"The Norwegian Fjord Horse is one of the world's oldest and purest breeds. It is believed that the original Fjord Horse migrated to Norway and was domesticated over 4,000 years ago. Archeological excavations at Viking burial sites indicate that the Fjord Horse has been selectively bred for 2,000 years. The breed still exhibits strong survival instincts and remains healthy, fertile and useful well into its long life.

Norwegian Fjord Horses have a calm presence and a curious, active character .. Body structure within the breed ranges the entire spectrum, from flatter, lighter .. to a more round, heavier muscling. .. From this wide genetic pool comes the versatile Fjord of today .. (which) possesses a charming, gentle disposition and a strong body structure that enables the breed to be used for all types of riding, driving and draft work."
