The tolt looks so comfortable for the rider and horse both. The horses are adorable. I'm used to mini horses (driving) and Thoroughbreds. Amazing gaits. (Jan Griffiths).
Not many horses outside Iceland can do that gait. It does occur though. I had a horse who could. Wonderfully comfortable, and stylish to watch. We called it a triple gait.
My horse was just a good hack, but I think he showed a tendency to 'triple' as it is called in South Africa early on, and my father encouraged him to do it on command. It is a man-trained gait, but some horses find it more easily than others.
@@patriciastapleton2625 so you're from south africa 🙂 are there also wide plains there? You are very fortunate to have such a horse. I wonder why most people don't breed horses to have such a gait?
Icelandic Horses are a versatile breed. We would love to do a few more episodes on them if owners and breeders were interested. Send inquiries to Info@HorseTVToday.com to get the ball rolling.
Pasofino is also a race of horses that make very naturally tolt and are trained in the Us and South America to make much smaller steps, but instead Iceland horses are trained to be very fast and powerful.

Becoming a fan of the icelandic horse...their gaits are amazing...🐎
Had no idea these existed, and now I'm binge watching everything I can find because of a TH-cam short 🤪... their gaits have me fascinated 🤯
Just got home from Iceland. Got to go riding a d lovsd the tolt. It is a wonderful trail riding gait.
What a wonderful gait! The riders are just sitting there!

I used to own an Icelandic horse that was really strong on the tolt so he would always tolt instead of trot. It made of really comfortable rides.
We love this video! Icelandic Horses are the best!!🥰🐎🐎

Our Pleasure, thank you for your kind comments!
Can someone help me understand the differences between the Tølt and the Fino?
They are both 4 beat gaits, but completely different aesthetically

@laurencesaez5300 thank you!
So the hooves do fall in the same pattern with both? Just that the Fino is collected and the Tølt is extended?

Does the tolt have to be taught, or is it a natural gait?
Absolutly natural
