Fjord or not?

[Paint Me Proud]

Just seen an advert for a horse for sale that is advertised as a Fjord, but i just dont think it is.

What do you recon?

Looks like one, either that or its a Fjord cross

What do you want the pony for? Unless you are showing, does it matter? I bought one of our ponies as an Exmoor cross, there is no way he is, but that didn't worry me.

It's definitely got Norwegian Fjord in it, could be full bred or a cross, but it's in there for sure. I did live in Scandinavia for a while and I know there are different colours of NFs so maybe run a check on them and see what colour of dun it is. Actually if you're interested in the pony why don't you just email them and ask for the registered name, then you'll know

Looks like one to me - very similar to one that was on my yard.

I'm not interested in buying it just didn't think it looked like a full bred fjord, if you imagine it bay instead of dun then I think it would look more like a sports horse

I'd say at best it's a cross - there is no flaxen/pale mane and while you can get some very sporty looking Fjords according to google, they still have more of the characteristic double coloured manes?

I think it's a cross, it certainly doesn't look pure bred..

Theres a good chunk of Fjord in there id wager, but I dont think it really matters, its a dandy little thing I like

I would say not a full fjord, looks too fine and dark in colouring. You can always ask for it's registered name and called the fjord society who can tell you if it's a full fjord or fjord "type".

Not pure bred I don't think, but still looks like a nice mare

We nearly bought a fjord that may have been a highland, that's another story, but agree that this beastie looks like fjord x something finer
