Love these, especially the Fjord.❤

[@tracynydam4898]

Fjord is one of my favorites, Love the color

[@Antares2]

As a northern norwegian, I think it's very cool that the Lyngshest is represented here. It's such a cute little horse.

[@bdudhjdk4769]

As a norwegian I have ridden many horses of these breeds, and i especially love the fjord and the dølahest. Really fun to see them represented! I think the reason there are so few norlandshester is because the icelandic horse is so similar, but with extra gaits, so it's more popular

[@CritterUprising]

you are wonderful. Wishing you and the beautiful country of Norway always happiness

[@picobello99]

I've heard the Nordlandshest is gaited too sometimes. Could you (or anybody else) confirm if this is true or not?

[@bdudhjdk4769]

@@picobello99 from some googling it seems like most breeds have some horses that can learn to tölt, so it's not spesific to the nordlandshest. I found a forum where someone said that their fjord could tölt. This is not common at all though, and i have never seen it. Some years ago i think i read about a connemara that could tölt

[@user-oq1zg9mp7m]

Thank you for including the coldblood trotter 😄 In my opinion the best of all the Scandinavian breeds 🥰 Their studbook is open between Norway and Sweden, so it's actually a Norwegian-Swedish breed, not just a Norwegian one.

[@Shovel03]

the Swedish Coldblooded Trotter have a special place in my heart

[@Robin-sb7vu]

I love that you are doing this! What an incredible project!

[@LieschenMichels]

Thank you so much for your great videos. I love watching them 🥰

[@yasminhelenendangeredspecies]

What a lovely segment showcasing all of these Norwegian Horses🐴🌺I thoroughly enjoyed it. Cannot decide on a favorite except to say BRISK has an exceptionally lovely gaze and his dark eyes are gorgeous! 💝 I give up though because I Love them all🐴💝! Thank You Alyssa for yet another beautifully tranquil and Happy Spirited Visit. I am living vicariously through your amazing adventures. Thank you for bringing your Gift to those of us who cannot be with the horses yet who love them immensely. Brightest Blessings 💝🌷💪 & Brave Onwards🐴!

[@leitastevens3406]

Being of Norwegian descent on my father's side, I had always been fascinated by the Fjord, and finally got to meet one in person about 8 years ago. My current horse is an American Paint horse, but I hope to have a Fjord next.

[@randybutler4772]

Well this was very educational for me as I have never been to Norway. Had no idea there are so many native breeds. Thank you for sharing.🐴

[@archeanna1425]

Thank you so much. The trotters are gorgeous, I could watch their shoulders all day long.

[@SWeed-rz9wy]

I had a coldblooded trotter, a lovely leisure horse that anyone could ride. Brave, calm and forwardgoing. He loved to find new tracks when hacking out, always cooperative, and had a charming and just a little cheaky personality. ❤️

[@jerryfischer3988]

We love our Fjords 😊

[@hannesofie6071]

I'm Norwegian to, and grown up surrounde by theese breeds. I'v ridden them all and am proud to say some of them was my friends and partners!!! ❤❤ You presented them so well in this video!!! Loved it!!! ❤❤

[@VeronicaEquestrienne]

I'm Norwegian and I loan a Norwegian Dole Horse or Dølahest

[@selias-qm2nc]

All these breeds have such special place in my heart ❤ they’re all truly so special in their own humble way

[@lisatopham4249]

Fantastic ! What wonderful horses and ponys ,very interesting thankyou 🥰

[@anne-theresefagerli6939]

coldblooded is the best, allraoundhorse

[@DianeLee999]

What a lovely cluster of versatile, hardy, and social horses! Bravo, native Norwegian breeds 💜🇺🇸

[@steventrompeter9883]

Thanks for another stop on your journey. Beautiful horses and beautiful people. 😍

[@pjk1714]

That was so special!!! Responsible ownership and the right climate is necessary to assure a happy future. Understanding the headstrong temperament is required for the results seen.

[@maggiepie8810]

Cold-blooded trotters can also become amazing horses for working equitation, academic riding, and dressage.

[@ellenwalker3749]

Thank you!

[@annebell7274]

Love them ❤❤❤❤❤

[@nackyeads2508]

Loved these Norwegian horses! Thanks for the chance to meet them!!

[@DiscoverTheHorse]

Thanks for watching!

[@VeronicaEquestrienne]

The Norwegian horses are beautiful

[@pipermoonshine]

I wonder if horses realize that when they walk on pavement they make a beautiful sound.

[@liesjelualockse6377]

As a Dutch horse girl I fell head over heels for Fjords. Later I watched Dutch rider Jolanda Adelaar bring her Fjord Guus to grandprix level dressage and I knew; these horses can do anything! ... if they want to do it for you, they are a bit stubborn like that^^ Very healthy trade imo :) Amazing video again, loved all of it!

[@MeganHopkinson_NZ]

The Norwegian fjord horse sits in my heart, this was so beautiful to watch.so, so greatful that they are in New Zealand ❤❤❤ a few tears may have been shed watching this film

[@donnayoung5133]

Thank you for such an interesting video. I knew nothing of these breeds.🐎👍

[@kathyhepler382]

Alyssa. While riding the horses 🐎 🐴. You have the same smile on your face that I do when I'm riding!!!!

[@kristinemccaddon1962]

Worked with a fjord cross at an equine therapy place, he was so much fun. And he loved the kids

[@madisonherzog9195]

I love the energy and passion of these beautiful people. Thank you for sharing!!

[@nadinehulbig5582]

I live in Norway as well and have ridden only 3 of the native breeds, since Nordlandshest are to small for me 😊 Right now I own a 3 year old Døl gelding.

[@PrayerWarrior4]

Your back!! Love these Norwegian horse breeds!!

[@bettinahenning5069]

From time to time I ride a fjord and he is so much fun! Love youre norwegian video. I hope I can see this country pne day. So beautiful

[@wildedibles819]

Love it thank you

[@KarlKingz]

Amazing

[@myrnaedmisten599]

So wonderful. ❤❤

[@nadinehulbig5582]

Would have liked to have seperated videos for each breed. It feels rushed compared to the other films you have done. And there is so much about these breeds you didn't mentioned. Must say I'm a little disappointed. Maybe there are more videos to come? One for every breed? But love your channel anyway. ❤️

[@AwkwardBirb]

“Come get a Norwegian horse anytime you want” don’t TEMPT ME my bank account would NOT forgive me. 😂 But oh it would be worth it! ❤

[@DiscoverTheHorse]

😁

[@ruthhamilton4882]

Maybe we could get a discount if we pooled our resources 😊

[@JustASleepySloth]

I don't think they mentioned that naturally fjord horses have longer manes that lay flat on their neck and it's only standing up like that because many people cut the hair back to look like that.

[@ronjameinhardt9533]

One question. How fast can a Fjord horse be? I have seen videos of them galloping but it was always a very slow gallop closer to trot than a fast gallop. I know that they propably aren‘t able to run 60 km/h but it would be intersting to know how fast they can get.

[@catdog8799]

Komm zu uns in Schweiz 🤗 wir haben seltene Pferde Rassen vom Freiberger Pferd zum Burgdorf und der Einsiedler 😘

[@KateKarate]

Ein Freiberger wäre mein Traumpferd! ❤

[@catdog8799]

@@KateKarate ich habe eine Fuchs Stute mit der kann man alles machen, wie ein Schweizer Taschenmesser 🤗 Tolle Pferde kann ich nur empfehlen. ❤️

[@joannesmartens9442]

I think the hight of the horses has nothing to do with the mountains or flat land. I think the most popular is the fjord😊
