Average Height: 13.2 - 14.2 hands
Colors: Brown dun, occasionally red dun, grey, white, uls dun, or yellow dun
Conformation: Fjords are almost always brown dun in color. These horses retain the "primitive" markings of their wild ancestors: a black dorsal stripe that runs from the forelock to the tail, and zebra striping on the legs. The Fjord's mane is very characteristic; the center hair is black and the outer hair is white. The mane is usually cut short and trimmed in a crescent shape to emphasize the curve of the neck and the coloring of the mane.
The Fjord should have a refined head and a straight or slightly dished face. The eyes should be large, the ears small and alert. The neck should be crested and well muscled. The Fjord's body should be short coupled and it should have well-developed muscles. The legs should have substantial bone and the feet should be black.
Temperament: Hardy, loving, willing, great family horse
