Description
"Girls with Icelandic Horses" by Catherine Sherman.
Icelandic horses greet two girls at a farm in a valley in Iceland. Mountains stand majestically beyond.
Developed from ponies brought to Iceland by Norse settlers in the 9th and 10th centuries, the breed is featured in literature and historical records throughout Icelandic history. The Icelandic horse breed has a double coat developed for extra insulation in cold temperatures. To preserve the breed, Icelandic law prevents horses from being imported into the country and exported animals are not allowed to return.
