Hi Dwight, there are no dumb questions! The Fjord and Icelandic are two different, separate breeds of ponies. The Fjord is an older breed than the Icelandic Horse which is basically man-made, about a thousand years go. Fjords go back further. They have been connected thru mitochondrial DNA, so Fjord may be an ancestor of the Icelandic.
