With a minor quibble: There is no such thing as a single Friesian gene. There are many genes that produce the Friesian appearance.

I can't understand why a person would buy a mutt Friesian, then boast of the Friesian heritage. The reason that Friesians are so special is the breeding heritage that is so carefully nurtured by FPS and FHANA. Maybe this is like buying a fake designer purse and trying to pass it off as real.

As far as price, the original purchase price is one of the least expensive parts of horse ownership.
