I thought Friesians were a breed of horse. TV vet Dr. Poll talks once in a while about his Friesian horses.

I used to hear about Holstein-Friesian cattle. Are those a relative of these, or are Holstein and Friesian just different names for the same cattle?

It seems that Friesian horses are actually a breed of horse. Check out the Wikipedia page below. They are more like a lighter draft horse

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friesian_horse

The Holstein Friesian is an international breed or group of breeds of dairy cattle. It originated in the Dutch provinces of North Holland and Friesland and in Schleswig-Holstein in northern Germany. It is the dominant breed in industrial dairy farming worldwide, and is found in more than 160 countries.[1][2] It is known by many names, among them Holstein, Friesian and Black and White
