CONT

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.
