THE ICELANDIC HORSES

Considered the world’s purest breed, Icelandic Horses were brought by Viking ships in Iceland to serve as the sole source of transportation over the rough terrain of this Country. Isolated by law, nature gifted these horses with no natural predators, but in turn challenged them with sparse forage and a harsh climate. Survivors of this natural selection process, the calm, sure-footed Icelandic Horses learned to stop and think rather than panic and flee. Read our History of the Icelandic Horse.
Strong, yet never intimidating, and capable of carrying large adults due to their unique bone density, Icelandic Horses average 13 to 14 hands in height. Icelandic Horses are found in all colors and have beautifully defined heads and abundant manes and tails.
