The truth is Friesians can be good jumpers, however, due to their weight and their conformation, it is dangerous for them to do so! Friesians are BEST suited to driving or to be a simple trail horse or pet. There have been cases where Friesians have done competitive jumping, but it is rare, and like I said, dangerous for the horse. They should be treated the same as a draft horse in that respect... they are too heavy.
