The Friesian Cross is a Friesian crossbred. They are also sometimes called Friesian/x's or Friesian Sport Horses (not to be confused with Friesian Sporthorses.)
The breeding of Friesian Crosses has become increasingly popular in the United States, with various registries often being created to recognize certain specific crosses.
Some popular crosses include Friesians crossed with draft horses (primarily Percherons), Morgans (Friesian/Morgan is known as a "Moriesian"), Arabians, Andalusians (Friesian/Andalusian is known as a "Warlander"), Paints, Saddlebreds (Friesian/Saddlebred is known as a "Georgian Grande"), and Tennessee Walkers (Friesian/Tennessee Walker is known as a "Friewalker".)
[edit] Characteristics
Friesian Crosses can be any color, type, or size. They tend to maintain some of the characteristics of the Friesian (such as the temperament, long manes, and feathering.) They are popular for a variety of uses.
