There is NO evidence that the fjord as we know it existed during the Viking Age, allthough it's ancestors certainly did. And there is NO traces of selective breeding of fjords 1000 years back. Also the "vikings" were people from all the Nordic countries and I belive that it is hard to name one Norwegian breed as THE war mount of people from Denmark and Sweden. There are other breeds as old as the fjord in Scandinavia. Anneli ***************** Anneli Sundkvist, PhD Dept. of Archaeology & Ancient History St. Eriks Torg 5 S-753 10 Uppsala SWEDEN
