- Here in Germany Fjord horses are very popular. If you need special
- Information please write it, because a friend of mine has some fjords
- and is well informated. If you have a fjord buyed be very careful with
- feeding it. Because Norwegian is a land without much feed for horses
- they don't need much grain. If they have the possibility to eat grass
- it is often enough for them. The gelding of my friend gets 1 kilo
- (2 pounds ) grain each day and he rides him 2 hours a day.
- If they eat to much albumen (is this the right expression ??)
- they' ll get problems with theit legs and hoofs.
- Fjords are very nice horses, they are very hard, work much and like
- peoples. They like it to be outside, too in winter when there is
- 2 or 3 feed snow. It is no problem for them if the rider is weighty.
- Mostly they are between 135 and 145 cm height, sometimes 150 cm.
- Their mane is always standing. If you cut the mane so, that you can
- see the black 172 inch over the light it's called Norwegian, if you
- can't see the black it's Danish.
