C’est ici que nous sommes nés, en Norvège des Fjords, parmi les hautes montagnes et fjords profonds.

Dont nous tirons notre nom.

Nous sommes l’une des plus anciennes races de cheval du monde et l’une des trois races originaires de Norvège.

Nous parcourons les versants montagneux sans faillir depuis des siècles !

Nous sommes plutôt trapus, mais suffisamment robustes pour supporter le poids d’un homme adulte.

Nous sommes intelligents et avons bon caractère, ce qui fait de nous un compagnon calme et fiable, autant apprécié des jeunes cavaliers que des plus âgés.

Saviez-vous que l’on fait également appel à nous en équithérapie ?

Nous pouvons hâler de lourdes charges, ce qui, jadis, faisait de nous le cheval de trait idéal dans les fermes d’altitude.

Et nous sommes faciles à reconnaître. Regardez un peu cette coupe !

Il n’y a pas de crête plus stylée dans l’écurie, n’est-ce pas ?

Cette raie noire inimitable qui ressort lorsque notre crinière est coupée court...

On nous reconnaît aisément à notre robe isabelle et aux marques sombres de nos membres.

Certains d’entre nous arborent même des zébrures sur les jambes !

Notre allure est régulière et nous sommes un compagnon sûr pour toute randonnée à cheval.

Malgré nos remarquables qualités, nous sommes pourtant menacés. Nous ne sommes plus que 5 500 en Norvège.

Il n’y a tout simplement pas assez de naissances chaque année.

On trouve des Fjords au Danemark, aux Pays-Bas et en Allemagne, mais c’est la Norvège qui supervise notre élevage en vue de notre sauvegarde.

Le concours annuel des étalons de Nordfjordeid attire beaucoup de monde. Si vous y allez , profitez-en pour rendre une petite visite au Norsk fjordhestsenter (centre norvégien du Fjord).

Bien qu’originaire du Nordfjord en Norvège des Fjords, vous nous trouverez ailleurs dans le pays.

Comme par exemple au Langedrag Natur Park, qui abrite un sympathique troupeau et conduit un programme d’élevage en vue de notre sauvegarde. Tant que vous êtes là, profitez-en pour aller trotter sur les sentiers équestres ou vous initier à la voltige, sorte de gymnastique à cheval !
