The Icelandic Horse


Today we took advantage of the sunny weather in Reykjavik, Iceland and rode the gorgeous, cuddly, Icelandic Horses. One of the many differences between these adorable horses and other horses is their extra gaits; the one we used today and our guide was VERY proud of is the tölt.  
The tolt gait is pretty cool. Click that last hyperlink to see a short fun video of it. 
As winter arrives, the fur will get furrier,
so these horses will look like teddy bears.
My horse named, Fjölnir.
Still in the corral!
