De Dølehest schijnt verwant te zijn aan de Fries, zo is op diverse plaatsen op internet te lezen (maar echt bewijs heb ik niet gevonden).

Wat een leuk dier is Borka! Ik ben benieuwd wat deze combinatie oplevert.

Oklahoma State University - https://breeds.okstate.edu/horses/dole-horses.html

Citaat:

This breed originated in the Gudbrandsdal Valley which connects the Oslo region with the North Sea coast. It is likely that the Friesian played a part in the breeding of the Døle due to the similarity between the two. The Friesians traded heavily with Britain, Norway and the Rhine Delta during the period from 400 to 800 A.D.

Citaat:

The well-known English writer on horses, Anthony Dent, and others are of the opinion that the Friesian horse influenced the Old English Black Horse and the Fell Pony. Dent proposes that the Norwegian Dole hest (Gudbrandsdal horse), which shows great likeness to the Friesian horse, must have got there from Friesland either as booty or by regular trade. The Northern Swedish horse was greatly. influenced by the Norwegian Dole. Dent also suggests a Norwegian influence on the English Dale pony. In the Pyrenees in southern France there is a pony “Ariege called after Merens” (“Ariege dit de Merens”) that looks remarkably like a small Friesian horse.
