You are here: Terrific-Horses.com > Horse Breeds > Fjord Book Search: Fjord Description The Fjord migrated to Norway and the Scandinavian Peninsula over 4,000 years ago. The Fjord was used as the Vikings' horse. The Fjord is renowned by its unsurpassed reliability. For centuries breeders have been determined to develop the breed while accentuating its calm and gentle temperament. They do not need to be retrained and are easily broken even after spending months at pasture untouched. The Fjord is powerful and does a variety of tasks. It can be used on mountain farms by plowing and carrying loads through rivers and along steep mountain tracks. The Fjord does well in long distances under saddle and has courage and limitless endurance. The breeding in Norway today is controlled by a Norwegian government agency and only champion stock can be exported. The Fjord's qualities have made them popular and many are exported to Germany, Denmark, and Central European countries. The Fjord has registries in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Sweden, and Denmark. Google Ads
