Temperament of the Icelandic horse:
These little horses have a rugged beauty and willful mind. There is much to admire in their independent, proud, and primal nature. They can be obstinate and need a confident rider. They don't tolerate micromanagement or coercion from their rider. When given adequate freedom and positive reinforcement, they will share some of their fire with you!

Gaits of the Icelandic horse:
Icelandics are born with the ability to be 4 or 5 gaited. They walk, trot, tolt, canter, and pace (5 gaited only) There is a large range of gait ability from one horse to the next. Not all horses will be able to gait easily with a novice rider. Extremes range from a horse showing no gait at all, to a horse that is stuck in pace. Gaits may be mixed together with no consistency. Proper training 'brings out the gait' in 4 gaited horses, and separates/defines the gaits. Even after training, many horses require rider management to maintain clean gaits. Most 4 gaited horses have a smooth trot, even if tolting is challenging.


The average height is 13.2 hands
