I Took Photos Of Icelandic Horses (6 Pics)

ADVERTISEMENT

I've spent the last few summers going to Iceland and photographing their native horse breed, the Icelandic horse. It is believed to be the oldest horse breed in the world. It is also one of the purest horse breeds in the world. This is because the breed has been isolated on the island for over 1000 years.

The first horses were brought to the island by the Vikings and since then, no new horses have been brought to the island. When the Vikings first arrived in Iceland, they could only bring a limited amount of horses. Therefore, only the best horses were brought to the island.

These horses might not be very big in size but they are mighty. They are very powerful and they have a great temperament. Enjoy these pictures of this beautiful breed in their home, the volcanic island of Iceland.

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).

I have the hide of an Icelandic horse. My mom gave it to me. She and my grandparents used to live there. I'd rather have the actual horse though. A little fyi about Icelandic horses: Once they are transported out of the country, for any reason, they can never be returned. It's to prevent importing any kind of disease that could sicken or kill the native herds. Also, no other horse breeds are allowed in Iceland. This is to keep them 100% purebred.
