Schleich - Friesian stallion
Friesian stallion
He looks pretty majestic, the pitch-black Friesian Stallion. Typical for his breed, there is not a single light hair in his shiny coat. With his tall stature and magnificent long mane, he cuts a great figure when pulling a carriage. But he is also extremely popular as a dressage horse.
The long hair of its mane flows luxuriantly over its back as it canters along. The proud Friesian Stallion is black as night and, with his stately size, he draws admiring looks wherever he goes. He looks especially proud out in the pasture with his cute Friesian Foal (sold separately). This big, strong horse is gentleness personified and very reliable. The Friesian Stallion prefers to stay close to people he can trust.

Friesians are exclusively black.
From the cool, northern Friesland comes a horse that is as noble as the fiery Andalusian. In fact, the Friesian is a cross between the Dutch cold-blooded and the purebred Spanish horses. The horse likes to keep its head proud and high. It also lifts its knees particularly high during its sweeping movements, which looks extremely elegant. Therefore, it is especially popular as a dressage horse. Friesians are bred as black horses, but the foals are always brown at birth. Their fur turns black only in the course of the years.
