Extremely sure-foorted, keen and friendly, the horses are a joy to ride and very beautiful, with unusual colours and long, shaggy manes and thick coats. The come in a range of colours too - white, beige, gold, tan, dark brown and black.
The Icelandic horse are very small - although suggesting to an Icelander that they are ponies is not a good idea! In addition to the usual walk, trot and canter that most breeds have, these horses possess two unique gaits - the tolt and the pace, a faster version of the tolt for more experienced riders.
