The Icelandic Horse is a five-gaited breed of horse which means it has your usual walk, trot, canter/gallop it can also perform two others - the skeið/flugskeið (flying pace) and the tölt. The ‘tölt’ is a gait somewhat comparable to a strut, specifically used for long distances. It’s easier than trotting and a lot of Icelandics will opt to tölt rather than trot. Above is a very high speed tölt.
