My name is Liga Liepina and I spend all my free time doing equine photography. Born in Latvia, I moved to Iceland at the age of 14. I have been obsessed with horses since I can remember myself. It started with collecting all possible newspaper clippings, posters, and calendars of horses and once I had my first-ever riding lesson, I knew horses were going to be a huge part of my life.
A lot of work goes into creating images like these―from coming up with an idea to bringing horses to locations (these places must be accessible and safe for animals), not to mention the Icelandic weather, which is full of surprises. But it's all worth it when I get to spend time out in nature with my equine models and witness how horses and the landscape complement each other. You can follow my work on Instagram.

I love the contrast. The horse is doing as much for the background as it is for him.

More fun Icelandic horse facts: Once Icelandic horses leave the island, they are not allowed to return. This helps protect the genetic pool of Icelandic horses. Unlike other horses that typically have 4 gaits, the Icelandic horse has a unique 5th gait called tölt. Beautiful animals.

Icelandic horses are a super-cool breed! They're kind of all over the place in terms of use and conformation (some are for riding, some are for meat, and some are for draft use) but they have a lot of primitive characteristics that are typical of true wild horses (of which only Przewalski's is the only example left) and have been left feral for so long that natural selection is a huge factor. I'm so glad to see them getting some love because they're truly fascinating animals.

What lovely photos. You did a great job in showing them looking happy and interested in their environment - and each other - and not bothered by a photographer. I hope you don't mind that I'm using the landscape ones as my computer background. They make me smile every time the picture changes.

These are beautiful but I do have one question. Are these horses an actual breed or are they just horses that are common in Iceland? Also does anyone know any of the places in these picture? Thanks. :)
