Icelandic Horses
A rider leads an Icelandic horse in a stable belonging to a breeding and training center near the village of Akureyri, Iceland, on December 26, 2024. The Icelandic horse is a unique breed originating in Iceland, known for its endurance and versatility. Small to medium in size, they have a robust conformation and long manes. They are well adapted to the harsh climatic conditions of their native country and are famous for their two unique gaits, the "tolt" and "flokk," which distinguish them from other breeds. Their calm temperament makes them suitable for riders of all levels. In addition to their use in agriculture and transportation, they are valued in equestrian sports. Responsible breeding ensures that their unique characteristics are preserved, and their popularity grows beyond Iceland, attracting horse lovers from all over the world.
