This was the first video I’d ever seen of a tölting horse, about a decade ago. Now we’re four horses in and tölt is the most normal gait in the world (but still very special)!

With the flying pace the legs on the same side work together (ie go forward together) as opposed to other gaits where the legs on opposite sides work together.

Emily Fritz To get the horse in flying pace you must start at a gallop. Some horses can from trot. Step down firmly on one stirrup to create an imbalance, and if the horse has learned flying pace with rider that will make the horse pace. It's very uncomfortable to sit on!

+Svarteoslizzom could you explain how that gait is uncomfortable? The rider is virtually stationary. And a slow progression, from walk to tolt, then extending the gait, maintaining collection, is the way achieve that gait, although not all Icelandics will achieve this sort of speed in gait.
@BlackieLadida8 жыл бұрын
+tmrmilano If you are starting to train a horse or ride a young horse, the pace is kind of like beeing on a small boat in bad weather. Since I told someone who had never ridden pace before, I told her what to expect. Also, in icelandic horse competitions here in Norway, they always start pace from gallop or trot. I have ridden icelandic horses for 15 years.

They do tolt naturally, but sadly, like the Tennessee Walking Horses, they can be forced to look even fancier.... this horse in particular is "winging" out. Not natural, as far as I've seen. Judging by the "grin" on the horse's face, I wouldn't say he's too pleased about it. I'm all for the natural version, though--- go tolt!!!

Usually they have it from birth and they start displaying it at different ages! Some icelandic horses don't really tölt alot naturally, they prefer trot, whilst some would rather tölt than trot! I own two icelandic horses, one of them naturally does both trot and tölt easily and well and is comfortable with both. But my other one is all tölt, trying to get him to trot while riding can take a long time, tölt comes so natural for him it's the trotting that takes training!

@SammYScenester What kind of terrain do you expect to find for much of the year in Iceland? Those little horses have thrived in Iceland for many, many centuries without any outside influence from other breeds. That isolation in such an extreme environment has allowed them to adapt to the conditions. They are supremely suited for swift travel over ice and snow in the winter and broken ground in the summer. Of course, specialized shoes that improve grip help, too.
