The Icelandic horse has become popular outside of Iceland for being easy-going and friendly. In fact, they are famous for their temperament. Icelandic horses are often treated very much as members of the family and are not generally subjected to the strict riding form and discipline as other types of horses. So their easy temperament may just come from a more relaxed lifestyle. This Icelandic lives in the hills of Aptos, California.
