Our Friesians
Experience the majesty of the Friesian breed.
The Friesian Heritage
Friesians bring centuries of majesty from their days as war horses to today's modern dressage partners. Originating in Friesland, a province of the Netherlands, these horses are known for their shiny black coat, long flowing mane and tail, and high-stepping gait.
They are unique and wonderful horses that are able to learn many disciplines and truly be the horse of your dreams. Their willingness to learn, intelligence, and gentle nature make them exceptional partners for both competitive dressage and leadership development.
Partners in Leadership
At Black Silk Friesians, our horses are more than just animals; they are teachers. Their sensitivity to human emotion and body language makes them perfect mirrors for our own leadership styles.
Working with a Friesian requires clarity, intent, and trust—the very same qualities required of effective leaders. Through our programs, you'll learn to communicate non-verbally, build authentic connections, and lead with confidence.
