Horses are a needed animal in nature. Their fesse fertilizes whatever ground it touches and their use for humans has gone throughout history. The Frisian horse, in ancient times was mainly used as a draft animal; meaning it would tow a plow or carriage for humans as either transportation or to help with food products. Now it is used mainly for show, riding, and breeding. Its cool temperament and devoted loyalty toward it's owner are traits that it passes on to its foal. However, its attitude is not the only thing sought by farmers and performers. What makes the Frisian significant is it's physical appearance. The Frisian has been used and breeded for centuries as a draft horse and because of this it has developed a powerful strength. It is a perseverant horse as well as strong, making it a good choice for farmers all around the world. As a wild horse the Frisian is very sturdy and still maintains its gentle attitude, but, as with other horses, if threatened it will defend itself viciously. | |||
Horses in modern times have been demoted to mere enjoyment. Whereas in the past horses were used for many purposes. Their first use was food. The horse was hunted by men and could provide food for about a month, if good sized. They were later used as transportation and then as draft animals. Horses were most important during wars, especially in medieval times. The horse went from being food to man's best friend. They are loyal and useful and smart animals. | |||
The horse's fesse was, and still is, used for many purposes. One of the most common uses is fertilizer. Though not as common as the cow's, horse dung is more potent and, when the animal is fed the right things, lasting. Since horses eat grasses and grains, and because they digest them differently then cows, when used for fertilizing the dung not only helps plants grow taller, but spread further. This could be most helpful for farmers. Unfortunately not a lot of fertilizer is made with horse dung, at least not all by itself. | |||
