Meet Frederik The Great, A Stunning Friesian Stallion From The United States

He's the real life Black Beauty. And Frederik The Great, a breathtakingly beautiful Friesian stallion from the United States, may just be the world's most handsome horse. Sharing his name with the ruler of Prussia from 1740-1786, the highly acclaimed horse has a muscular build, striking black features and flowing mane.

But despite being compared to the equine version of a hot-blooded hunk, Frederick the Great is apparently a very gentle giant, with a mellow personality. "His temperament is sweet. I could put a baby right next to him and he would just be gentle with it. He's a gentle giant," Stacy Nazario said. "He's that gentle and sweet of a horse, which is ingrained in his personality, that will not change." Last year, at the height of his online popularity, Frederick the Great had a whopping 40,000 fans on Facebook. Today, he has over 72,000 and new ones are clicking that "like" button every day.
