Frederik the Great is taking social media by storm. No that's not the name of the latest addition to the Royal family, Frederik is a Friesian stallion that's being rightfully dubbed the world's most handsome horse.

Though the Internet got its first wind of this real-life Black Beauty back in 2012 thanks to videos of him galloping around the plains, Frederik's popularity has been reignited by social media thanks to his striking features and enviable hair. The stallion's Facebook page has nearly 40,000 followers.

"There will NEVER be a more majestic, handsome, sexy horse on the face of the earth. Never, ever. I wish I could just touch and 'smell' him just once," wrote one of his Facebook admirers.

Another fan wrote, "When I die I want to be cremated, put in a pretty little vile necklace and hang around the neck of a beautiful horse like Frederick for a few days, so I can say I rode with the wind"

"I've watched all of his videos many times over. I hope someday they have a live video blog so we can see him in real time," said one fan, expressing all of our dreams of seeing the stallion in real-time.

We're not sold on the "smelling him just once" or the cremation part, but he sure knows how to smize into your soul:

The 15-year-old beauty is named after the 18th century Prussian monarch and lives in the Pinnacle Friesians stud farm located in the Ozark Mountains.

"I have been approached by Universal Studios and the producers of 'Gods and Kings' one was filmed in Ireland and the other in Mexico," he explained to one commenter via his owner Stacy Nazario who manages his Facebook page and apparently reads his thoughts. 

"Due to my schedule and other commitments this would have required too much time and a whole lot of stress on me. My Human didn't want that thank you for asking.”

He's so fabulous he takes the head-over-the-shoulder Facebook profile pic to a new level in this shot:
