Norwegian Fjord
Also Known By: Fjord, Norges Fjordhest (Norwegian),
Fjording, Nordbag, Nordfjord, Northern Dun,
Norwegian Dun, Norwegian Pony, Vestland,
West Norway, West Norwegian
The Norwegian Fjord (pronounced Fee-ord)
Horse is Norway's oldest horse breed. It
is estimated that the original Fjords migrated
to Norway and the Scandinavian peninsula
over 4,000 years ago and they were domesticated
about 2,000 B.C. They have been selectively
bred in Norway for over 2,000 years and the
first directed selection program began in
the mid-1880's. The original Norwegian Fjord
varied in color and averaged 12.1 hands in
size. Selection has increased the height
to 13 to 14.1 hands and the breed is one
of the few modern breeds exhibiting only
the primitive or dun coloration.
This pony was used by the Vikings for war
mounts and they were also thought to be the
first western Europeans to use horses for
farming and the horses they used were the
versatile Fjord pony. It is thought that
all present-day draft breeds in western Europe
are descended in part from the Norwegian
Fjord.
All breeding in Norway is now controlled
by a Norwegian government agency. Only champion
stock can be exported. The Fjords now have
registries in Canada, the United States,
Great Britain, Germany, the Netherlands,
Belgium, Denmark and Sweden. Approximately
twenty-two Fjords have been imported to the
United States, most of them in the middle
1950's. Their descendants and a few of those
originally imported are scattered throughout
North America.
The Fjord Horse is distinguished by its unequaled
dependability. For centuries Norwegian breeders
have been determined to improve the breed
while emphasizing the calm and gentle temperament.
They are easily broken and need no retraining,
even after spending months at pasture untouched.
These dun-colored horses are nearly identical
to the unfamiliar eye, with distinct and
spectacular markings. Each has a dark dorsal
stripe, initiating in the center of the forelock
and running through the center of the mane,
back and tail. Dark bars on the legs and
black fetlocks complete the description.
Stallions stand 14 to 14-2 1/2 hands while
the mares are 13-1 to 13-3 hands.
The Fjord's strength, clean lines and exceptionally
adaptable nature have made them equally well
suited to harness or saddle. They can be
ridden English or Western, hunted, or driven
in shows, parades and down country roads.
Their mild manner makes them an ideal family
horse, ridden or driven as easily by the
novice or youngster as by the knowledgeable
adult horseman.
