- "The breed came here with the Vikings, and it has stayed pure for a thousand years. No import is allowed inside the country, and a horse leaving Iceland never comes back." 🇮🇸🐴
In the latest episode of RIDE, presented by Longines, we head to Iceland to meet the iconic Icelandic horse, where herds of horses are being brought back home following a summer of grazing in the valley. ⛰️

Wow! Thank you for this lovely video! ❤
i thought the Vikings had fjord horses, Nice to hear you do not start training until they are three beautiful video { love everyones sweaters)
Fjord horses is a younger breed
Fjords are Norwegian Vikings horses, not icelandics :)
WOW! Thank you for having us with you at this special moment! Greetings from Sweden!
They seem very similar to the 'Traveling' horses of the Middle Ages in conformation and gaited movement.
Im curious how they got their pinto coats, did vikings really have pintos?
Pinto is an American word. Piebald in the UK.
Color coats are a product of domestication and human selection.
Do other breeds.
If america is bying this horse the horse can not stay whitowt food , let them comme for foal and go to america....
Could happen, but to echo the sentiments of that blond girl in the beginning of the video, the breed should retain all the unique qualities (e.g. THICK, beautiful manes, friendliness, etc.) are due to their (literal) environment in Iceland, so maybe that's why Icelandic government policy is VERY strict when it comes to import/export policies.
As an American who spent his formative years in beautiful southern Maine, on a 90-acre farm, I am a BIG animal lover, so while raising a handful of Icelandic Horses on Maine land probably wouldn't change their appearance much due to Maine also having cold temperatures, but over time maybe their appearance changes a bit? Who knows. But I understand Iceland being very strict, because it's easily one of the most beautiful breeds of horse in the world. And maybe only in Iceland can they can turn out the way they do..
