action. Today, the horses are bred to be exclusively
black. Darker colors have always been dominating, but
up to the turn of the century about twenty percent were
chestnut or bay. The black color was advanced by strict
selection. The only white spot allowed on the body is
the star. The preferred build today is the lighter sporthorse
rather than the heavier draft type. The modern Friesian
is strong but slightly taller and lighter on its feet
than its coach-bred forebears. For this reason, the
Friesian has re-emerged throughout Europe as both a
champion dressage and driving performance horse. Friesian
beauty is more than skin-deep. Its easy-going temperament
makes him a great companion to riders of all ages. The
breed is honest and willing to please. But its versatility
is what brings lasting value to the owner. Whether Dad
wants to get a quality dressage mount for his daughter,
or a dependable cross-country horse for his wife, or
to take family and friends for a carriage ride, the
Friesian does it all!  Breed Organizations
The Friesian Horse Society, Inc., (FHS)
is a non-profit organization whose mission is to both
promote and preserve the beautiful Friesian horse through
strict registration standards.
FHS is the North American affiliate of the Friesian
Horse Breeding Association in Germany, Friesenpferde-Zuchtverband
e. V. (FPZV). FPZV is recognized and approved by the
Federation National (FN) in Germany and Federation Equestrian
International (FEI) -- the international organization
that controls all breeding organizations.
A respected group of German breeders were granted the
approval of the German government and FN (German National
Equestrian Federation) to become an independent registry.
The Society was renamed the "Friesian Horse Breeders'
Association" or Friesenpferde Zuchtverband, e.V.
(FPZV). In addition to being recognized and approved
by FEI (Federation Equestrian International), FPZV is
also the only Friesian registry that is both licensed
and approved by the German government and FN. FPZV maintains
stringent registration criteria and regulations based
on the original Dutch tradition. In 1993, the Friesian
Horse Society (FHS) was established as the North American
affiliate of FPZV.
Today, because of continued steady growth in number
(now up to approximately 1200 in North America) as well
as a tremendous surge in popularity, the Friesian's
survival is now virtually guaranteed. Having recently
become one of Europe's most respected performance horses,
it remains only for America to discover the versatility
and beauty of this noble and ancient breed.
