I didput it on full screen. I loved the colt running next to the mare, and later prancing around the ring.

I found another one on YT. Good Lord. The draft horses at the State Fair are wonderful to watch, too.

From Wiki:

The Friesian (also Frisian) is a horse breed originating in Friesland, Netherlands. Although the breed's conformation resembles that of a light draft horse, Friesians are graceful and nimble for their size. It is believed that during the Middle Ages, ancestors of Friesian horses were in great demand as war horses throughout continental Europe. Through the Early Middle Ages and High Middle Ages, their size enabled them to carry a knight in armor. In the Late Middle Ages, heavier, draft type animals were needed. Though the breed nearly became extinct on more than one occasion, the modern day Friesian horse is growing in numbers and popularity, used both in harness and under saddle. Most recently, the breed is being introduced to the field of dressage.

I've seen this before and love it. Thanks for sharing.

The woman sitting the horse so beautifully

I hope you aren't referring to the woman at the end. She rode like a sack of potatoes. But she might have done better if she had her feet in the stirrups and posted. Just my opinion.

Reminds me of the Lichenstein - - without the "furry" feetGrin.gif . Same grace, form, finesse, flow.

Oh, I so agree, ambivalent. I've been to a few of their performances. Positively spectacular.

The Andalusians move elegantly, too.
