Nordic Equine

Nordic Equine, Icelandic horses in Akureyri, Iceland, North Iceland near Reykjavík. Jane Smith has guided the quiet facility since its founding, focusing on heritage lines and careful selection backed by annual vet checks for joint health and gait quality.

The farm is a member of the Icelandic Equestrian Association, and all horses undergo standard assessments for temperament and conformation before breeding. Animals live in small grassy paddocks and rotate through sheltered stalls, enjoying daily turnout and gentle handling from weaning. Regular socialization with visitors and other livestock helps horses develop trust and sound manners in various settings.

A tradition of patient training shows through in the steady tölt and friendly disposition favored by riders exploring the breed for the first time. Annual open days reflect a welcoming approach to prospective owners and underscore the farm’s emphasis on long-term partnerships and responsible ownership.
