Friesians can make OK lower level show jumpers, but they are not designed nor bred to jump. Friesians were originally bred to pull carriages, plow fields, and on occasion to carry a night into battle if needed. Modern Friesians are now also bred for Classical Dressage competitions.
What else can I help you with?
Can friesan horses make good jumpers?
As a general rule, no. Friesian were originally bred to pull carriages and then to carry knights into battle. They are more suited to harness and flatwork. However to keep them fit you can ask them to go over low jumps.
Are paint horses popular?
In my opinion, paint horses are quite common horses, which does in fact make them a tad popular. Paint horses are great, they have a beautiful coat. But there are plenty of other popular horse out there to! Liek the friesian!
You can't get Chestnut friesian horses can you?
I just wanted to add information about equine color genetics so you can better understand horse color. Horses have two base colors, Black and Red. Black is represented by an E which is dominate and Red is represented by an e which is recessive.A black friesian can have 1 of 2 pairs, either EE (two black genes) or Ee (a black and red gene). If you breed two horses together that bother have Ee, you can get EE Ee or ee. So you'll have a 25% of black coat with only black gene, 50% of black coat but carries the red gene, and 25% of a chestnut coat that doesn't carry any black.>>E eE EE Eee Ee eeAnd Yes because a friesian has a black base they can also come in Bay, which attaches itself to the E gene. As far as I know Black is the only coat color that is accepted by the registry so that's what breeders breed for.--A chestnut Friesian may be produced if both parents carry the chestnut gene, but it is rare. These horses sometimes go by the name "fox or foxy friesian." Before the 20th century, Friesians used to be all colours but over the years, the registry chose to select for only black coats. The chestnut gene is recessive, meaning it gets carried along with the dominant black gene, but only shows up every once in a while, when both parents carry the chestnut gene and the odds turn out right. However, the Dutch registry the KFPS continues to select only for black coats, so chestnut foals are not usually eligible for full registration and breeding privileges within the registry.--If you are talking about the breed Friesian in real-life, then no. The friesian can only be black, or else it it not considered a friesian. I suppose if for some reason, both parents carried the albino gene, the friesian would be albino but that is extremely unlikely.--ACTUALLY the above statement is FALSE. A Friesian in REAL-LIFE can also be BAY. Or even grey but they are not accepted in the FHANA.--I would like to know what in the first statement make this false information. The question was in regard to a Chestnut Fresian, not bay or grey... Please clarify. Thank you!---To the third answer - albinism simply does not exist in horses. Dominant White and OLWS (Overo Lethal White Syndrome) horses are the closest you'll get, which do not exist in Friesians.Also to get back on topic, chestnut does occur in Friesians. They are accepted in the FHANA rarely but their offspring cannot be registered.

Why do horses make good pets?
Horses do not make good pets. They are large, expensive to keep and when you go out of town, you have to have someone watch them. Horses are beast of burden and are excellent for showing & riding. But they are not good pets. Dogs and cats are good pets. Treating your horse like a pet and not a horse will result in a horse with problems.

Can you make lots of money by Training horses?
The biggest thing it depends on is how good at training horses you are. If you are looking to raise some extra side money, you could probably make pretty good money if you are good at it (that means experience, too), advertise your help, and live around an area with lots of horse owners. If you are looking at training horses as a career, I wouldn't say it is the most stable job. Some people make lots of money on it and become quite popular, and some don't make enough to support a family. It all depends on how good you are with people and horses alike. :)
Do horses actually trust humans?
A good majority of horses do trust humans. These are horses that are treated fairly and have owners who make themselves the 'herd leader' and can prove that they will be fair, just, and protective of the horse. However not all horses will trust humans and not all humans are to be trusted, horses instinctively know this.
What are Thoroughbreds mainly used for?

Is caramel corn okay for horses to eat?
No, caramel corn is not a good thing for horses to eat. Corn is full of starch which breaks down into sugar and can make horses hyper from too many excess calories. Carmel is also more sugar and doesn't do anything good for the horse. If you wish to feed your horse a treat you can make healthier yet tasty treats at home or buy some made specifically for horses.
