Breyer — CollectA Fjord Stallion Brown Dun

The Norwegian Fjord is one of the world's oldest and purest horse breeds, and has been in North America since the late 1800s, with their numbers being greatly increased through importation during the 1950s and 60s. The Fjord horse is strong enough for heavy work, such as plowing fields or pulling timber, yet light and agile enough to be a good riding horse.

About 90% of all Fjords are brown dun in color (tan, gold, or related shades); the rest being red, gray, white or yellow dun. The Fjord retains its original wild dun color, as well as zebra stripes on the legs and a dorsal stripe that runs from the forelock down the neck and back and into the tail.

Another unique characteristic of the Fjord is the mane. The center hair of the mane is dark (usually black) while the outer hair is white. The mane is cut short so it will stand erect.
