Clueless: Dutch Friesian Horses

[BlondeTenshi]

Ok, I am totally clueless to the whole horse breeds and what they're used for. I am more comfortable riding western and I was wondering, even if Dutch Friesians are classified as Draft/Working Horses, can you ride them and if so, can they be ridden in Western style?

[BlondeTenshi]

Wow... uh... anyone? (you've had 2 weeks to answer)

Don't 100% go by my ansrew but Ifthe horse is trained in western i am sure you can but I though those kind of horses we're always trained in english!

Any horse can be ridden western.. just needs some training.. :)

Friesians are generally ridden English, and you'll see them most often in breed competitions and dressage; they also make very nice driving horses.

I am positive you could put a western saddle on it and ride it, but they are naturally BIG movers and about the farthest thing from what you would 'want' in a western horse.

Dont quote me on this but you can train any horse to ride western [that can be rode] cant you? They just need starting from scratch as if they're a youngster.
