May 1, international day of the Icelandic horse „Scratch that horse challenge“

We have a new challenge for you! It celebrates the bond between horses and humans. We hope you like it, your horse definitely will!

We've got an exciting challenge for you and your Icelandic horses!

We all know that Icelandic horses have their unique personalities and preferences, and there's nothing quite like seeing them in their element.

So, what's your Icelandic horse's ultimate favorite spot to get a good scratch? Is it the belly, the withers, or maybe the tail? We want to know!

And here's where it gets even better: From today and until April 30, we're asking you to share one or many reels of your Icelandic horse getting their favorite scratch. We want to see those happy, contented, funny expressions.

And the icing on the cake? On May 1, international day of the Icelandic horse, we will draw a winner who will receive a special prize that we'll be announcing soon.

So let's celebrate the unique bond between Icelandic horses and their humans! Start scratching those Icelandic horses and show us their favorite spot!
