The Icelandic Horse is an incredibly smooth ride. Riding at a fast speed carrying full beer mugs without spilling a drop is a trademark of the breed. The lateral gaits of the Icelandic Horse are very spectacular and comfortable to ride, yet their greatest asset is the extra surefootedness added by the horse's ability to move it's feet in any order. The Icelandic Horse is fun and exciting to ride, yet unpretentious. The Icelandic horse can maneuver safely through all kinds of terrain.
Icelandic horses are also very long-lived.
