Trivia
- The Friesian gets its name from the province of Friesland (also known as Frisia) in the Netherlands, where the breed originated.[12]
- 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).[13] Any other colors can only be found in Friesian Sport Horses, Jorvik Friesian, Friesian crosses and part-breeds.[14][15]
- Chestnuts can be registered into American registries, provided lineage can be traced back to a qualified stallion.[16]
- 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 G2 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.
