There are not only Icelandic horses here 🐎

The Icelandic horse, also known as the Icelandic pony, is a versatile and robust breed of horse or small horse originating from Iceland, which can also be ridden by adults thanks to its strong physique. Icelandic horses are gaited horses, as they not only have the basic gaits of walk, trot and gallop, but also the genetically fixed gait of tölt.[2] Many of them also have the gait of pass. Only purebred animals, without any foreign blood, whose lineage can be traced back to Iceland without gaps, are recognized as "Icelandic horses". The import of horses into Iceland is prohibited to avoid disease. Therefore, horses that were born in Iceland and have left the island at some point cannot/may not be brought back to Iceland.

In my opinion, there are more Icelandic horses living in Görnitz than there are inhabitants.
