Icelandic Pony

Icelandic Pony
The sure-footed Icelandic pony boasts five gaits, a quality unique to this breed, which descends from ancient horses brought to Iceland by the Vikings. A versatile pony that is used for pulling carts, carrying cargo, and riding, the Icelandic has remained free from the influence of outside breeds for centuries.
