Few breeds are as recognizable and beloved as the intrepid Norwegian Fjord Horse. Combining the musculature of a draft horse with the nimbleness of small breeds, and with a silhouette that evokes prehistoric cave paintings, the Fjord Horse is an icon of the equestrian world.
The Fjord horse is amongst the oldest horse breeds in the world. Findings in Viking burial sites indicate that the Fjord and it's closest relatives have been domesticated and selectively bred for over 2,000 years.
Today all Fjords carry the dun dilution gene in any of the three base coat colors bay, black and chestnut. A smaller number also show influence of the creme gene, with the rarest variation of all, the "kvit" (Norwegian for white) possessing a double cream dilution. Most striking are their distinctive primitive markings - a dark dorsal stripe in the mane and tail, as well as stripes on the legs and withers.
The Fjord is truly a "Jack of all Trades". Sturdy enough for field work and forestry, it is also and excellent choice for leisure riding and competition. With it's mild temperament (you could even call them "bomb proof"), the Fjord is also a popular choice for riding schools and therapeutic riding.
These lovable companions won't falter under the toughest conditions, so whether your horse adventures take you to the icy cold of Dino Valley or the rugged trails of Mistfall, you can't go wrong with a Fjord. Click for more in depth info for this breed.
