Description[]

Gen 1 and Gen 2[]

"The Friesian Horse descends from an ancient bloodline that is thought to stretch all the way back to the ice age. The breed developed as a workhorse but became popular as a warhorse in the Middle Ages. Today the Friesian Horse is a popular and well-loved family horse with a great personality."

Generation 3[]

"Make way for the Friesian! Hailing from the Netherlands, Friesians are renowned throughout history as powerful workhorses and bold medieval warriors.

Friesians are known for their high-set necks, animated gaits, and powerful legs. With such a striking aura, they are ideal for dressage and starring on the big screen.

Jorvik has utilized Friesians as farm horses since the 19th century. However, they gained prestige when descendants of Jorvik royalty became interested in the breed. By re-establishing them as heroic steeds, Friesians in Jorvik are reminders of the gallantry of the Middle Ages.

With a Friesian as your friend, you’ll ride with the bravery of a knight and the elegance of royalty." [1]

Trivia[]

  • The Friesian gets its name from the province of Friesland (also known as Frisia) in the Netherlands, where the breed originated.[9]
  • Friesians have extremely strict breed regulations and as such, they do not come in any other color except black with minor exceptions for markings (such as a small star on the forehead, but this is undesirable and actively discouraged from being bred into lines).[10] Any other colors can only be found in Friesian Sport Horses, Jorvik Friesian, Friesian crosses and part-breeds.[11][12]
    • In some extremely rare instances, chestnuts can be registered into American registries (provided lineage can be traced back to a qualified stallion) though this is undesirable, is actively discouraged from being bred into pure lines, and is usually a result of heavy inbreeding due to such a small gene pool.[13]
  • Friesians were the first horses to be given an updated model (Gen 2) and new animations in SSO.
  • When Frida Frog was added to the game on May 1st, 2019, there was a bug with Friesians. If the player equipped leg wraps on them, they would turn invisible, and only their manes and tails would show. This has since been fixed.
  • The Jorvik Friesian is technically a remodel of the Friesian Horses and the Friesian Sport Horses in the Gen 3 art style. The SSO team considers the Jorvik Friesian an entirely new crossbreed of the Friesian Horse.
