Thanks, Catherine; I groked around and found similiar references to horse
skeletons found in viking burials, but nothing identifying them as fjords.
Indeed, the oldest one was fomr ~ 1000 AD, so I still don't know where the
"2000 years" reference is from.

Hello! And Good Morning!
What we have found and we are still looking for the exact quotes for
you...
are the following. (Translated into English)
Gyldendals Store Konversasjons Leksikon ( Encyclopedia )
The Osebergskipet had 14 skeletons of horses.
The Gokstad ship had 12 skeletons of horses.
The book lists all the item that they found.
I believe the quote about selectively breeding comes from a Norwegian
Book.
Many stories were passed down from Skalds (story tellers).
Enjoy the day!
