| Obtaining a Friesian Horse |
Friesian
horses may be a somewhat greater financial investment than the average
riding horse, with prices similar to those for other European
Warmbloods. A prospective buyer should become familiar with the
judging/grading system as well as with the designations of status
awarded to certain adult horses. A thorough understanding of the
registry system is especially important for buyers who are interested
in acquiring a horse for breeding.
Prospective buyers should shop around for the horse that best meets
their objectives. Sometimes the best horse is not the most
expensive one.
Authoritative information about the breed and about the worldwide registry for Friesian horses, Het Friesch Paarden-Stamboek, can be obtained at the web site of the registry’s North American affiliate, the Friesian Horse Association of North America (FHANA):

The web site includes a list of breeders and sellers who can be contacted for information or a sales list.
