Friesian, the Beautiful Romantic Horse...
Pet-Ritz    Friesian Home
From the latter part of the 20th century until the present, demand for purebreds, particularly the "Modern style" finer-boned, taller, more agile version of the Friesian increased, so breeders have bred both purebreds and a lighter-weight crossbred horse with valued characteristics.

Friesian horses are popular in both Europe and the United States, and are often used today for Dressage competition and pleasure riding.
