I finally got around to scanning this drawing of a Fjordhest so I am posting it again, but hopefully the quality is better now!

Snow shake! I had a photo of Honey rolling in snow and shaking it off afterwards, but unfortunately her nose got cropped off. So I decided to redraw the scene!

Bonus pic of Honey showing Tammie how fun rolling in snow is.

Since Norwegian Fjord Horse won the poll here are some fun facts regarding the breed!

The fjord horse is believed to be one of the world's oldest breeds as they have one of the longest recorded histories of pure breeding and remains of them have been found in Viking graves.

The modern-day fjord is larger than their ancestors, today they range between 130-145cm (4'2''-4'7'') while their ancestors lingered around 120cm (4'1''). Despite this, there isn't actually any set hight standard for the breed.

Any and all fjord horses are homozygous dun meaning there is no such thing as a fjord horse that isn't dun.

The mane is commonly clipped short to the point of it standing up on its own. This is for a number of reasons such as making the neck look muscular and well-built but also making it easier to groom. It might also be done to avoid the mane being tangled into farm equipment, or simply for aesthetics.

There are signs that the fjord horse may be genetically related to the Mongolian horse.

The breed walks a very fine line between keeping the breed pure while also maintaining health and conformation.

Your posts are helping fill the horse-shaped hole in my heart that I've had for a few years. I don't suppose you have any knowledge of Norwegian Fjord horses?

I'm happy to fuel your interest!

Due to some genetic bottlenecks caused by the breed's dwindling population in the 1800s, all living fjord horses can be traced back to one common ancestor: a stallion named Njål 166.

The split mane colors are caused by the dun gene. This gene causes lighter guard hairs (the hairs at the side of the mane), on top of diluting the main coat. In fjord horses, this trait is particularly pronounced.

The lighter hair in the mane of this konik horse is also caused by the dun gene:

In fjord horses, the isolated population and selective breeding have created a very striking expression of this particular trait.

Cutting the mane short also accentuates the color difference:
