Icelandic horses have adapted to the harsh winters and have learned to dig for food. They are small which means they do not require as much food as a larger or heavier horse. They grow exceptionally thick winter coats which are very oily to help shed moisture and they stay in herds for body heat.This, coupled with people caring for them has allowed them to survive on the island.
