The first Icelandic horses were flown directly into Dublin last week – with two of the four which made the journey finding a home in Clare.

Dísa Reynisdóttir is originally from Iceland, but now lives near Miltown Malbay after falling for an Irish man.

She runs an Icelandic horse farm and riding school called Hestakot (meaning horse cottage) here in the banner. They also have accommodation to welcome tourists in the summer.
