I adore my Friesian, Augustyn more than words can describe. We are learning dressage together & having a blast! He’s a willing partner & eager to please. We also dabble with obstacles & hacking out. Looking forward to an lifetime together as we are coming up on our 1 year anniversary & his 6th birthday next month.
This is an incredible breed that’s so versatile for a variety of purposes.
