Herd in Iceland background

Herd in Iceland

The documentary "Herd in Iceland" follows the annual round-up of the Icelandic horse, a breed that has remained unchanged for centuries due to Iceland's unique geographical isolation.

For over 1,000 years, Icelandic law has kept the island's horse population pure and isolated. Icelandic horses live a wild existence in the highlands during summer, grazing and raising their young. Every September, they're rounded up by local farmers and directed across rugged terrain to reunite with their owners, uniting the country in a breathtaking tradition.
