Andulusians are pretty horses, but they have small thin legs and no feathers, their neck is similar to friesians but thats about it.
Friesians cost so much because most are imported from the netherlands. There are only 20 approved breeding stallions in the US as opposed to 90 in the netherlands. There are about 30,000 registered (FPS registered) friesians worldwide and only about 2000 in the US. They are pretty rare here.
The Friesian horse originates from ?Friesland? (?Fryslan? in the Friesian language), one of the eleven provinces of the Netherlands, The Friesian horse is the only horse native the Netherlands.
the stats I posted come from the FPS, the dutch registry, which is the original friesian registry.
