Most of Iceland's horses spend their time wild and free in the
highlands, instead of on farms. Like sheep, they roam at their own whim,
with neither supervision nor control, able to graze wherever they
choose. But once a year, toward the end of summer, they’re brought down
from the mountains.
In Sauðárkrókúr a group of farmers recruit their friends, neighbors, and
even some courageous tourists to hop into the saddle and gallop off
into the vast highlands. Their mission: locate and herd
every horse in the area to a corral set up outside town.
