Skogstad Svarten, with our 5 year old nephew on board. The picture was taken in Norway but the horse is now in the USA. Svarten was 3 years old at the time of this photo.

The head should be well-set on a well-formed neck. The Døle horse should be deep through the heart, have good width in the chest and be well ribbed up.The back and loins should be well muscled and the quarters lengthy broad and strong.
