The Icelandic is a "five-gaited" breed, known for its sure-footedness and ability to cross rough terrain. As well as the typical gaits of walk, trot, and canter/gallop, the breed is noted for its ability to perform two additional gaits. Although most horse experts consider the canter and gallop to be separate gaits, on the basis of a small variation in the footfall pattern, Icelandic breed registries consider the canter and gallop one gait, hence the term "five-gaited".

The Icelandic horse wasn't discovered it was created. When vikings settled in Iceland they brought horses with them and began breeding for smooth gaits and sturdy horses that could survive the winter.

"Gaited" refers to horse breeds that have unique, smooth, and ambling four-beat gaits. These gaits are different from the typical walk, trot, and canter or gallop observed in other horse breeds. Gaited horses are often prized for their comfortable ride and smooth movements, making them popular choices for leisure riding and trail riding.
