Friesians tend to range in a range of 15hh-17hh. (Each hand = 4 inches)
Well Friesians originated in the Netherlands (Friesland) but now they are found all over the world.

No they cannot. Warlanders are simply just a cross between Friesians and Andalusians, neither of which carry the pinto genes. You will find solids and diluted colors but not patterns.

Yes, all Friesians are black. I do not think there are any Friesians with any markings on record. this is correct however there used to be chestnut freisians but selective breeding led to all freisians being the beautiful rich black colour we know now
Friesians are fairly uniform in color with over 99% being born black, and that is the only color the registry will allow/ accept. However there is a tiny portion of the population that is born chestnut (red), these horses are banned from being registered as their color is not allowed. No other color is found in the breed..
They are usually used in dressage.
Friesians have black coats because they were bred to be black. The horses were used in the middle and high ages as war horses. The horses are known to be very graceful.
