An age-old Dutch horse breed
Did you know that Fryske Hynders, better known as Friesian horses, have been a popular breed for over 3000 years? Even the Romans took advantage of this beautiful horse. Fryske horses are the oldest native breed in the Netherlands and that is not without reason. In Friesland they are mainly put for a ride: a kind of cart for transporting people. But due to their friendly and inquisitive nature, these animals are also extremely suitable for dressage. It is not a show jumper, because this is not good for the joints of the Hynders. We at Stal Okkema can tell you everything about this breed. Our stable has been lovingly raising and training these horses for over 20 years and you can also come to us for breeding.
What are the characteristics of this breed?
Fryske Hynders are friendly, loyal, intelligent and eager to learn horses. These Hynders are willing workers who keep their heads cool, so you can take them outside for excellent rides. In addition, the Fryske horse has a graceful, proud posture and that combined with its character makes the animal also suitable for dressage. A few characteristics of the Friesian horse are:
- The height is at least 1.54 meters (mares) and 1.56 meters for stallions
- The coat is jet black, slight markings may be allowed in some cases
- A full, wavy tail and mane
- The head is fine and the ears are short and pointed
- Strongly developed shoulders and short, powerful legs
To be included in the studbook, at least the above must be met.
