War Horse Video
IMO, all breeds of horses, animals and people are beautiful. Each of us is an individual.
To non-horse folks:
What sets various breeds apart is the careful breeding that has produced and continues to produce the desired qualities. The Friesans are fabulous carriage horses. Their natural high step is a trademark of the breed. When you re-view the video, notice that the mares (females) with youngsters at their sides, have less hair than some of the others. The stallions have the most and longest hair, due to testosterone. Geldings (altered males) have about the same amount of mane and tail hair as the mares. There are no hair extensions or artificial colors, here! They are always black, until the sun bleaches them out to a brownish color. When they shed the old hair, the new hair grows in black and shiny.
