Description
"Make way for the Friesian! Hailing from the Netherlands, Friesians are renowned throughout history as powerful workhorses and bold medieval warriors.
Friesians are known for their high-set necks, animated gaits, and powerful legs. With such a striking aura, they are ideal for dressage and starring on the big screen.
Jorvik has utilized Friesians as farm horses since the 19th century. However, they gained prestige when descendants of Jorvik royalty became interested in the breed. By re-establishing them as heroic steeds, Friesians in Jorvik are reminders of the gallantry of the Middle Ages.
With a Friesian as your friend, you’ll ride with the bravery of a knight and the elegance of royalty."
Unique Features
The Extended Trot
Note: The horse must reach level 7 to perform this gait.
While most breeds in SSO only have five gaits, the G3 Friesian Sport Horse has six. This special gait is called the "Extended Trot". To perform the extended trot, the horse must be walking or trotting. The player then must hold down the 'Shift' key and then simultaneously hit either the up arrow or the 'W' key. The G3 Friesian will then begin to perform an extended trot. During the extended trot, the horse cannot move to a faster gait or jump. To stop performing the extended trot, simply slow your horse down like you would with any other.
The Canter Pirouette
Note: The horse must reach level 7 to perform this move.
The G3 Friesian Sport Horse can perform a special move called the Canter Pirouette. The animation can be activated by pressing the spacebar, but only when standing still, otherwise the horse will jump instead of performing the move.

Trivia
- The Friesian sport horse is technically a crossbreed, as it is a mix of a purebred Friesian and a Warmblood.[7]
- Unlike purebred Friesians, which can only come in black (and in some rare cases, chestnut), FSH's can come in any color.[8][7]
- The Gen 3 FSH share their model with the Gen 3 Friesian Horse.
- The Gen 3 FSH is the first generation of FSH to have feathering despite its real-life counterpart rarely, if ever, having such significant feathers.
- The Gen 3 FSH is one of the only breeds to not have had a dedicated release of many coat variations at once, instead being released incrementally.
- The Jorvik Friesian was originally intended to be an update for both the G2 Friesian and G2 Friesian Sport Horse, but feedback on the breed led to the Friesian and FSH being updated again with a focus on a "regal and elegant" personality.[9][10] The Jorvik Friesian is considered to be a separate crossbreed, unique to the island, that has a more "quirky" personality compared to the Friesian.[11]
