The design depicts the Fjord horse or the Norwegian Fjord horse - a relatively
small but very strong horse breed from the mountainous regions of Western
Norway.
When the design was chosen, some criticized that the fjordhorse is not walking
that way as shown, however, it was said that the heraldic tradition required
such depiction.
