El Fjord, el caballo nacional de Noruega

Nacimos en la Noruega de los fiordos, entre altas montañas y profundos fiordos.

De ahí nuestro nombre.

Somos una de las razas de caballo más antiguas del mundo, y una de las tres que proceden de Noruega.

¡Llevamos cientos de años cruzando al galope colinas y valles noruegos!

Somos relativamente pequeños, pero lo suficientemente fuertes para soportar el peso de un adulto.

Nuestro carácter tranquilo y resuelto hace que te puedas fiar de nosotros. Y gustamos tanto a jóvenes como a mayores.

¡Hasta se nos usa con fines terapéuticos!

Podemos arrastrar carros y mover cargas bastante pesadas, lo que nos convirtió, en su momento, en la raza perfecta para las granjas de montaña.

¡Y se nos reconoce fácilmente! Solo tienes que fijarte en nuestro genial corte de pelo...

Seguramente el peinado más punk de todo el establo 🤘

Lucimos un típico remate negro sobre las crines, que destaca sobre todo cuando estas son cortas.

Y también nos caracterizan nuestro pelaje de color pardo y las manchas oscuras de nuestras patas.

Algunos incluso contamos con rayas blancas y negras, tipo zebra, en rodillas y corvejones.

Nuestro paso firme te mantendrá seguro durante tus aventuras a lomos de un caballo en Noruega.

Sin embargo, nuestra especie y los rasgos que la hacen única están en peligro de extinción. Hoy en día solo quedamos unos 5.500 caballos Fjord en Noruega.

Y es que el número de crías que nacen cada año no es suficiente.

Hay caballos Fjord en países como Dinamarca, Holanda y Alemania, pero Noruega supervisa los esfuerzos por conservar nuestra raza.

La muestra anual de sementales que se celebra en Nordfjordeid es muy popular. Allí puedes visitar también el Centro noruego del caballo Fjord.

Aunque nuestro lugar de origen es Nordfjord, en la Noruega de los fiordos, nos puedes encontrar en muchos puntos del país.

Como por ejemplo el Parque natural de Langedrag, donde vivimos unos cuantos de nosotros. Además, el parque gestiona un programa para la conservación de nuestra especie. Allí puedes montar a caballo por algún sendero o hasta probar a hacer gimnasia a lomos de un caballo (salto de potro).
