[EVERYTHING!!! Icelandic horses have 5 gaits - most breeds only
have 3. They have amazing temperaments, are very people
orientated, easy to handle, very hardy and are fun and rewarding to
ride and own. Its so hard to describe why they are so special ...
but those who have met, ridden or ever owned an icelandic horse
know what we are talking about!]
[Tolt is a four beat lateral gait. Very similar to the walk where
there is always at least one foot on the ground. It is extremely
comfortable to ride as there is no suspension. Tolt can be ridden
very slow or up to speeds of a canter. Tolt is a natural gait. Tolt
is fun, fun, fun! ]
[In Australia and New Zealand Icelandic horses cost anything from
about $AUS $5,000 to $15,000 +.(Though prices may vary a little
between breeders.) Prices can vary between horses because of sex,
age, breeding value, riding abilities and how much they have been
trained. Please feel free to browse our For Sales page or to contact
us for more information on buying Icelandic horses. ]
[We've found them really easy to care for. They usually have
great feet, good health, and do well without too much extra feeding.
They come fully rugged in their winter fluff so most of them wont
need any other rugging in the cold.]
[It depends on the particular conditions of where you live. But
ours in Victoria do well in winter (its wet and windy down here) and
in summer we have shade provided but usually find them sunbathing
instead! ]
