Loki - My Icelandic Horse
Loki isn’t just a horse – he’s Loki: unique, clever, a trickster, a master of illusion, a lover of the Northern Lights, and quietly seeking recognition.
He accompanies me here in Iceland and has become an important part of my life – both on the farm and during our trail rides through breathtaking nature.
His Story
Loki didn’t have an easy start. His former owner no longer wanted him and gave him to a friend who runs a riding tour business. But Loki didn’t fit in there – and suddenly the question arose: the slaughterhouse, just because he was different?
We couldn’t bear to let Loki go. My host and I found a solution together so that he could stay – and since then, Loki has been mine.
Life in Iceland
For now, Loki stays at the riding tour farm, but I’m the only one who rides him.
When I’m away, he enjoys his “vacation” out on the pasture with his friends – free and happy.
Thanks to Loki and my host, I’ve found a place where I mainly work – a place where both of us can be happy.
Frequently Asked Questions about Loki
My host takes care of Loki. During my absence, he stays with his herd out on the field, enjoying his “holiday.”
I bought Loki for a fair price for Icelandic horses. Horses in Iceland are officially registered, and my Icelandic ID number is listed in the registry – which means Loki officially belongs to me.
Yes, I pay an agreed monthly fee to my host for Loki’s care. It’s similar to stable rent, which varies in Iceland just like it does in Germany.
For now, Loki will stay in Iceland. What the future holds for us and where our journey will take him, I can’t say yet.
Actually, I always said I didn’t want one, because I travel a lot and wouldn’t be able to do a horse justice. But I simply had to save Loki. Of course, as a child I dreamed of having my own horse – and now that dream has finally come true. I’m very grateful for that.
Fortunately, no! I’m allowed to use the existing equipment like saddles, bridles, and halters for Loki. Of course, if I ever need something specific, I can get it myself.
