Avondale Icelandics

Seattle's Icelandic Horse Connection​
Picture
Tolt
4 beat running walk pattern but 3-5x faster than trot or a jog.  A fast tolt can be faster than a canter. ​ No bounce like a trot. 
It is ridden English with energetic movement, and a longer leg.

Flying Pace
The Flying Pace is as a fast gallop at 25-35 mph used in short sprints.  It is the ultimate riding experience for advanced riders who can get an Icelandic to really move out.

"There is no animal more sagacious than an Icelandic horse. He is brave, sober, and surefooted."             
Jules Verne, Journey to the Center of the Earth, 1864
What I learned from a horse
When you are tense, let me teach you to relax.
When you are short tempered, let me teach you to be patient.
When you are quick to react, let me teach you to be thoughtful.
When you are angry, let me teach you to be serene.
When you feel superior, let me teach you to be respectful.
When you are self absorbed, let me teach you to think of greater things.
When you are lonely, let me be your companion.
When you are tired, let me carry the load.
When you need to learn, let me teach you.  After all, I am your horse.
