Red colored Friesian Horse?

Question

I saw a picture of a mahogany bay colored friesian horse, the only one of his color. I have looked all over for a website with this horse on it and I can't find anything!! This was an actual horse, that performed in shows, not a photoshopped horse. Can anyone help me find this beautiful friesian?

Answer 1

I can't tell you where to find the specific horse you saw, but I am aware of the red coloring in Friesians. They happen to be my favorite breed. They are bred for pure black with an occasion small white star being acceptable. With all breeding sometimes an unfavorable trait comes through and you have a "reddish," red dun, or liver chestnut Friesian foal. There is a well known one named Fire Magic so perhaps that's the one you came across. He's a stallion working with the Magical World of Dancing Horses. Though beautiful and rare it's usually not bred for or desired just like dwarfism that pops up from time to time with Friesians too. Hope that helps. Check the link and see if that's him

Answer 2

The first answer gives you the horse you saw, but what a lot of people don't realise that Friesians used to come in bay etc and then when they set up the stud book they decided that the breed standard would include they had to be black.

Answer 3

That would be Fire Magic owned by Dianne Olds Rossi. I used to work at the arena he was kept at.
