Our Last Reykjavic day

Sheep's head with a sweatband...
Reykjavic and Fjord

We had a fast paced last day in Iceland. The Icelandic Horse is pure bred, no outside horse has been interbred with an Icelandic Horse since the Vikings arrived and brought horses from Scandinavia. They are small, shaggy and super playful. They are the only types of horse aside from an Argentine breed that 'Tolt'- a type of gait between a trot and run, making them very efficient for long distance travel with big Viking people on their backs. We were able to ride on our last day...but they made us wear space suits...but we got caught in a small blizzard so they did keep us warm!
We will post more pictures to sum up our trip, so stay posted
