30 photos of horses in Iceland that will take your breath away (31 photos)

Horses are majestic and incredibly beautiful creatures. And Iceland is one of the countries in the world with the most breathtaking landscapes. A photographer named Petra Leifsdóttir brings this beauty together in her work. She lives in Iceland and takes amazing photographs of horses that will take your breath away.





"The Icelandic horse is a truly unique breed. They are small, but stocky and very hardy. Initially, mixed breed horses were brought to Iceland by the Vikings, but today the Icelandic horse is considered one of the purest breeds of horses in the whole world. Horses have not appeared in Iceland for more than 1000 years other breeds,” said the photographer. In this series of shots, Petra Leifsdottir combined her love of horses and the nature of Iceland:
