The story of the Icelandic horse is truly fascinating. These animals, essential to life in Iceland since the time of the Viking settlements, represent one of the purest breeds in the world.
When the first settlers arrived on the island, they could only bring a limited number of horses and chose the best representatives of the breed. Since then, Iceland’s geographic isolation has protected these horses from many diseases, but it has also led to strict regulations: importing new animals is prohibited, and each horse can leave the island only once in its lifetime.
The Icelandic horse is strong, intelligent, gentle, and extremely versatile. In addition to the classic gaits, it can perform the Tölt and the flying pace—smooth and harmonious movements that make it truly unique.
To best support the characteristics of these compactly built horses with their distinctive gaits, Prestige offers a range of saddles specially suited to them.
