Both a work and riding horse, the Fjord is a small but stout breed that originated in Norway. Despite its stocky and muscular build, the Fjord horse has a very calm and gentle disposition, making it a great horse for first-time riders looking to learn and train. Scientific Name: Equus ferus caballus Characteristics: Although they're small in stature, Fjords have a huge personality! Painted by hand and crafted with life-like realism and accuracy, this figurine is great as a toy or teaching aid, as a piece of décor for around the house, or as a gift for an aspiring rider. Size and Color: 5.5 inches long and 3.75 inches tall, this model is a bit bigger than a soda can lay on its side. All Fjord horses, our figurine included, are dun in color and have thick manes and tails. Their manes are sometimes cut in a crescent shape to emphasize their sturdy necks. The Fjord is part of the Safari Farm Winner's Circle Horses collection All of our products are Non-toxic and BPA-free.
