About North Swedish HorsesAbout North Swedish Horses





North Swedish horses originated in Africa…just kidding they are from Sweden. They were developed from Scandinavian horse breeds. They have been used as pack horses, military mounts, and forestry work. They can be found in Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Estonia. They are smaller (about 15 hands tall) than some of the more powerful breeds, but do not let their size fool you; they are very strong, excellent workers. They are also very sweet, willing, tender, and easy to care for.  

They have a relatively small head, a crested neck, sloping shoulders, deeper body frame, and very rounded quarters. They also have a low set tail and a sweeping quarter. They have solid, round feet. They also have a low wither and a deep chest as well.
