This Fjord horse is a very detailed model of many of the primitive horse breeds. Add stripes and he's a pretty good zebra. Change his color a bit, and he's a Mongolian wild horse or a Tarpan. This is a very versatile body type for customizers of models, probably the most versatile that Breyer makes.

First, I like this little guy's name. Makes me think of the Model T, which is appropriate since the Norwegian Fjord is one of the most primitive horses still in existance. It looks very much like the extinct Tarpan. Second, I'd like to salute Breyer for making models of lesser known horses so those of us who aren't likely to see one in the flesh can have an all around view of them. They've certainly captured the character of this spunky critter. He's on my shelf right next to Man 'O War and looks like he thinks he could take him on. Last, this toy is solid. Built just like the little Fjord, it's set low to the ground with sturdy legs and neck. Not likely to break easily.

I just love Norwegian Fjords. They're my favorite pony breed so I bought this when it first came out a few years ago. My only complaint, I wish Breyer would come out with a new Norwegian Fjord. Maybe a foal or something...Oh, yeah. About the 2 stars for fun..This isn't really a fun toy. ..., these model horses are collector's items meaning don't give em to your 4-year-old to play with and bang up unless you like wasting money. However, if you have an older child who loves horses, this is definitely a great gift.
