The Icelandic Horse: A Complete Guide to the World's Purest Breed

Bred in near-total isolation for over a thousand years, the Icelandic horse is genetically unique among the world's breeds. This guide covers everything from the famous five gaits to what it takes to keep one well.

Read the guide

Gersemi covers the northern European equestrian world — Icelandic horses, Scandinavian breeds, practical riding gear, and the daily realities of keeping horses well. The writing is aimed at riders who want to understand what they are doing and why, not just follow instructions.

Coverage spans breed history, veterinary basics, saddle fitting, helmet standards, and seasonal care. Each guide is written with the assumption that you have a horse, you care about it, and you want information you can actually act on.
