  • Come along with me on an exciting adventure: herding wild horses in Iceland! With the help of Mistericeland and his amazing horsemanship skills, we were able to round up a group of wild Icelandic horses and bring them in for training. It was a challenging but rewarding experience, and it was amazing to see Mistericeland in action as he expertly worked with the horses. Watch the video to see all the highlights of our journey and the incredible bond between Mistericeland and the wild horses. Thank you, Mistericeland, for sharing your skills and knowledge with me and for making this trip an unforgettable experience.

    This is some of the best work you have done and well done Pete for the camera work. I have been lucky enough to visit Iceland several times from a cruise ship but also a short winter break in the snow and to see the Northern Lights. It is a magical place and your vlogs are bringing back so many memories. I will never get to ride the horses so it has been wonderful to learn so much about these gorgeous animals.

    This is so beautiful! I fell in love with Iceland and Icelandic horses when I was 8 and despite being classically trained (English) and the entire barn I was at looking down at me with my ‘untalented pony’, I didn’t want any other horse when I finally got my own at 11. Mind you, we both quite enjoyed jumping and did a few events together where the judges commanded us for her spunk and speed. She really didn’t have an off button. I later changed stables to an Icelandic only stable and learned the Icelandic gaited riding and I’ve never looked back. These horses are hearty and full of heart and simply one of a kind. When I was little I thought they were Viking horses (because they’re descendants kept almost pure) and the way they’re raised and the place they’re from is just magical. :)

    More of this quality of content please!!! Just to echo what the others have said above. You’ve a budding presenting future ahead of you if you ever wanted to go in that direction. Super camera work just brings it all together. Well done both. So much horse-related content out there for you to explore / educate people on Meg. Touring the world, riding different breeds / learning about their people / their environments. Others have done it but I thing you’d bring a breathe of fresh air to it and bring so many more people to the part! Watch out Matt Harnacke / Jesse Drent - there’s a Horse World TV Channel I’d sign up for here too 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    I rember when I had to do that but on a much smaller scale and I was the only one doing that with no horse I had to get 20 icelandic horses into 2 different fields and it could be so crazy you did a great job. The feeling when they all tölt by you and you feel the ground shake is a feeling I will never forget.
