About Icelandic Horses:

The Icelandic Horse is a unique breed developed in Iceland over 1,000 years ago, brought by Viking settlers between 860-935 AD. These horses are known for their five gaits (most horses have three): walk, trot, canter, tölt (a smooth four-beat gait), and flying pace (a very fast lateral gait). Blue dun is a rare and beautiful color featuring a slate-grey or mouse-grey body with black mane, tail, and legs, plus primitive markings like a dorsal stripe down the back. Icelandic Horses are small but incredibly strong and hardy, typically standing 13-14 hands high but able to carry adult riders with ease. They're known for their intelligence, sure-footedness, and friendly temperament. No horses have been imported to Iceland for over 1,000 years, keeping the breed pure! Icelandic stallions are spirited but trainable, excelling in endurance riding and showing their unique gaits. They're symbols of Icelandic heritage and national pride!
