My Icelandics and Fjord get along well too, probably because they all are
Viking horses! :)

Funny how some of us have noted the similarities, the only other breed of
horse I have let me horse-crazy, horse-loving, husband bring home is an
Icelandic. We have 2 (and one on the way) and I find them more reserved and
and WAY FASTER than the

Icelandics are "Gaited", that is have several other gaits than the walk,
trot and canter. I am not quite sure what foot fall the "tolt" has..a
running walk? But they do have the "Flying pace", where bot

Hi Vanessa,
The tolt is done by Icelandics. It is a smooth gait that is fast, but
allows you to carry a glass of water without spilling a drop - it's so
smooth! I'm told that it is good for riders with back pr

Hi Everyone,
Someone asked me yesterday whether Fjords did the 'tolt'. They then surmised
that maybe it was Icelandic Ponies who did that.
As I'm new to Fjords and hadn't heard of this could someone tell me what the
'tolt' is and which b

Hi all:
I don't know why it would seem so "odd" to many that Icelandics come in all
the colors of the equine rainbow (so to speak). They are NOT alone in this.

They can be any color variation.
I think an icy crossed with a fjord would be cute.
