Meet the Fjord horse. Adorable, intelligent, hardy, dependable, playful, and they love grass, the Fjord horse is the Norwegian national horse breed that has the largest populations outside Norway’s borders in Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and the USA. There are an estimated 80 000 Fjord horses worldwide. Filmed during the Sons of Norway 2023 Norwegian Christmas Festival at Norway House in Fairfax, Virginia. The Norwegian Fjord horse originates from the fjord areas in western Norway. Throughout the 20th century, the Fjord horse was bred purely on the dun color (nearly white) that is an important breed characteristic today, with characteristic dark middle part in forehead, mane, and tail, dark stripe along the back, and transverse stripes on the legs.
