Taktur Icelandic Horses

Taktur Icelandic Horses, an Icelandic horse breeder based in Crestwood, Kentucky, operates in the Bluegrass region near Louisville. Terral Hill and Carrie Lyons Brandt have worked with Icelandic horse bloodlines for several years and register their stock with recognized breed associations. The horses live on pasture with daily turnout and gentle handling from weaning. Emphasis on early socialization helps them develop confidence for riding and trail use.

Their breeding program highlights the sturdy build and smooth gaits for which Icelandic horses are known. Foals live alongside adult horses on the family farm and receive individual attention. The farm’s focus on balanced nutrition, routine health checks, and detailed records of lineage and performance supports sound development, guides breeding decisions, and upholds breed standards. Their gentle handling methods and emphasis on individual progress foster trust between riders and horses across all ages.
