This is the Landsmot 2006, Iceland's national competition held every 2 years. Notice how smooth the riders are sitting, almost as if they are on wheels. This is called the tolt, one of the five gaits of these ancient horses. Iceland, with a population of only 300,000 people, has over 80,000 horses! The horse is a very important part of their culture.
