The Friesian breed is native to the province of Friesland in the northern Netherlands and one of the oldest domesticated breeds in Europe. The breed is equally skilled at multi-level dressage, trotting, and driving, singly or combined. Its high step and outstanding natural movement are the result of its long being favored by breeders throughout Northern Europe. The tail and mane of the Friesian is never cut and often reaches the ground.
