Icelandic horses relaxing in herd

The horses paw and prance and neigh,
Fillies and colts like kittens play,
And dance and toss their rippled manes
Shining and soft as silken skeins;…
~Oliver Wendell Holmes

Icelandic horses in Iceland are kept in herds in open pasture to grow up and mature. The herd dynamics develop a naturally socialized horse. They are started under saddle when they are 5 years old.
