I had an Icelandic horse! She was a cream colour and her name was nutmeg. She would follow me around without a lead and loved the raspberry bushes in front of our house. She was a sweet girl. I miss her a lot

So what Im hearing is, if I manage to steal a horse from iceland, I get to keep it?

Lol not me calling an 18 hand draft horse at our barn a pony 😂

Faroese horses also use the “tölt” gait, or “tølt” as it’s known in Faroese. Icelandic and Faroese horses have the same ancestral origins, so they have similar genetics. :)

I’ve got 2 icelandic horses, and i am also in care of 1 more. Truly the best horse breed (according to me), and to all the horse people thinking about a visit to iceland, I 100% recomend!

I visited Iceland back in 2019 and my favourite part was spotting all the Icelandic horses, they’re such a fascinating breed!

I once rode an Icelandic horse called Security guard. He really did keep me safe.

All horses have four gaits: walk, trot, canter, and gallop.

Love that you're eating a Prince Polo 😀

Lol just the idea of someone clutching their pearls after hearing their small horse called a pony made me laugh 😂

[GoodPersonTestWebsite]

For a lot of folks calling a horse "poney" is just a term of indearment. Like calling a lion "kitty" or an adult dog "puppy." Most people know the differences but just think it's cute.

I grew up with a bunch of icelandic horses and they are so lovely ❤️✨

[theindianreviewer]

Now I understand why the horses on the show Norsemen seemed like ponies. So much to learn.

[Xrisus]

I've ridden islandic horses almost my entire life. Such calm, curious, smart and lovely friends.

And stubborn...as hell..

[BernieLovesSomi]

I appreciate the advice to avoid calling them the P word. 😂

At the ranch I work at, we’ve got a palomino Icelandic horse. She’s really pretty, sweet, cuddly, and SO STRONG! Her neck is thicker than our main lesson horse. She’s so precious and honestly one of my favorite horses.
