Speed. Elegance. Gaits. Beauty. Poseidon was said to have "created" the horses when Zeus asked him to create "the most beautiful of animals." No doubt Freya (the norse goddess) felt compelled to alter her "distant brother's" creation with the Icelandic horse, the most noble, elegant and sweet of horses. She must have thought the personality of loyal companion suited these smooth-gaited young horses. Personality, Personality — and Looks Too! On KD Farms our stallions mingle, always playful, never fighting. Our mares and foals are one lovely, social herd that results in that most well-disposed of horses, the Icelandic. Oh, certainly, people think of Icelandics for their smooth gaits and their adorable looks and their long flowing manes and tails. The real reason to take an Icelandic as a riding companion is personality. They offer unreserved love. They're Growing Up As we watch our first three seasons of foals grow up we realize just how hard they will be to sell. They're family now. There's Fyrstur, the first one, nobly born of Braggur and Bjarta, with his curious, friendly eyes and his incredible loving personality, a future stud champion. And Elska, the first of our girls, who will not leave you alone if she spies a brush in your hand. And the stunning ones, with those incredible looks — Skuggi and Aldin and Ostara — with tails that brush the ground and manes that fly with the slightest breeze. And our little Christmas present Joyla, who would move into the house if given a chance, now two years old, but still so playful. Tildra follows people like a loyal puppy. Has there ever been a prettier horse than Unna? Sifa is always the first to run over for attention. Listur's the cutie. Arcturus is friendly, yet noble, a born athlete, and Kostur carries himself with royal elegance. Yes, They Are For Sale. At some point they must find new families. What do we look for? Someone who wants an Icelandic horse and none other, preferably experienced. If not experienced, willing to be properly trained. Our horses can only go to homes with other horses; they're too social for non-herd environments. They should be kept pastured, not stalled. More than any other horse they need daily love, and their own kind.
