Wild horses in the road


Not really wild, every horse in Iceland is owned by someone. They were grazing on open range, and occasionally on open road. They were very wild looking, but would come up to a person if the person was offering something to eat, kind of like the bears at Yellowstone.

The mares all had foals with them. The youngsters are left out on the range and not trained until they reach the age of 4. Icelandic horses commonly live to their late 20`s, early 30`s, which is very old for a horse. Must be the fresh air and clean living. Posted by Picasa
