The Norwegian Fjord Horse is one of the world's oldest and purest breeds of horse.

The Norwegian Fjord Horse is known for its gentleness of temperament, willingness to work, stamina, and vigor. Used for draft work, riding, and driving, individuals vary in size and weight according to use.

The Norwegian Fjord horse retains much of its ancestor's primitive vigour, as well as the uniform dun coat colour. The latter is accompanied by an eel stripe running from the forelock to the tip of the tail, and sometimes by zebra bars on the legs.

The Norwegian Fjord horse is a primitive breed of horses that now has only dun horses, although the dun may be due to another variant of the dun allele.
