The Icelandic horse is small, at times pony-sized. Icelandic horses are long-lived and hardy. The breed has a double coat developed for extra insulation in cold temperatures.

 

We encountered a great number of these horses along the route, while we were exploring the south (east) of Iceland. At times you feel sorry for these animals, as you feel strong winds and the chilly cold weather of Iceland. Luckily their coat is immensely thick and their manes feel like straw!
