Well, I can't say I agree with the drawing and quartering a Fjord owner, 
but I must say, when I measured my 13.3/14.0 hh five-year-old gelding, he was 
right around 900 lbs - according to a standard weight tape.  The vets rate him 
a 6 or 7 on the body condition scale.
His sister, who will be three next month, is about 13.1ish, with a leaner 
build (but still around a 6 on the body condition scale) was around 700-750 
lbs the last time I measured her.  She has gained some since then, but probably 
not a lot.
Neither of them are very drafty, though.  I wouldn't be surprised if a 
really drafty Fjord weighted substantially more.

OK, I'll bite... "Drawn and quartered" is an old medieval lovely where a 
person (usually an enemy!) is tied to four strong horses by each of their four 
limbs, and then Yee Haw! Giddy Up! Get the gruesome picture? ;)

I think he means that most Fjords shouldn't weigh that much and the owner is at 
fault. I think dismemberment is a little over the top for a punishment, though.
