The Icelandic Horse

A man is observed riding a specimen of Icelandic horse in one of the stables located south of the island. October 19, 2022. These horses measure about 135 centimeters on average. They arrived in Iceland over 800 years ago with the first Viking settlers. Although not a large horse, they are very strong, and have adapted very well to the weather conditions on the island. Most of the horses graze freely in the fjord. During the cold winter they survive thanks to the thick layer of fat that protects them from the winds and low temperatures.
