Larger than a Shetland but smaller than a quarter horse, Icelandics are pleasant, patient, and purebred... the government has laws against importation of any other breed to this small island nation.
I now have a Facebook friend in southern Alberta who has a ranch for Icelandic horses near the foothills of the Canadian Rockies. I've told her not to be surprised if I suddenly show up for some horse hugs.

I can imagine the good vibes.
Sweet horse, wonderful photos. Have a happy weekend!

They are appealing - you could use that old fashioned trick of climbing on from a 'mounting block'. I'd be snoozing in that spring sunshine too! YAM xx
They are adorable, Kay!
Such a cute horse, waiting patiently. I do like horses, although I never went through a real horse phase as so many girls did (and still do, I imagine).
Oh Kay, I should visit Iceland or your friend's ranch to try and bond with these dear horses. Although I love all animals, including horses, I was always and still am afraid of horses. This didn't stop me in the mid-nineties though, to ride a huge stallion for 43kms across the Free State maize fields in a fun ride! Hope you, Dick and dear Lindy are doing well and having a great weekend. Jo xxx
I have never been too close to horses either, but these look really friendly!
I love horses and love the shots, they look so sweet natured.
I love our neighbour's horses!
