They look much closer related to the Fjord than the Icelandic. They are about the same size and they are also used in heavy work. They are the quintessential large Scottish pony carrying the deer down out of the hills. There was a letter at a web site that stated that this person was impressed that the Highland came in so many colors, unlike another breed he was looking at - I assume that other breed he was talking about was the Fjord. I haven't a clue what their personality is like so I'd love to hear a report from any one who gets to meet them. What breeds are the Fjords biggest competitors - the Highland, Fell, Connemara and the Welsh Cob????? Icelandics and Fjords are too different, although surely related, I don't think they would appeal to the same people very often.
