Originating from the Netherlands, Friesian horses are a horse breed that lightly resembles a draft horse, with more athleticism and prowess for sport horse disciplines. They’re often depicted in Friesian Horse logo design concepts due to their striking appearance with their jet-black color, graceful and agile action, thick manes and tails, and the feather on their legs. Their fast and nimble action made them important horses during wars in the Middle Ages. Friesian horses were recognized as muscular yet agile horses, therefore, they became the breed most useful for carrying a knight in armor and even today they can be seen in most major Hollywood productions that deal with knights on horseback that can be used as Friesian Horse logo design inspirations.
Even though Friesian horses have been on the verge of extinction on several occasions throughout history, they’re thriving in popularity today. After the many battles, one of the breeds that Friesian horses were crossbred with were Andalusian horses, which resulted in lighter horses suitable as urban carriage horses. Today, the Friesian x Andalusian is called a Warlander and closely resembles a pure Friesian, yet they come in many colors such as buckskin, bay and grey. That is why Friesian Horse logo design concepts are gaining in popularity.

Friesan horses are predominantly used as harness horses in carriage driving and combined driving, but are rapidly gaining popularity for dressage, working equitation, western dressage and liberty horsemanship. Their diversity is why Friesian Horse logo design concepts are diverse and flexible.
Harness is a term that describes animals such as horses that hitch equines to a wagon, carriage, sleigh, or other means of transportation by a harness. Instead of being used as one of the primary means of transportation, a harness horse in today’s society is mostly used for pleasure driving and competition.
Horseback riding or equestrianism is a broad term used to describe the use of horses. This term includes everything from competitive horseback riding to horseback riding for work purposes, recreational purposes, etc. Today, Friesian horses are being introduced to the discipline of working equitation, western dressage and some have been highly successful at the FEI levels of Dressage.
Dressage is one of the most popular fields in the equestrian world, with dressage competitions being held every four years at the Olympic games. At such competitions, horses are expected to perform a series of movements similar to that of a ballet dancer. The horse breeds that participate in dressage must have athletic ability, a muscular body agile and robust enough for the movements performed, and a willingness to perform in front of big audiences. Such criteria make it vital that the confidence of the horse shines through performance. Through well-developed training methods, the horse is expected to exceed as a riding horse by smoothly and gracefully responding to the rider’s minimal aids.
Our artists will ask whether you would prefer the build of a modern sport type Friesian or a traditional Friesian. We will also ask about the vision behind your business and your potential audience in order to create a Friesian Horse logo design that will attract your customers. Friesian Horse logo design concepts look beautiful in both our silhouette (solid filled logos) and our unique line art style of vector art. The muscular body type of Friesian horses, coupled with their thick, long manes and tails and the feathers on their legs give them a dramatic and unique look.
