Icelandic horses are super friendly | The Icelandic horse – the key to Icelandic nature and history
Character
The Icelandic horse has a very individual character. It is patient, adaptable, uncomplicated and sometimes very spirited, it has a friendly personality and a special affinity for people. Bred as a riding and working horse for the Icelandic farmer makes it an excellent family horse. With no natural predators in its home country, the horse has shed much of its natural “fight or flight” instinct. The easy going, friendly disposition of many Icelandic horses make them ideal family horses. At the same time, the diversity within the breed is enormous. You can both find the safest children’s horses, and the hottest pace race horses within this breed, so take care not to think all Icelandic horses are alike.
The Icelandic horses height ranges between 128 cm and 148 cm stick. It is thought an insult on Iceland to call it a pony, and all over the world they are called Icelandic horses. Many riders returned from their first ride on an Icelandic “pony” saying “This is truly a Horse”, such is the feeling of power and personality glows from the horse.
