHT NEXT TO THE WATER TROUGH. OR IN THE MINUS TEMPERATURES GRAZING SOMETHING TROUGH THE SNOW,COVERED WITH IT..
-THEY NEED TO HAVE FREEDOM - PLACE TO RUN AND ENJOY - NOT LOCKED UP IN MAN INVENTED STABLE AND TRAIN TO MADNESS IN DRESSAGE OR WHATEVER ELSE EVER THOUGHT OF..
-THEY ARE VERY SOFT MOUTHED AND RESPOND GREAT ON BITLESS BRIDLES. THIS CAN GIVE YOU ABSOLUTELY REAL PLEASURE AND CONNECTION WITH YOUR BOY/GIRL. AND YOU NEVER HURT HIM/HER AS YOU WILL NOT HAVE WHAT TO YANK ON TO..:) OR HOLD ON TO.
