As armor got heavier, bigger horses were needed and the Friesian almost became extinct. They are back and are one of the most beautiful horses in stature as well as gait. What gorgeous animals!! Just watching them becomes an emotional experience. Can you imagine what it would be like to ride one? When performing on grass, their hoofs do not kick up a divot, as they land flat footed. Creatures such as these are what makes this world so special. These horses are native to the Netherlands . Have your audio on. http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/Y5XJbSqwriM?rel=0 Take care, Pat

I was reminded of a Wolfhound x Alsatian dog who used to play tag with a horse in a neighbour's field. The dog would duck under the fence if the horse got too close but they both appeared to be having a great time. The horse got going so fast that it skidded out rounding a corner and fell but got up and ran some more. They love to run but that horse did not get the exercise that it needed. It may have been a comfort for horse to have dog for a companion as there used to be coyotes checking out the chickens and and bears came for fruit in the fall. That was in the days when there was still farmland along the South arm of the Fraser River.
