Fjord [...] Esta inhabitual raza, originaria del oeste de Noruega, ya se encuentra en toda Escandinavia y en otros paises. A pesar de que han sido domados durante años, siguen teniendo un aspecto parecido al de los caballos primitivos como el Przewalski. Poseen unos cascos firmes y son ideales para el trabajo pesado. Por su capacidad para trabajar en regiones montañosas, ahí donde los tractores no pueden acceder, su valor ha sido incalculable para los granjeros. 2, record 3, Spanish, - caballo%20de%20los%20fiordes
