Sorina with her horse, Black Beauty. I should tell you the story she had with her thrust worthy horse ouo

She received him as a gift when she was 19 years old. He was a little stubborn foal when he was bought to her. She visited him every day and fed him apples and took care of him. They formed a bond through out the years they were together she taught him how to jump fences, to be loyal and she tamed him to her to ride him .

When Sorina was 21 yeas old she had a small accident with Beauty. Her horse freaked out when they galloped though the woods and stumbled upon a snake. She fell off and took a hit to the head, and she remained on the ground. Beauty ran away but he brought help with him, attracting the attention of some guards he leaded them to where his mistress lain unconscious.



Black beauty:
Warm blooded Friesian black horse.

The Friesian horse has a long head, strong body, full mane and thick tail. Friesians are powerfully muscled with agile with elegant movement. They are always black but can have a small white star on the forehead.
The breed has powerful overall conformation and good bone structure, with what is sometimes called a "Baroque" body type. Friesians have long, arched necks and well-chiseled, short-eared, "Spanish type" heads. Their sloping shoulders are quite powerful. They have compact, muscular bodies with strong sloping hindquarters and a low-set tail. Their limbs are comparatively short and strong. To be accepted as breeding stock in the FPS studbook, a stallion must pass a rigorous approval process.

The Friesian horse descends from the Equus robustus. During the 16th and 17th centuries, but probably also earlier, Arabian blood was introduced, especially through Andalusian horses from Spain. This has given them the high knee-action, the small head and the craning neck.
Because of his temperament the Friesian horse is considered warm blooded. The Friesian horse has been kept free from influence of the English Thoroughbred. During the last two centuries it has been bred pure. Breeding horses and dealing in them was very important for the Friesians. The monks in the many monasteries in Friesland before the reformation did a lot of horse breeding. Through the centuries the Friesian Government has made many regulations in order to safeguard good breeding.

Armored knights of old found this horse very desirable, having the strength to carry great weight into battle and still maneuver quickly. Later, its suppleness and agility made the breed much sought after for use in riding schools in Paris and Spain during the 15th and 16th centuries. Before an elegant carriage this breed has few rivals, and throughout Europe the royal courts used them as coach horses.
