How many minis = One Friesian?

Friesian Bliss by mrmoore on Flickr

The woman from whom I bought my Percheron Toby (Actually, I did a straight trade—one super-model thoroughbred mare for one behemoth draft) has the most stunningly handsome Friesian stallion at home. In fact, she wanted my thoroughbred for her breeding program. Prior to having the Friesian, she had an entire herd of minis. When she found this exquisite Friesian stallion for sale, she, being a trader by nature, proposed an exchange with the owner of said Friesian stallion. A herd of minis for one Friesian stallion!

And ... that's how she came to have her very own Friesian horse.
