Friesian horse
The Friesian horse is a breed of horse from Frisia, large and always black in colour. They range between 15 and 17 hh. Although originally bred as a draft horse, it can be ridden, and during the Middle Ages, Friesian horses were in great demand throughout Europe since their size enabled them to carry a knight in full armour. They are still used today as dressage horses.
