New Age Vikings, The Icelandic Horse. Volume One

A must for every horse lover regardless of breed orientation. "The Icelandic Horse is just like any other breed, except more so" says author/photographer Elisabeth Haug. "I have chosen the Icelandic to star in the book because he so clearly embodies the traits we all love and admire in the horse-beauty, charisma, kindness, gentleness, courage, power, swiftness, and intelligence." Elisabeth has the gift of making her photography come alive. She loves horses, people, and nature. Her photographic adventure leads you on a horseback journey across modern Iceland. It gives you a strong feel of the beauty, and culture of this small, unique country that in the beginning of time was tossed carelessly into the middle of the Atlantic. Adventurous Vikings braved the angry seas about a millennium ago to settle the island. Bringing their families, their livestock and their chattel, they sailed into the unknown in open Viking ships. .
