Fjord horse mother and colt

Fjord horse mother and colt
From Wikipedia:
"The Fjord horse or Norwegian Fjord Horse (Norwegian: fjordhest) is a relatively small but very strong horse breed from the mountainous regions of western Norway. It is an agile breed of light draught horse build. All Fjord horses are dun in colour, with five variations in shade recognised in the breed standard. One of the world's oldest breeds, it has been used for hundreds of years as a farm horse in Norway, and in modern times is popular for its generally good temperament. It is used both as a harness horse and under saddle."

I can attest to the gentle and friendly nature of the mama and her baby. I loved his stocky body, not the gangly looking colt I'm used to.

Thank you, Keith! The minute I saw the little one, I knew these weren't ordinary N. American horses. He was standing squarely on his thick, muscular frame. ;-)

I grew up with horses, and I always liked it to work with them. I also liked the smell of the horses.

Lucky you! I had very little experience with horses, most of it with an ancient fellow on my grandfather's ranch named Sparkplug. We had no idea how to "drive" a horse, so he was the boss. He didn't like us grandchildren and would run away with us and stop abruptly to dump us off into a rose bush, or a pile of rocks. I have to admit that horses don't smell bad!
