Equus islandicus

What is it that draws all these people to the Icelandic horse?

Every Year thousands of travellers come to Iceland, a small island located in the middle of the North-Atlantic ocean, up by the Arctic Circle, in order to spend time riding the Icelandic horse on exciting journeys in the beautiful Icelandic landscape.

This documentary short had its premiere at the Epona Equestrian film festival in Cabourg, France.
