Islandpferde-Festival 2011 in Islands Hauptstadt Reykjavik

March 16th, 2011

Das Islandpferde-Festival soll dieses Jahr zwischen 26. März und 2. April stattfinden, und zwar in verschiedenen Veranstaltungsorten in der Hauptstadt Islands, Reykjavik. Das Festival richtet sich an Pferdefreunde jeden Alters, mit Umzügen, Pferdehof-Besuchen, Filmen, Ausstellungen und vielem mehr.

Das Islandpferd ist eine reinrassige Pferderasse mit Anhängern auf der ganzen Welt. Obwohl die ursprüngliche Rasse gemischt war, ist sie heute wegen ihrer Isolation eine der reinrassigsten Pferderassen der Welt. Die Rasse blieb rein für mehr als tausend Jahre und so gibt es heute nur eine einzige Pferderasse in Island. Pferde sind auch ein fester Bestandteil der isländischen Geschichte, denn die Islandpferde können bis auf die Besiedlung Islands im späten 9. Jahrhundert zurückverfolgt werden. » Read more: Islandpferde-Festival 2011 in Islands Hauptstadt Reykjavik
