I really must stop starting threads and then forgetting about them. How rude! Sorry. 
I've never sat on a Friesians either, but I admire them for their looks. So, no offense taken Pixel, etc. And I agree, the one in the advert is pretty pricey, but the place that's selling it very close to my end of the world, so I found their website tempting - in a non serious way. 
Also saw an advert for another Friesian horse, in Scotland too, for half the price a couple of days ago. I did mention I wasn't serious, didn't I? 
Alpinepony - you can really save that much by going to the studs in Europe? Wow. Not that I'm serious, but that's worth noting considers ways of twisting DH arm and wallet if a winning lottery ticket every comes my way.
I think, to be honest, my lardy generous bottom would be better suited to a cob, or similar sturdy creature. I had a TBxID cross previously and she was fabulous, sturdy and very sane.
I think Arabs are lovely, but never been tempted (my aunt had several and they were all slightly batty) and same opinion of thoroughbreds (same aunt had TB - also batty, bit of a recurring them there 
). So maybe the aunt's choice taste in nut job horses with a spirited personality than the breeds, to be fair.
