athompson - 2012-04-06 I have had my fjord gelding for 10 months now. He is very good natured but does have a will of his own when he wants to ex, Bucking when he can't get his own way and sometimes takes off unexpectedly when riding outside. Does anyone else have this?

Charlie Roche - 2012-04-06 I thought that was just spirit. You wouldn't want a riding companion that doesn't have a little personality and get up and go. Would you? Now, you know sometimes you just have to let the fella think he is the boss - and then learn how to lead. I much prefer a horse with a little personality then a peaceful, always there, blah personality. He is just got a little spirit. This can be true of any breed of horse ---
Dana - 2011-11-08 I just bought A Fjord and so far she is turning out to be great. Just love her already. She is gentle and kind and very smart. She loves to eat though so must watch her diet and give her regular exercise.

Clarice Brough - 2012-05-08 That is one cool horse... yay, I'm jealous:) She's going to love all the regular excercise too, and the accompanying attention.
LL - 2012-05-04 Hi, can someone give me some input on feeding of fyord horse, located in florida, how much food does it need .. really....... it gets no grazing and only gets minimal hay, one to two flakes coastal hay, bored to death, only gets 1/4 of scoop twice a day. very depressed horse......
Lori Spiker - 2012-04-03 I just got my first Fjord a few weeks ago, she is 23 and one of the most foward and powerful horses I have ever owned, yet she is graceful and light on her feet. She is very intelligent, sweet, kind, and a bit willful, but she makes riding so fun! I wish I had a Fjord years ago. I was mis-informed 25+ years ago that they weren't very nice horses....I should have checked around with other owners after that comment, I feel I've missed out all these years of having these wonderful horses. I am very grateful I have one now! I will own this breed the rest of my life, I couldn't be happier.
Karen - 2011-12-16 I've had a fjord pony for 10 months now and he's the best thing in my life! He's so amusing, so affectionate loves to be entertained and a great mixer with his peers! As long as he can go out grazing daily and riden regularly he's the happiest horse ever! I love fjord ponies and would recommend them to anyone

Charlie Roche - 2011-12-16 Glad you enjoy. They are handsome creatures.
The Norwegian Fjord Horse is not only one of the oldest breed of horse, but it is also one of the purest breeds!
