If you’ve been waiting for that once-in-a-lifetime kind of horse, meet Nichols — an 11 year old Friesian Blood Horse Registry gelding that’s beyond stunning, and built to turn heads anywhere he goes. This guy could have came straight out of a movie. "Childhood dream horse" is the only way I can describe something that looks like him. Standing a true 16.2 hands, this gentle giant is jet black, with not a single white hair on him, and carries himself with the kind of presence that stops people in their tracks.
"Nichols" is an 11 year old Friesian Sporthorse registered with the Friesian Blood Horse Registry, sired by Douwke G (100% Friesian, FBHR-sanctioned stallion) and out of a Zippo Pine Bar-bred Quarter Horse mare, Amos Impressed Me. You get the look, the hair, the presence—and the Quarter Horse brain and usability to match. He is the kind that you could take to a show one day, trail ride the next, and ranch off of the following day.
He rides both English and Western, with smooth, cadenced gaits that feel like floating. He’s been used on a ranch, confidently handles gates, gathers cattle, and works like he’s done it his whole life. On the trail, Nichols is as solid as they come — he’ll pack anyone, anywhere, through water, over logs, and down the road without a blink. If you know Friesians, you know that their size, stature, and curiousity can often be intimidating for beginner riders. This guy has carried riders as young as **1*** year old and is safe, steady, and patient for the whole family.
Gentle doesn’t even begin to describe him. Nichols tacks up quietly, stands tied, hauls like a pro, and gets along with everything in the pasture. He’s the kind that meets you at the gate, loves attention, and will soak up all the grooming and love you want to give him.
Add in the fact that Nichols comes with clean radiographs and is completely sound, and you have a horse that truly checks every box — looks, temperament, versatility, and a pedigree full of proven names. This is a gelding that you’ll be proud to own, whether you’re in the show ring, out on the ranch, or just enjoying a quiet trail ride with your family.
