Islandpferd Hrókur

I'm the Iceland horse, and I'm the newest member of the Ostheimer horse family. Yes, I'm a bit smaller than the others and sometimes mistaken for a pony, but strong and freedom-loving as we Icelanders are, I love to gallop across the pasture with my flowing mane.

Have you noticed the special mark on my forehead? I'm very proud of it, and of my name too: You can pronounce it "Roo-kür." In Icelandic, it means "tower."

There's also a beautiful picture book about me, "Hrókur and the Skyriders." In it, you'll learn about me and my longing for my homeland. Just ask for my book at your local bookstore.
