The Viking Horse from Iceland

Are you into Norse life style in SL or fancy a unique horse which is real fun to ride in SL then this Icelandic horse is just for you.
The Icelandic horse is a little larger than a pony. It has a wonderful temperament and will be your best companion whether you roleplay, explore SL or just like to have a cute horse roaming in your land.

HISTORY
The Viking horse has been preserved in the Icelandic horse which can be traced all the way back to the Viking settlement of the country in the late 9th century. Due to the isolation of Iceland, this stock remained pure. The horses played a vital role in the Viking community and they were highly regarded and renowned in Norse mythology. The most famous of all these mythological horses is of course Sleipnir, the eight-footed pacer. One of the main attractions of the Icelandic horse is its versatility. It is a five-gaited horse, making it exceptional in comparison with other breeds. In addition to the four gaits (walk, trot canter and gallop) the Icelandic horse masters both the pace and the toelt.

THE ICELANDIC HORSE IN SL
With this project I have tried to create a realistic Icelandic horse for SL use, The horse is made in a physical and an attached version, Both types are ridable but with slightly different functionality.. The appearance of both horses can be adapted by the menu system allowing you to select between 11 fur colors, 8 mane colors and a combination of saddle textures. Both horses have 9 gaits and are fully animated. The physical horse can be released to roam your land or set to follow you or an other AVs of your choice.

The physical horse requires permission to rez an object on land (Land impact is 43). The horse is very lively and somewhat harder to ride than the attached version. It has far more natural gaits and is perfect for a wild horse race and playful run over a jump track.
