Fjording donates 1 US dollar for each sold 0,5 liter bottle to the Fjord Horse Community. The reason for that is explained in this previous blog post (in Norwegian).
In 2018 we sold 5100 bottles. Therefore we will donate 45.000 NOK this summer.
Fjording wants to cherish the enthusiasts and organizations that works with promoting the Fjord horses, stimulate use amongst children, and to those who secures a better future for the breed.
