Icelandic Horse (Not Ponies!)


Don't call them ponies!  The Icelandic horse may be small but the people of Iceland will not accept you calling them ponies.  These horses are long-lived and hardy.  In their native country they have few diseases; Icelandic law prevents horses from being imported and exported animals are not allowed to return.

Minor edits were done to this photo using the Formula app on the iPad.
