The Friesian horse is noted for its lovable character, intelligence and easy temperament. Friesians are most recognizable by their jet- black coats, fluid motion, knee and hock action, long manes and feathering around their feet. Most Friesians are between 15.2 hh and 16.3 hh and are always black. Whilst white markings anywhere are not permitted and will not allow a horse into the main Studbook, a small star is permitted.

There is a main studbook for classification of the majority of the breeding stock. There is a ‘star registry’ for mares and geldings of a very high quality and for mares that are close to flawless there is ‘model registry’, which is not only based on conformation and movement, but also on performance. About 25 % to 30 % of mares of exceptional conformation and movement are awarded entrance onto the ‘star registry’.
