The Icelandic horse arrived in Iceland with the settlers, is of Mongolian origin and related to the Norwegian Lyngshest. The main characteristic of the Icelandic horse is great composure, diligence and endurance. He may not be as big as other horse breeds but is strong, healthy and can handle all kinds of weather. The Icelandic horse has five gaits called walk, trot, gallop, t\u00f6lt and pace. Equestrianism is a popular hobby and is enjoyed by people of all ages. The role of the horse has therefore changed from being the main transportation of people in centuries to being ridden for amusement and pleasure. People in the countryside still ride horses while shepherding and have since the settlers settled in Iceland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1616,"template":"","class_list":["post-3950","animal","type-animal","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nIcelandic horse - mu.is<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/mu.is\/en\/animal\/icelandic-horse\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Icelandic horse - mu.is\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Icelandic horse arrived in Iceland with the settlers, is of Mongolian origin and related to the Norwegian Lyngshest.
