Best Answer

The Friesian horse originates from the province of Friesland and the Frisian islands in the north of the Netherlands. It was thought to have been originally bred by farmers, but later went on to become a widespread and popular medieval warhorse, nobleman's mount, trotting horse, and carriage horse, influencing many of the modern European breeds.
