What more can be said about the Icelandic horses that hasn’t been put in print somewhere? The nation’s servant for centuries has not changed since the discovery of Iceland. Laws have been in place in Iceland for decades if not at least a century that ban the importation of horses to Iceland. The breeding line of Icelandic horses is kept pure through these restrictions. It is the only horse that has five different gaits, the “tolt” (a four-beat fast walk or running walk) is unique to Icelandic horses. Many stories abound the annals of Icelandic history telling of how a horse saves its owner, in blinding snow storms finds its way home or through its sure footedness manages to find its way through a tricky mountain pass.
