Artist's Comments

Frisian stallion.

Wanted to try something new, only used penpressure opacity, only blues and purples (except for the eye) and gave myself 3 hours to finnish it.
Used picture reference from the owner :) .

God, he's a handsome boy. I can't wait to own a Friesian. :heart: We're going to be shopping for a couple pretty soon.

This is gorgeous. I love how you brought out the cool black of the Friesian's coat with the colors you chose.

Question, though...I've only ridden Western for the past 21 years, so I'm a bit clueless on English tack. I know this is a dressage bridle, but does it have two bits?

Two bits yes, it's for higher level dressage. A weymouth curb bit and a thin snaffle.

Wou will ride western with the friesians too? They carry their head so high, can't imagine them being any good at it =P .
I don't really like friesians myself though. Or dressage, or black horses.... :giggle:

I've never heard of using two bits before...It's kinda neat and strange at the same time. :XD:

Actually, we'll be using them for medieval reenactments, so we'll be using period-correct saddles and an Aussie stock saddle on them. And I don't think they'd be good at most Western activities, either. :giggle:

I never had much experience with them until I moved to California. I boarded my horse across the street from the Spearmint Rhino ranch that breeds top of the line imported Friesians, so I got to be around them. They kinda remind me of giant black labs. It'll be interesting owning one since the only breeds that I've ever owned are mustangs and a Quarterhorse
