"Symbol of survival, the Icelandic horse served as the only transport for a thousand years. Purebred descendants of stock brought by ninth-century Viking settlers, the much loved, five-gaited horses are now ridden for pleasure and in farmers' annual sheep roundups."
(Text from "Iceland: Life Under the Glaciers," February 1987, National Geographic magazine)
