Icelandic horse at Toelt Tolt Tölt

[CarroTheAngel]

I love ^^ Im swedish and rid alote :DD FAVOORRIIITTEE

[annaandharry]

HeyHayHorsey17 - As far as I know it is the natural gait of icelandics and I'm unsure whether you can actually teach other horses to do it.

[Shadowpolish]

@annaandharry - Well, yes and no... The horse has a genetic predisposition which you can work with (some need training, others are natural tölters), or it does not and it cannot learn.

[HeyHayHorsey17]

How do u get ur horse to tölt? It looks very smooth

[GudiniLove]

@HeyHayHorsey17

I can not speak English so well, but I try. a icelandic horse, Peruvian or a trot to get into the tölt, you must certainly give aid. the need to pay close rein horse parades on the belly, always with the grant to sit deep ... each race has a few nerds, the tölt can you, but can really tölt Iceland horses, Pasos and Traber. Tenesse walking the horse can still walk. and then there's the race right .....

[Haileyshorses31701]

I've done it before it's a lot of fun

[AmandaFjordell]

That is NOT tölt.... that's called piggy-pace! :) Trust me, my horse is a pure tölt-machine.

[sigridandbilly]

This was terrible! Learn to train your horse properly

[ContessSnofte]

@sigridandbilly Why so harsh?

[Daniellerfly]

Icelandic Horse Toelt= Pimp Strut.

To be fair, a mane that looks like a 'fro does need a certain walk to back it up. Toelting is that walk.

[Guinnie]

@Daniellerfly Not quite It is the proud gait of a tough little horse

[daniellekoons]

@Guinnie isnt that what i said? i just said it cooler.

[Guinnie]

@daniellekoons Pimp is not cool

[iStippel]

i know how it feels, its feels great! but the hard ground its not really good for the hooves

[skyehorse25]

That look REALLY comfortable. My uncle in in Iceland right now... Wonder if he could get a vid of that

[Arizonadu2]

lol



[THIWHU]

You should really try to get your horse to lift its legs better...

[Multi858]

Yes, fantastic!!

[Saartje05]

@NightSkyRider13 Yes it is. You can even hear it.

[NightSkyRider13]

@Saartje05 well, that horse doesnt tolt like this one I saw once...whatever, forget what I said.

[Saartje05]

@NightSkyRider13 Just listen to it. With a normal trot you hear 'clop clop'. With a tölt you hear a very fast

'clopclopclopclop". There's always one foot on the ground, while in a trot there's a moment all four hooves are free of the ground.

[NightSkyRider13]

@Saartje05 Okay, okay, you win.

[myponiemolly]

narwww it trots a bit like a welsh cob but welsh cobs are longa strieds lol :)

[Synna89]

@myponiemolly This isn't trot, and Welsh cobs walk nothing like this ;).. Trot is a gait with only two beats, where the diagonal legs hit the floor at the same time. Tölt has four beats, and the legs are put down in the same order as in walk; Right back leg, right front leg, left back leg, left front leg, and so on :)..

[horselover11051105]

hahahahahaha that look epic as in epic fail muhahhahahah jk i REALy want to do that but of corse i cant

[Saartje05]

@horselover11051105 Fail. Yes, you're right, you fail.

[alessamausiii]

That always looks so fantastic!

[alissa1387]

craz

[Vicksen80]

er det ikke i ganløse

[eMoHoSsAnA]

Ahahahaha!!!! How big is its mane??!! xD

[tanjexlovex]

Howww sadd... xDDD

That's realy Ugly o_o

[CarolineKjolner]

@tanjexlovex lol, why?

[xxBlackVeilBridexx]

@tanjexlovex

if you knew horses, it actually isn't ugly at all.

It's a beautiful unique gait

[MyGirlCajun]

so that's what the pasos trot is called... actually i don't think it is a tolt for the paso but they look extremely similar.

[HorseRider4507]

Puffy mane! So cute! By the way,what is the tolt?

[HorsezRtheBEST]

That's the cutest lil horse I've ever seen in motion. ;)

[Niggischen]

i'm sorry to say but it's not a good tölt and the horse going most time Pass.

[xMrsShepherdx]

@Niggischen ?? do you ride icelandics??! that wasn't pace. it might not have been the best tölt, but it's no way near pace!

[70mela]

@xMrsShepherdx I wonder if YOU ride Icelandics?? If you watch the horses right legs, they move in pace. It's not a pure pace, but it's certainlly not a pure tölt either!! You can hear it too. A pritty bad tölt actually...

[xMrsShepherdx]

@70mela try listening to it, it's not pace... it's okay 

[livefromnorway94]

@xMrsShepherdx In norway, we call it GRISEPASS, in english it's pig-pace, it's a ugly thing an icelandic horse do as a habit when they don't get the correct training.

[Saartje05]

@70mela I totally agree. It looks more like the gait of a camel than a real tölt.

[TheHorseluvah]

Hee hee, look at his 'fro goin' up and down!!! SO CUTE! :3

[catteye]

this gait is sooo cute! it makes me laugh :D

[bballgirlmu1]

looks similar to the tennesse walker horse weird gate...first time i've seen this gate on this horse though so people don't hate on me

[LoveIJslander]

Why isn't it fresh tölt?

[glempa5]

Tölt is a pain in the ass :)

[heidrunr]

@glempa5 What :D? It's easy and comfy to sit.. I also loove feeling their movements!

[eli19951]

i love icelandic horses and Tolt!!

[MsGoldlover]

You doesnt have a clear tact in your tölt. Your horse goes to mutch into the piggypace. Ride slower with more power by your legs. the you get the ass more down and the frontlegs higher. than is your horse more in time with the real tölt.

[DarkDreamsNeverEnd]

that looks soo smooth!

[eplekjekkblog]

Tölting on asphalt is NOT wrong! Because the horse has at least one leg on the ground all the time!

[monagirly]

doofe isis

[punkdodo003]

the tolt is very nice

a good bleckundecker ^^

but the action could be better ...

[Feitlinglover]

No op de ground!!!

[Trine418]

There is nothing wring with tölt on asphalt as long it doesn't happen for a long time...

[EmmiJ82]

it looks so comfy.

beautiful horse by the way ; )

[KigersRawesome]

Do you have to post while "tolting"?

[animegirl687]

No, I think it's meant to be sat. It's supposed to be a very smooth, enjoyable gait. The only real difference is that if you ride a horse that can tolt, you want to place your saddle back further than a normal saddle, so the horse can move its front legs freely and its withers aren't cramped.

[boii1990]

on*

[boii1990]

:o you torturer! is this tolt an asphalt?!

[xDaydreamyxx]

Ein Standardbred töltet aber nicht!

[annod6]

Get a standardbred, they pace as well and have the nicest temperaments (and a lot taller). These are cute though.

[Synna89]

Annod6, what is standardbred? Whatever it is, they can't do the tolt. Which is exclusive for the icelandic horse. This video shows tolt, not pace.

[annod6]

What's the difference between tolt & pace?

[blackerthanblackdog]

Tolt is 4 beat, pace is two beat.

[Synna89]

annod6:

The tolt is fourbeated, and is like walking only faster. That means the legs move like this: Right back leg, right front leg, left back leg, left front leg.. In pace, which is twobeated, the legs on the same side hits the ground at the same time.

[annod6]

Thanks for your reply Synna89. I couldn't work it out, it's feet were moving so quick!! It looks like a very comfortable gait for the rider.

[Storsnusarn]

It's like riding in an armchair, in comparison to the other medium/fast paced gaits that is.

[playfulprankster3247]

i have an icelandic hores. they're so smooth to ride. how do you get them to tolt correctly? i've been having trouble with that because all he wants to do is canter

[Synna89]

Playfulprankster3247:

Are you sure your horse HAS tolt? Just because it's an icelandic horse, doesn't mean he can tolt. Not all icelandics can tolt, some just have 3 gaits like a normal horse ;)..

[bnpwns]

how is that fast? i can go thirty times faster walking on my horse and he is the slowest walker at my barm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hannah82nz]

Where does it say fast?

And you are probably the slowest person at your barn. pft

[masadarios]

It(He,She) hears your you are a chulita with your pony believe yourself that we cannot do the demas it, chunk gallops chulita q you believe yourself the best Amazon of the world or that when you want I throw(add) a career(race) and guro that I gain(earn) you to and an advice(council) if you want to win me takes(catches) a horse.

[babybummie15]

that kinda looks funny!

BUT IT IS AWESOME!

[FreddyOgSigrid]

very good tølt.

[HappyGalinTheLight]

Thank you! i was wondering what it looked like! Pretty horse by the way

[ponyppl]

Haha it's almost like the Paso Fino gait

[elphabawest27]

thank you for putting this on here. i read about the icelandic horse a while ago and always wanted to know what that gait looked like. your horse is so beautiful! :>

[FinMaggot]

amazing horses!

love this vid : )

[SweetGunKiss]

isnt a bit hard to ride there?

[Draiona]

jea, i thought so too...

[HoofPrintsOnMyHeart]

That is so cool and the pony is so cute!

=)

[madicarr]

do iceiece canter or do this?

if so is it hard to get them to canter?

or is it that when u ask them to pick it up, they jst run into a tolt x)

[Forkastanlegt]

you shouldnt have any trouble getting them to canter ;) ofcourse there will be some more difficult then others, but the all have canter !

Very nicehorse btw smartweb ;)

[acapae]

in iceland cantering has to be taught as it's not so instinctive. in horses bred outside of iceland it's more common that teaching isn't needed due to the difference of terrain (cantering in boggy land isn't so safe).

[Forkastanlegt]

what ?

all icies canter here in Iceland, where did you get this very wrong information ?

[acapae]

from an icelandic horseman.

[Forkastanlegt]

well, im sorry but he has told you wrong.

i even have a video of an one day old foal cantering in iceland in my channel !

[katphoti]

I agree--ALL horses can canter. There is no breed that can't. I'm a TWH owner and have been told they can't canter either, but my TWHs continue to canter in the turnout and under saddle naturally!

[daintyhyena]

I agree. I guess some people ruin their gaited horses when they aren't sure how to give them different signals for cantering and gaiting, thus the "dont canter your gaited horse" supposition came about. Personally I have the most trouble separating the jog and the foxtrot in my appys mind.

[katphoti]

I agree about the signals--it's a lack of learning how to do it, or probably laziness. :) There was a Peruvian Paso mare at a dressage/natural horsemanship clinic I was at this weekend, and while her gait is amazingly pure, the owner said she canters her a lot. The Peruvian and Paso Fino people are my favorite when it comes to cantering: they all say it's physically impossible for their horses to do it, yet I see it a lot!

Neat that your Appy foxtrots! I'd definitely encourage that! :)

[daintyhyena]

You nailed it. I rode a paso fino who definitely knew how to canter. He would go from the larga into the canter, and back, effortlessly. He obviously had been trained to know the difference between the signals, and he did fine. I think their natural impulsion also scares people into holding them back. I try to encourage my apys foxtrot, but its hard to fine tune it without a bit to give her minute little signals, and since I rarely ride with one, I have been lazy about working on it.

[citydog]

That's *so* not true.

[Himinglaeva]

The best horse I ever rode was an Icelandic. The tolt is so comfortable, but it does look kind of funny when you're not the one on the horse!

[RidingDaisy]

You look so nice together-great seat. What a cute pony! I have a friend who has an icelandic---I'd love to ride one one day, to feel the smooth gaits...I have a QH, a little different, lol. :D

[BlondeLilMCRfan]

yeah me too. i would love to ride one the problem is i dont know anyone who has one plus i would;nt be used to the size i currently have a 17hh 570kg clysdale cob the size change would be quite dramatic

[AnimalCrazy102030405]

Your Horse Is SO SO SO SO SO Cute!

[mandaleacalico]

ive ridden an icelantic horse, and the tolt is indead very comfortable, but from my eye, it is the most awful gait to watch!!

sorry, but i hate it!!

[AnimalLuver4ever]

man, that horse's mane is pure FLUFF!!! He/she's sooo CUTE!!

[Kalishka07]

yup LOVE IT

[joandandy]

haha omg i was laughing so much when i read what xocaramelkissess wrote to kellyj1985 haha

[horselvr26]

[HorseyHaz]

Is the trot comfy or not?

[gorscho92]

[HorseyHaz]

LOL! that trot is well funny. I love iclandic ponies.

[NaturalSophia]

[bornaunicorn]

[no1Lizzy]

that looks really wierd, wouldnt it be bad for their legs?

[PonyFlyer321]

No it's a natural gait for icelandic horses so it doesn't hurt them

[no1Lizzy]

cool, i want to try it xD

[HorseLover417]

is that ok for their legs?

[milliesos]

that cant be good 4 there legs

[svipur]

around second 5 you can see that it isn't completly clear tolt

[Manorina]

Our Cretan Georgalidiko is doing tölt as well.

It looks so fun! :-D

[punkyfox]

Nice horse, looks good. ^^

[Bleikja]
