The Icelandic
Horse is the only breed native to Iceland and ridden
by everyone, including very large men. It is a small,
rugged and versatile animal that is not only popular
in Iceland, but also around the entire world. They are
self-assured, energentic, and friendly animals that
make great companions. Though it is small, it is very
strong, being able to pull several times its own body
weight. Because of their native terrain, they are capable
of navigating almost all sorts of land. They also have
a way of moving that fits any situation because they
have five gaits. The Icelandic Horse is a very fun,
friendly animal to ride. They are economic and low-maintenance,
and are very long-lived. Some have been known to live
well over 50 years. They are a herd animal and do not
enjoy being alone. Their manes and tails are thick and
have a thick double coat in the winter. However, in
the summer, their coats are sleek and smooth. In addition
to being small, they are stocky. They can appear in
42 different color patterns. In fact, they appear in
all colors possible in other breeds except Appaloosa
and roan is very rare. |
