Do you dream of a horse with a gentle yet spirited character, robust, sure-footed, curious, and suitable for the whole family? Then you’ve come to the right place. At Libea, we breed Icelandic horses and are dedicated to promoting the breed in France. They have two additional gaits: the tölt and the flying pace.
Join our association to access an online roundtable, exclusive offers, and the chance to exchange tips and advice with Icelandic horse enthusiasts who meet up several times a year.
Imported by the Vikings on their ships to Iceland around the 9th century, these small horses adapted to the volcanic island, acquiring their current temperament: fire under the ice. With their wide range of coat colors and height generally between 1.30 m and 1.50 m, their gentle and strong-willed nature has already won over Scandinavia and Germany.
Come and discover the tölt, a four-beat gait faster than a walk, where the horse always has one or two hooves on the ground, making it particularly comfortable. The flying pace, a lateral gait, is made for speed lovers, reaching peaks of over 40 km/h.
At Libea, we breed and train our horses with the greatest respect, aiming to achieve the best possible harmony between horse and rider. Groundwork is just as important to us as riding. We want the horse to be in the best physical condition, and for the pair to enjoy progressing together — whether in dressage, competition, or trail riding.
To support this, we offer face-to-face and online lessons, training courses, working boarding with or without the rider… and we’ll help you find your future companion. Tell us what you’re looking for, and we’ll support you in the best possible way.
