Did you know that Icelandic horses have a double-layered winter coat? ❄️This keeps them warm in the harshest weather conditions! In winter, their fur grows up to 10-15 cm long, making them look extra fluffy and cute, but it’s not just for looks. Their dense undercoat traps heat, while the longer outer hairs protect them from wind, snow, rain and freezing temperatures. Only downside? Dealing with all that shedding hair in spring, when it sticks to your clothes! 😅#horsesoficeland #icelandichorse #islandpferd #horsesofinstagram #islandshest #islandshäst #sheddingseason
