Welcome to Boulder Ridge Icelandics.

We are a small hobby farm located in Southern Maine.
We have only one breed of horse on this farm, which is the
Icelandic horse. Feel free to look around and learn about the horses!

The Icelandic Horse is known for their very smooth gait, the Tolt.
Which is a four-beated gait that is natural and can be carried for
long distances. These horses can be either 4 or 5 gaited. The 4-gaited
horse has the walk, trot, canter, and tolt. The 5-gaited has the
same gaits as the 4-gaited but also has the Flying Pace, which is
a two-beated lateral gait that is very fast and used for sprint racing.
Even though the Icelandic only stands from 12.2-14 Hands, they
are tough and have no problem carrying adult men and women.

Icelandics are very easy keepers and a thick winter coat protects
them in cold climates. Slow to mature they are usually not ridden
until they are four or five years old, but it is not unusual to ride
them into their late twenties or early thirties. A great variety of
colors, including many shades of dun and pintos can be found
in the breed.

**UPDATE** Boulder Ridge is looking for another boarder. Board is $350
per month, includes use of a 60' X 100' indoor riding arena, pastures
with a run-in shed, hay, water(heated in the winter), and some
grain. Contact us for more information.
