Set in the beautiful lands of Iceland, this witty story weaves together vignettes of flawed humans --- and their trustworthy steeds. Through the horses' perception, we see human stories of companionship, stories of misfortune, stories of love, and, most significantly, stories of man and horse.

The New York Times by Nicolas Rapold
Mr. Erlingsson’s upbeat outlook suggests that generations of horses and men have coexisted and will continue to do so for centuries more.
