Featured rare equine breed Norwegian Fjord Horsecombines strength, versatility, and a calm temperament in a small package. Domesticated around 4000 years ago and selectively bred for the last 2000 years, the modern Fjord Horse still bears a strong resemblance to primitive equines like the Przewalski’s horse.
