The hearty Icelandic Horse is a breed that has been pure for over a thousand years. Their shaggy coats render them tolerant of the island's weather, and they stay outside year-round. A stocky creature, the horse is pony-like, bearing a friendly, furry face rather than the chiseled angles of an Arabian. They're beautiful, with thick rock-star manes billowing in the strong wind, and standing humbly and stoically in their beautiful homeland.
