Heierun Sigur ardottir identified for the first time two genes Icelandic horses have that affect these gaits, in addition to the one that had previously been identified.
Her genetic analyses also showed that centuries of inbreeding on the island have not harmed the genetic diversity in the breed.
Foreign horses are not allowed into Iceland, and once an Icelandic horse leaves the nation, they're not allowed to return.
