This is not a question about France. Fjords are Norwegian (and other Scandinavian) inlets of the sea - some small bays ('bukt') and some strikingly craggy 800m high canyons going inland over 30 miles The fjord pony (not horse) is a small tan brown beast with a standing mane in a lighter hue. They usually trot at speed rather than canter when ridden and are not entirely unlike Shetland ponies in build and size ( though usually a little less pot-bellied). See also Icelandic ponies which were also likely to be derived from those used by the Viking. - ....or were you seeking a detailed genetic analysis and comparison....?
