Nói is a bright chestnut Icelandic horse with a lively presence and a curious nature. He is often the first to approach the fence, ears forward, watching visitors with alert interest. His warm coloring stands out beautifully against the green fields and volcanic hills of Eyvindarholt, making him a favorite subject for photos.
Despite his young age, Nói already shows a friendly and confident personality. He enjoys calm company and will happily stand nearby while visitors take photos or quietly observe the herd. His curiosity makes him engaging without being pushy, a wonderful example of the balanced temperament Icelandic horses are known for.
Nói’s lineage combines strong South Iceland bloodlines, and as he grows, his calm confidence continues to develop. He represents the playful, intelligent side of Icelandic horses and adds youthful energy to the herd.
Nói is one of five Icelandic horses living next to the Eyvindarholt Plane Wreck parking area, where visitors can stop safely, use WC facilities and charge electric vehicles.
