I took this picture during an Elderhostel trip to Iceland last summer. We had stopped at a large meadow to examine one of Iceland's unique sheep-sorting corrals. In a few minutes, the horses began to appear. They were as interested in us as we were in them. They are curious, friendly, and gentle. One was nudging my elbow as I was taking my pictures. These small horses are unique to Iceland, and have not interbred with other horses for over a thousand years. I took a number of shots as this trio approached, and this is the one that I consider my best.
