Icelandic Horses have been purely bred for more than 1,000 years without bloodline interruption. They are gentle natured. They are strong enough to carry adults and children. They also have a special gait which makes them extremely comfortable to ride on a trail ride.
Iceland was settled long ago by the Vikings. They developed an interesting Republican government with the oldest national parliament in Europe at Pingvellir. Members of parliament rode horses from all over the country to here. Later Iceland was subjected by the King of Denmark.
Our family in Denmark introduced us to Icelandic horses when we went trail riding along the beach on the north west coast of Jutland, near Skagen. The following year we did an 8 day cross country trek in Iceland. This included riding to the original site of parliament.
The Icelandic horses have adapted well to the climate in South Gippsland, and other areas in Australia.
