DAREDEVIL IS NOT the horse's name. If you read the book you'll see that the horseman's horse is never named.
Daredevil was the name of the horse of Brom Bone. In the story Brom Bone boasts that he and Daredevil raced the horsemen one night. At the end of the book it is never made clear in the book that the HH was Brom Bone or not.
That being said, you can't claim that the Horsemen's horse is Daredevil because their is no solid proof of it.
It is commonly believed that the horse was named Daredevil. For example: in the movie by Tim Burton the horsemen's horse was called Daredevil. But if you are one of the few people smart enough to read the original story by Washington Irving you'll know that the horse has no name.
The Hessians horse is most definitely not a Friesian, for it has no feathering on its' hooves and is a medium/small built, hence smaller than a friesian. No one really knows what breed of horse DareDevil was; but the hessian tells of his father being a pitch black Arabian stallion.
In the movie SleepyHollow, by Tim Burton, the Hessians horse, DareDevil, was played by two Spanish Horses, most likely Andalusians, judging from their manes/tails, and amazing conformation and head carriage.
It was created by Washington Irving who also coined that original time traveler, Rip Van Winkle. By the way Winkel means chevron in German ( and possibly Dutch) and it is interesting that Herr Van Winkle slept through the Revolutionary War!

The headless horseman in Irish folklore is known as the Dullahan. This figure is often depicted riding a black horse while carrying their own severed head, which they use as a lantern to search for souls. The appearance of the Dullahan is considered an omen of death in Irish mythology.
From April Reeves, Horsemans U.com: The left side is called the 'near' side, while the right side is called the 'off' side.The left side of a horse is often referred to as the near side, the right side is the off side.
