Home > Friesian Breed
We love the Friesian horse for its elegance, beauty, and temperament.
There are some important topics all Friesian horse owners should learn about to ensure the health and well-being of your herd and the Friesian breed:
As the Friesian breed nearly went extinct in the early 20th century, it is important to learn about In-Breeding, the In-Breeding Coefficient, and how to read your horses’ registry papers as you build your herd and select stallions for your mares.
Friesians who are presented at inspections are graded for their quality, conformation, and sport. Predicates are awarded both based on inspection and performance testing as well as the quality of a horse’s offspring.
We highly recommend all Friesian horse owners become members of FHANA as well as visit and study the many pages of information, tool,s and resources available on the FHANA website: www.fhana.com
