Icelandic horses are a unique breed known for their small size, strength, and adaptability to harsh climates. Originating from Iceland, they have remained genetically pure for over a thousand years due to strict import regulations.

These horses are renowned for their five gaits: walk, trot, canter, tolt, and pace. The tolt is particularly smooth and comfortable for riders over the rugged Icelandic terrain.

Icelandic horses are hardy and resilient, and they are used for various activities, including farming, sports, and leisure riding.

Their friendly and intelligent nature makes them popular among horse enthusiasts. Despite their size, they are strong and capable, often living long and healthy lives.
