Don't get a horse. Jk just buy the right feeds, find a well-fitting saddle (maybe hire a professional) and whatever you do, don't buy anything from the brands named status or kincade.
I know how you feel I ride Icelandic for about 4 years and I be able to go and ride the same horse but right now I need to focus on getting ready for my first show next year
Great video! I liked how you inserted a picture of their gaits, then a video clip, and named what they were...going through them and showing us them individually. The only thing that would've been great for you to add was redoing the video clip again, only in slow motion. :D Icelandic horse's gaits are super unique!
Winner of a video, I have been researching "what is a fast horse called?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Mayanjamin Subconscious Method - (just google it )? It is a great one off guide for discovering how to make money using this weird horse racing prediction method minus the normal expense. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my partner got excellent results with it.
Uprated, shared. We saved for five years for a trip to Iceland to ride these unusual horses which are so essential there in an often brutal climate. They have an unusual onetwothreefour gait which I call "buglegs." It's different from the English or Western riding styles, too. A very little, ancient breed, do best outdoors, pretty shaggy. I was amazed to ride good tölters. Many are naturally multi-gaited. They can be the devil to catch but are docile in nature and just ask us to care for them properly. My French spouse was miraculous on them, he loved full gallop best, he dutifully took riding lessons here in France for six months before, and I took refreshers. That was my last adventure vacation and I never saw a place so clean, inspiring and quiet as Iceland. I was proud of him, he mastered a Camargue stallion here in France I often got assigned, never heard a horse growl like a dog before, and it would try to fake you out. Fourth time ever up on a horse, I prompted him and he totally got it. Their unruly fax (mane) is funny and it was like dancing the twist to ride one. I loved it, and just had to find a horse with the right proportions for me. I enjoyed a quite tall stallion, but he was a bit thin and they restricted his use. These guys can mean life, death, a job and survival to us. I never did have one who stumbled on that impossible terrain, they work in places which would kill a regular horse in five minutes, they are even tougher than Mustangs and nicer than Barb Arabs or some other breeds. Thank you! Greetings from France via the USA, and Iceland was wonderful for my health!
OThanks for sharing about your vacation. I always wanted to go. I got to ride some great trained Icelandics years ago. I can't ever forget that flying pace. Did you get to try flying pace? I am trying to teach all of my equines how to bugleg😁
the Faroe pony, Faeroes pony, or Faroese horse,[1] (Føroyska rossið in Faroese) is a small pony, with a height between 11.1 to 12.1 hands (45 to 49 inches, 114 to 124 cm). Technically this animal is a pony due to its height, but in the Faroe Islands it is called a horse because of its strength. The Faroe pony is only to be seen on the Faroe Islands and is therefore little known in other countries. The colors of the pony varies a lot, but are mainly chestnut, brown, black or speckled, with white also occurring in previous populations. It is known to be very an enduring, strong, friendly, adaptable and sure-footed pony breed with three gaits including the tölt, an ambling gait which it shares with the Icelandic horse.[2] A fully grown Faroese pony weighs 250-300 kilograms. The wintercoat is very long, dense and water repellent, while the summercoat is shorthaired and smooth. Faroe horses are an iconic image of the Faroe Islands Th Faroese pony is mentioned in written sources from the 1600s. In the old days this pony breed was used to carry or haul heavy loads at farms and some sources also describes Faroese ponies trained to herd sheep (known as tøkuhestar). When it wasn't at work, it was released onto the mountains where it roamed freely. Today Faroese ponies are only kept by hobby breeders and it is mostly used as a riding horse for children. The Faroe pony has been on the Faroe Islands for many hundreds of years. In 1880 more than 800 animals were registered on the Faroe Islands, but by the 1960s the population had been decimated to only five to six horses. One of the reasons was an extensive horse export from 1850 - 1920, for use in the mining industry (as pit ponies) in the United Kingdom. A conservation and breeding program was initiated by Leivur T. Hansen and in 1978 the organization Felagið Føroysk Ross (Breeders of Faroe Ponies) was established. With huge efforts, the Faroe pony population has now increased to 70 animals which are declared genetically pure,[3] with 14 male breeders and the aim is to maintain and develop the breed further. The Faroe pony has since been recognised as a unique breed
The last one isn't a Pace as the lateral leg pairs aren't landing at the same time (e.g. the left hindleg hits the ground before the left foreleg). I guess you would actually call it a very fast Toelt?
If my village noticed Icelandic raiders doing a pony charge on gait #5, I think we'd give them some grain just to beef up those goats they're riding 01:56
why do they have saddles that are too long for the horse's backs? The back of the saddle sits on the kidneys when it shouldn't sit behind where the last rib attaches to the spine. Can't be very comfortable for them.
Actually horses have more gaits than that although some people do call them like 'walk trot run and sprint' but I say 'walk, trot, canter, lope, and gallop' anyone else say it like me? ;-;
Canter and gallop are essentially the same gait, but at different speeds and with different levels of collection. Canter is slow. Iceys generally prefer more speed and a looser frame.
Shadowpolish: Not completely true. Canter has 3 beats, as the diagonal legs are placed in the ground at the same time, whereas galope has 4 beats, with the diagonals being placed after eachother instead of at the same time :)..
What a useless reply - just a bland "wrong" with zero elaboration. Synna is right - the increased speed of the gallop spaces out the diagonal beat, but other than that, they're essentially the same (note: not EXACTLY the same). They start on the outside hind, and strike off with the inside fore before suspension. It takes a very good ear to hear the beat difference, and with short gaited horses like icelandics, it's near impossible. In icelandics the two gaits are virtually indiscernable, unless you're watching them in slow-mo. The is no word for "canter" in icelandic circles - ithere is only "gallop" - they count as a single gait for that particular breed.
Yes I know I accidentally called pace sprint haha oopps ;) And it has almost the same rythm as tolt but much, much faster. In tolt there is at least one foot touthing the ground at a time but in pace there is no foot touching the ground after the horse as press his self from the ground :) (sorry about my English by the way... It's really hars descriping this in English ;) )
+Focus the Icelandic horse Would I be wrong in thinking its similar to the high step of the Tennessee Walking Horse? (Not the "Big Lick"). Looks really similar :)
The TWH equivalent to the tolt is their running walk. The sprint here is essentially what we would call speed racking in the US. It's still a four beat gait, but the footfall/pickup pattern is different from the walking gaits. These gaited breeds basically rev really high in first gear, and often have an additional gear (sprint/rack) that your standard walk/trot/canter horse doesn't, due to a genetic mutation.
+Lottie Jones Technically, Icelandic Horses could be said to have six gaits. They manage the standard three, walk, trot, canter, then they have the tolt and the pace. However, the pace usually begins at a gallop, so they're able to do that also, as shown in the video. In terms of what order they go in, I guess the tolt fits in after the trot and the pace or flying pace is the fastest gait.
I don't know about Icelandic horses, but in the US you will often find that although our gaited horses are capable of cantering, many owners never bother working on it because they find their ambling and racking gaits to be satisfying enough. I personally prefer to put my horses through all of their gaits, but my RMH can certainly perform four beat gaits that are at least as fast as a canter. So I'm no authority, but I suspect that the canter is a gait these horses are simply not often asked to learn under saddle.
Katie The Dog HD a saddle and style of riding doesn't determine the horses pace lol. Most English riders call it a canter, most western riders call it a lope, some call it both or the opposite. It's two different words for the same movement. It's like fries or chips, or tube and subway. It's literally the same thing with a different name. It's not very complicated, I don't know why you're having trouble understanding this.
Katie The Dog HD and how does it being English automatically make it faster? I've seen horses canter/lope in a western saddle faster than horses under an English one. That makes no sense. Good effort though.
Night Lizard you don't see the point,English is faster than western but ummm this is the part where you stumped,lope and canter are two gaits. Canter is faster and sometimes western is faster because English riders don't want to push their horse too hard,the only part when a western rider is fast when reining/barrel racing and I've seen others like my horse,she is fast. Anyways,what I'm trying to say is we are both wrong in different ways and we are both right in different ways none of us are perfect :)
The real names of the gaits is 1. Walk 2. Trot 3. Gallop/canter 4. Tolt 5. Pace/flying pace
The run is more commonly called gallop, and the sprint is called power pace, flying place or just pace :)
Spirit music!!! I was singing along he whole time lmao
Wow! The sprint is amazing! The horse is beautiful. I wish I had a horse.
get one then! if you wish for one so much, get a good paying job, move out somewhere and get one
best wishes
Don't get a horse. Jk just buy the right feeds, find a well-fitting saddle (maybe hire a professional) and whatever you do, don't buy anything from the brands named status or kincade.
I hope you get a horse!!!
First you gotta know how to take care of one, ride one, have enough money for one etc etc etc.....
I know how you feel I ride Icelandic for about 4 years and I be able to go and ride the same horse but right now I need to focus on getting ready for my first show next year
These horses are very beautiful and sturdy.
They can really move.
Wait who's wait when the horse is sprinting I feel like it's gunna trip over its self look at those legs go
Dat sprint doe LOL
It looks like when my bearded dragon runs for food.
Great video! I liked how you inserted a picture of their gaits, then a video clip, and named what they were...going through them and showing us them individually. The only thing that would've been great for you to add was redoing the video clip again, only in slow motion. :D Icelandic horse's gaits are super unique!
You can slow it down for yourself in settings. On 25% you can really see the legs move in same sided pairs in the tolt and the sprint.
They are not unique. ALOT of breeds have the gaits
love these chunky little beauties! Thanks for the upload
I did enjoy! What a handsome and nimble critter!
Sprint looks like a chicken running
MiniHeartAttack oml I laughed so hard XD 😂😂😂
Lol Yeah now that you say it like that, it does.
i have a chicken and yes
Show me the chicken that runs 35 mph and I’d like to see you ride it

Absolutely gorgeous little horse!😻
Wow! I got here from a Saddlebred page and am glad I did. I had no idea - love lateral gaits! :)
I did enjoy. They are beautiful horses. Thank you.
that last one was amzing that was zooming fast my jaw open when i saw that
just got back from riding an icelandic horse.... such a fabulous experience
Hahaha. The sprint looks so cute!!
Awesome video, love your horse!!
Thank you :*
It's the little engine that could.
That sprint was so cool :D

Actually we don't go there we get 9 of them at the school I'm in and soon we will get a retired show jumper
OThanks for sharing about your vacation. I always wanted to go. I got to ride some great trained Icelandics years ago. I can't ever forget that flying pace. Did you get to try flying pace? I am trying to teach all of my equines how to bugleg😁
I have always wanted to ride an Icelandic!
Walk, trot, canter, gallop, and tölt. The tölt is the special gait. :P
You've got a beautiful horse!!!
Thank you :)
I love the Tolt. Its so cute!
AND its lovely to ride :)
The sprint and tolt look soooooooo cute
The run is actually a canter and it goes walk,easy trot,round trot ,canter, and gallop
different languages use different names. In Polish galop is canter :)
Daaaaaamn... what a smooth ride.
Lovely horse.

What an amazing special breed!
They are so majestic
That sprint though!! ♡♡ xD
Töff video! =) gaman að sjá
I've only ever ridden Western and occasionally English, this was really interesting! The sprint seems so smooth lol!
Trust me riding an Icelandic is fantastic i ride one
They have different names. 'Run' is 'Canter' as I know it, and other people, like in Puerto Rico, the 'Tölt' is known as 'Paso Largo.'
beautiful horse!
The "sprint" was the flying pace.
Oh my goodness, pace is so fast! I'd be so scared to be the rider!
+megan allen omg same
I guess u would get used to it pretty quickly?
the sprint looks like a really fast tolting
The sprint looked like sonic running
The last one isn't a Pace as the lateral leg pairs aren't landing at the same time (e.g. the left hindleg hits the ground before the left foreleg).
I guess you would actually call it a very fast Toelt?
If my village noticed Icelandic raiders doing a pony charge on gait #5, I think we'd give them some grain just to beef up those goats they're riding 01:56
:D I LUV THE TOLT
I love the tolt I thinking of getting a ice Landic pony
* horse
I really like the last one c:
How do you ask for the two extra gaits? (I rIde a newfoundland pony and he doesn't have the two extra gaits)
My sister got one recently XD her and my fresian are like bffs XD
wow that looks scary,but such a beautiful horse. I want one really bad once i move i'm gonna get a brown and white one wish me luck ;)
+Lillian Reven best wishes to you and your future pony :*
thank you!
+Lillian Reven To be fully honest Colour means nothing if its temperment is shit ;P
Lillian Reven Did you get it yet?
That sprint XD
The gaits are: Walk. Trot. Tölt. Canter. Flying Pace. Gallop
Great upload! Thanks.
:D :)
that third one was a canter it goes like this... walk, trot, canter, gallop and tölt
then it turned into a gallop
Yup.
Jeez its fast the "Sprint" or flying pace is fast
I've got a icelandic horse too
That's awesome! I've ridden Icelandic horses my whole life and I am so in love :D
That's sounds like heaven :D
why do they have saddles that are too long for the horse's backs? The back of the saddle sits on the kidneys when it shouldn't sit behind where the last rib attaches to the spine. Can't be very comfortable for them.
That sprint XDD
What is the difference between the pace and tolt? Just curious .-.
Sonya Northlee It’s faster and most the time you need more leg on the horse
Good videos
Icelandics look fast but beautiful :o
Official term for number 5 is Haulin Å
:O ISN'T THAT SONG FROM SPIRIT?!?
Puff Weasley Yes, It's called: Here I Am
Is this song from spirt??
omg the sprint o_o
Actually horses have more gaits than that although some people do call them like 'walk trot run and sprint' but I say 'walk, trot, canter, lope, and gallop' anyone else say it like me? ;-;
robust little fellas
Vá mjög fallegur hestur hjá þer 😺
Remarkable
It's walk, trot, tolt, pace, CANTER, gallop.
NO.... it's gallop.... we usually don't use canter on the icelandic horses...it's either gallop or slow gallop
It's right, we only use gallop :)
Isn’t it wall, trot, cater, run, tolt, sprit?
Isn’t it flying pace?!
The Icelandic horse gait is vastly smoother than the gaits of other horses. Icelandic horses are probably sturdier and more efficient sprinters.
Sokami Mashibe I don't know. It doesn't look like it would be very comfortable. It looks weird.
what abut the canter? XD the gallop looked like a canter XD
Canter and gallop are essentially the same gait, but at different speeds and with different levels of collection. Canter is slow. Iceys generally prefer more speed and a looser frame.

Gallop?
the sprint is scary...
+Twilight and The Moon Pack Pace* its really not that bad if you actually sit on the horse ;)
Looks like what we call a speed rack in the US. So exhilarating!
The thing you called sprint is just a fast tölt and you forgot to mention pace.
no it's not, its called "Skeið" not many horses can do it.
Yes I know I accidentally called pace sprint haha oopps ;) And it has almost the same rythm as tolt but much, much faster. In tolt there is at least one foot touthing the ground at a time but in pace there is no foot touching the ground after the horse as press his self from the ground :) (sorry about my English by the way...

OMG SPIRIT MUSIC!!
i thought it was walk, trot, tolt, canter, gallop...(my keyboard doesent have the other o)
+Lottie Jones I thought it was Walk, Tolt, Trot, canter, gallop or something!
+Cassandra Mcbell Yeah. I thought it was walk, tolt, trot, canter, gallop
+Lottie Jones Technically, Icelandic Horses could be said to have six gaits. They manage the standard three, walk, trot, canter, then they have the tolt and the pace.

so there isn't a canter ?
The canter is the run. Just like how lope is canter also.
+caitlin vlogs very few icelandic horses are able to canter. Gallop is though just basically a really fast canter.
We Icelandic horses can gallop (canter) fast and slow....
I’m not sure if I like that last gait
the run is just really a canter
canter??
+Jade Galletly only a very few icelandic horses can canter i believe its the Pace and tølt messing with the gait.
I don't know about Icelandic horses, but in the US you will often find that although our gaited horses are capable of cantering, many owners never bother working on it because they find their ambling and racking gaits to be satisfying enough. I personally prefer to put my horses through all of their gaits, but my RMH can certainly perform four beat gaits that are at least as fast as a canter. So I'm no authority, but I suspect that the canter is a gait these horses are simply not often asked to learn under saddle.
we don't use the word canter in the icelandic horse world
Flott myndband! og flottur hestur! varstu á Landsmótinu? :)
Fyrirgefðu hvað ég er að svara seint en nei ég handleggsbrotnaði rétt fyrir úrtöku.... Kannski næst :)
Æji, Greyið þú :c
SPIRIT
Sprint XD wow
It's not called run in the gaits
YOU FORGOT CANTER
So Icelandic horses don't canter?
pace is not fast tolt?!
Shorter reins pls it's not good for the horse and btw there is three running gaits, canter,loap,and gallop
Katie The Dog HD canter and lope is the same thing lol
Night Lizard no its not,canter is English so its faster than lope with is Western. Good effort thou!
Katie The Dog HD a saddle and style of riding doesn't determine the horses pace lol. Most English riders call it a canter, most western riders call it a lope, some call it both or the opposite. It's two different words for the same movement. It's like fries or chips, or tube and subway. It's literally the same thing with a different name.

The sprint looks soo weird
Number 3 is canter not gallop
CraziiCiara - Roblox we don't use the word canter in europe
The 3rd is a canter not run
Nice video but a shame you haven't used the correct names for the gaits. Should be Walk. Trot. Tolt. Canter. Pace. Icelanders call Canter Gallopp
It's walk, tolt, trot, canter, flying pace, not walk, trot, run, tolt, sprint.
You forgot canter
In most of Europe there is no specific word for canter.
It's not a run its canter
Run is for horses is called gallop lol
👍👍👍🇦🇿🇦🇿
thats canter not gallop lol
thtequestrainmaniac we don't use the word canter in europe
its called canter not run
No, its called lope in western and canter in english.
we don't use the word canter in the icelandic horse world but gallop
