The most beautiful horse in the world is the black stallion Frederick the Great (12 photos + 1 video)

Without a doubt, it is not for nothing that this handsome horse is called the most beautiful horse in the world. His name is Frederick the Great, after the King of Prussia who was in power in the 18th century. And although the black stallion himself has not yet won any awards, his beauty certainly justifies such a pretentious name.

Frederick The Great belongs to the Friesian breed, which was developed several centuries ago in Friesland, a province in the north of the Netherlands.

During its existence, this breed was twice on the verge of extinction.

Only thanks to the Dutch breeders were they able to save the Friesian horses: and if earlier these horses were used as draft horses, today they play more of a decorative role.

However, some individual specimens are still used for harness: friezes are part of the harness of the Queen of Great Britain's carriage horses, and were used at least twice at major events (the opening of Parliament and the opening of the World Equestrian Games in The Hague).

Frederick the Great is owned by Pinnacle Friesians, located in the central United States. The horse has his own Facebook page (and more than 15 thousand friends), and also has his own blog, where new photos of Frederick and news about his life are posted.

People fascinated by his beauty have also created a separate website where photographs or artwork related to Frederick can be uploaded. We can say that Friedrich is a real star, with his photo shoots, shows and fans.
