Friesians are named after their homeland, the Dutch Friesland, and are one of the oldest horse breeds in Europe. They have a distinctive black coat, a magnificent mane, and a beautiful tail. Another highlight of the Friesians is the long hair on their legs. The Friesian mare from Schleich Horse Club features artistic braids in her feathering, making her a unique collector's item. Friesians are large and powerful horses, but they possess a very gentle and friendly nature.
