horses of other gaited breeds DO use these ambling gaits naturally when loose in a pasture (I have personally witnessed this in Tennessee Walking Horses and Paso Finos). I don't know if a lot of research has been done on the evolution of gaits, but it makes sense that all forms of locomotion must have had some form of natural selection for them to exist at all. Even some trotting breeds will occasionally amble, given a good reason to do so, usually related to being off-balance or being asked to perform a trot in a manner too fast or too slow for the horse's ability. None of this can I give you a source document for, however. LOL!

there isn't much else out there, the less obnoxious forms are acceptable. For example, the Google ads down the side of iceryder.com are not what disqualified it, it was the content of the site itself. To take another example, a forum buried within a breed registry site (there are member forums and marketplace pages in most registry sites) does not disqualify the whole site, but a link directly to the chat forum is not acceptable, nor would a link to a chat forum web site that was mostly ads, bulletin boards, chat rooms and a reprint of a wikipedia article for "educational materials" be acceptable.

the characteristics of a breed nor portray an ideal individual. Sorry to disappoint, but if that was your own photo, you need to just take a deep breath and let it go. It's a great example of a horse with a heavy winter coat. But the photo is not a good example of the breed characteristics of an Icelandic horse. (Even if the animal, shed off, groomed and properly set up happens to be a good example in real life). This is an ongoing problem in wikipedia, not enough properly composed horse images for a lot of articles, a lot of decently composed images that are of poor technical quality. Sigh...

preference multiplier function), if you feel it would help. To me, the picture appears quite nicely sized, and I am able to see the various horses quite clearly. If you think that one of the other pictures is better for another reason, please let me know. Also, the orange ears are very funky - is this a natural coloring, or did someone get out the hair dye? I like the image of the multiple horses being led by one guy, but I'm not really sure where to put it in the article without squeezing the other images. Thoughts?

Here, the article was begun in US English and has been edited for years in US English. I personally do not care deeply about the issue, but if anyone wants to change it, they need to go through the whole article with a fine-toothed comb, and please only do so AFTER consensus is reached. And here, there is not a consensus to change it. My vote is to stay with US English.

breed literature also claimed Icelandics did not kick, spook, buck - and there seems to be a current shift in the description of the body frame for their tolt gait (whole nuther issue sorry). Anyway, 'Icelandics are typically not trained under saddle until the age of four or five, when they are considered physically and mentally mature' is correct, but the part about being late maturing and/or later maturing than other breeds has not been, and in my opinion cannot be, proven, and is misleading.

every horse) has that comfortable gait. However, I haven't really come across any information that discusses this phenomenon in the Icelandic in particular. With this question, and the others above, if other editors/readers have reliable sources that discuss this information in this breed, I would be more than happy to add the information to the article. Just let me know what the source is...
875:
registries as far as I can tell, there may be others. By and large, their commercial links are not on the home page, it's a separate link. Eidfaxi appears to be a major professional publication about Icelandic horses, there may be others, but it looks similar to other breed magazines, with some ads on the home page, which is annoying, but typical, and they do not promote a single vendor.
1945: 907:. Frankly, IMHO, the 14.2 hand "horse/pony" cutoff dichotomy is a rather false one, given that I have, for example, personally seen 13.2 Arabian "horses" and 15.3 Fjord "ponies." Chincoteague "ponies" are unquestionably horse in phenotype, and grow horse-sized under domestication, yet one could make an argument that the triangular head and heavy forelock of the old "Justin Morgan" style 974:"...the 14.2 hand "horse/pony" cutoff dichotomy is a rather false one, given that I have, for example, personally seen 13.2 Arabian "horses" and 15.3 Fjord "ponies." Absolutely; agree. My 14.3h Icelandic's height does not transform him into a horse; and my 14h Tennessee Walker will never exhibit pony characteristics. Height is not the determining factor. 1749:, it's long but contains lots of info. The section on skeletal maturity begins on page 6. Published references are on page 21, including a paper from the 'American Journal of Veterinary Research' and a reference book called 'Science in Archaeology', and others dealing with bone growth data, which she summarizes and diagrams in her article. 2467:"About 900 years ago, attempts were made to introduce eastern blood into the Icelandic, resulting in a degeneration of the stock. In 982 AD the Icelandic Althing (parliament) passed laws prohibiting the importation of horses into Iceland, thus ending crossbreeding. The breed has now been bred pure in Iceland for more than 1,000 years" 1270:

I think I lost the battle to merge gallop into canter, yet we have the article
965:"As for the horse/pony question...in the English-speaking world, your view of the terminology appears to be a minority position..." It doesn't seem to be a minority on the email discussion list of 1200 members (doubly more than the number of members of the registry), who easily refer to their Icelandic equines as ponies. 1376:. This page, admittedly PR, says they have a friendly disposition and are willing to please. Other sites talk about their spiritedness, including the USA organization's "buyers checklist" that has some comments on "willingness" (except they don't explain what they really are talking about), but it's not great. 819:

That said, the first screen of Iceryder.net looks almost as POV and commercial as Iceryder.com until you scroll down a bit. That is weak web design, but not fatal.
2600:
I understand that Iceland doesn't allow their horses/ponies to come back to their native home of Iceland once they leave? This doesn't seem right. However, I saw one of your horses/ponies doing the "toit" and I would like to know if you "score" your horses/ponies to enable them to prance around with
1807:
In general, specific breeds have developed special gaits in response to human breeding selection, because they are more comfortable. People breed the horse with the most comfortable gait to another horse with a really comfortable gait, and in time, you end up with a breed where every horse (or almost

Small pixel size of a good quality horse in a classic frame (and it shows the color of the horse just fine) beats a technically perfect image of an ungroomed horse taken at a bad angle which distorted the image and made it look like it had no neck. So yes. An artsy featured image may not illustrate
1862:
No, (grin) it means that Iceland is a very difficult place to try and raise horses, and thus the ecosystem played a major role in the development of the breed. There may be room for some phrase tweaking, but there is little debate that the Icelandic horse developed some unique breed characteristics
1740:
I realize the breed literature says that, a quick search shows the same thing said about Andalusians, Lipizzaners, and several other horse breeds, often to explain why they are not trained under saddle until older, or in combination with claims about their longevity. Sources can be incorrect - early
1605:
All horses kick, domestic or feral or otherwise. Some horses and horse breeds have good dispositions and are less prone to kick, or require more provocation before they kick, but ANY horse will kick with sufficient reason. Icelandic horses are reputed to have good dispositions. Still, I would never

Improvements work for me, too. Good sourcing. As for canter/gallop, I doubt it will be fully resolved. They are both "leaping gaits" but they do have a slight difference in footfall, so good arguments both ways. (The difference between two Saddlebred ambling gaits, the singlefoot and the stepping
1201:
So does it have five or six gaits? I believe that in many languages/cultures there is no distinction made between canter and gallop, which would give ordinary horses three gaits and the Icelandic five – presumably this is where the lower numbers come from: essentially a translation error. However,

Per wikipedia conventions, whether UK or US English is used, generally the policy is that whichever form the article was started, that is the form that is kept unless there is a very strong consensus to change it. (Or some extremely logical reason, say an article is about England and thus should be

We have an educational Icelandic Horse email discussion list with over 1200 members, with 2000 posts per month. We have the IceHorse Rescue, working with and trying to place rescue or rehab Icelandics. We have the Icelandic Horse Pajama Project (for children of poverty), as well as other community
882:
As for the horse/pony question, your own site calls them "horses," acknowledging that "Horse" is an accepted term of art within the English language. I do not dispute that Icelandics have some "pony" characteristics. I also do not dispute the northern European DNA origins. Nonetheless, the bottom

A link the the iceryder.net site map would also not be acceptable under the wikipedia "no link farm" policy. (Thousands of articles, indeed! And wikipedia wants you do to the work of sorting through them for the reader!) Likewise, articles, for example, on Parelli training methods are POV for this

What does it mean? It says that it has remained pure for over 1000 years, but it also says that "900 years ago attempts were made to introduce eastern blood" and that in 982 importing of other horses was prohibited. It's written in a way that the event which took place 900 years ago happened before
1826:
Gaited horses in general are reputed to be surefooted. The "singlefoot" nature of the lateral ambling gaits is such that three of the four feet are always on the round, making for a very stable and secure form of locomotion. While I don't have a lot of specific info on Icelandics, I do know that
1752:
I do have two Icelandics, and I try to learn as much about them and horses in general, as I often get questions and I want to give people accurate information. There is information and misinformation out there, but I have no agenda aside from seeking knowledge and accuracy, I hope that's how I come
1667:
For the record, I question the amount of "risk" associated with duplication of information in a non-linear, digital context. The main issue with Knowledge is that slight (unintended) differences in a given piece of information (which should be unchanged from place to place) could be misleading, and

The difference is basically between sites promoting a breed in general, with an emphasis on education, versus sites promoting an individual farm. Sites containing commercial advertising from multiple advertisers are not ideal, but when they contain reputable educational materials, especially when

I'm not sure how much I agree with the inclusion of the sentence "Natural selection has also played a role, as the harsh Icelandic climate eliminated many horses through cold and starvation." Doesn't this essentially just mean "Sometimes, horses die."? I don't mean to be facetious, but it seems an
1554:
Horses are generally considered to be able to carry about 30% of their weight. This can change depending on the breed, individual horse, nutrition, terrain, etc. However, I haven't been able to find anything specifically about the Icelandic horse's weight carrying abilities. They weigh 330 and 380
1315:
I think the original weasel was from me. When I first started editing breed articles, there appeared to be the remains of a big "what's a horse and what's a pony" edit dispute across several articles, including this one. (It's long over and was mostly wound down at the time) That and some clubs
1229:
Did some tweaking and added some more information (and references) in the gaits section. Better to explain things in the body rather than the lead. Basically, the breed registries seem to consider the canter and gallop as one gait, something which should now be better explained at the beginning of

Breed registries, even with some advertising (the best do not have advertising links on their home pages, though, looks tacky) are often the most knowledgable sources (though admittedly POV) on many of the rarer and more obscure breeds. Or at least, they are supposed to be (yes, I know, there are

I'd like to question the statements 'Icelandic horses are late-developers' (in the initial paragraph), and 'The breed matures late' and 'structural development is not complete until age 7' in the Breed Characteristics section. Icelandics are 'Equus ferus caballus', and as such they not only share
878:
The link "some Icelandic horse articles" is the most marginal and most commercial, but it goes to an internal page that has primarily a short list of educational articles specific to the unique aspects of the Icelandic breed, and the sales stuff is off a different link placed at the bottom of the

Big pics can be curbed by coding and preferences, but offer more to people who want to see more. To have small resolution pics in a FA feels dumb, especially now that the Icelandic horse collection at Commons has expanded the way it has. It also will keep expanding too, since I have tons of nice
1569:
Icelandics are known for their ability to comfortably and efficiently carry an adult Icelandic male for distances as they were the principal means of land transport in Iceland for centuries. I would estimate 75-80 kg. This would obviously refer to trail-type riding, not equestrian sports such as
1003:
sure that you want an image of size 300 Ă— 269 pixels with really bad color profile as title image. Well, I just gave up an edit war on German WikiPedia and I see clearly the critics on my image even if it was regarded as featured image - but something else than the current image should be found

Basically, I tossed about a gazillion commercial farm sites off this page a while back, kept the ones that were legitimate breed organizations or seemed to go primarily to educational materials. I reviewed them all again, tossed one dead link. Basically, all the breed registries are legitimate

Thus, in the English-speaking world, your view of the terminology appears to be a minority position, and while there could be a decent subsection in the article titled something like "Horses or Ponies?" that outlines the controversy, it appears that the weight of the evidence is in favor of the

The link for animations of the different Icelandic horse gates now leads to a 404 error. I don't know if it points to what is now the wrong page, or if it doesn't exist any longer, but if someone doesn't mind navagating around a page in Icelandic to find out, it might be worthwhile to do so and

1979:
Hi Pitke, and thanks for the pictures. I'm not really sure what your thoughts behind replacing the current herd pic are? You say that it is "tiny", yet it is not sized to anything, simply the default thumb, which means it is sized by your preferences. I can, however, make it bigger (by using a

This is a very nice article, but I'm still left unsatisfied regarding whether all those gaits are useful in a natural environment. When out on their own, will these horses use all of those gaits in response to different circumstances? Does a horse with five gaits have better control over its

The Icelanders I met were quite adamant about calling them horses rather than ponies. Can the "pony" thing in the first sentence be cited, or should it be removed alltogether? The rest of the article never once refers to it as a "pony"; it even compares it to "other breeds of

Well, since noone has responded with their own "competition" photo of the different gaits, I will post this one of an Icelandic tolting on a trail ride. Most of the owners I know do more trail riding than showing since there aren't that many shows to go to in the US.

Icelanders don't eat horse meat regularly. It was banned when Icelanders became christian, in 1000! It is rare that horse meat is for sale in supermarkets, but it is every once in a while. But you couldn't say that Icelanders are a predator threat to the horse.

Incidentally, there is an article in (I think) Icelandic that appears to be a study of the DNA of the Icelandic and who the breed is related to. May be interesting to look up the English references, but probably later, not in the middle of an FA run.
