Moriesian takes its name from the MORgan and the frIESIAN.  The blending of these two magnificent breeds produces a combination that cannot be matched.  The Moriesian, with it's refined compact body allows it to excel as a sport horse, being built for success in all disciplines.  The Moriesian is lighter boned than the Friesian, a quality sought after in a sport horse.  The balance and symmetry portrayed by this animal is truly art in motion.  The average size of 15 to 16 hands making them comfortable for most riders, a great blend between the two breeds.  The Moriesian has a proud, up headed stature, kind prominent eyes, expressive face, short back, and dense bone structure.  People admire their luxurious full thick mane and tail along with the added bonus of "feathers" (the long hair on his feet).
