one thousand fifties a german businesswoman on a trip to iceland heard that some five to six thousand animals were to be euthanized animal rights activists raising the alarm bells and then dozens of private german citizens stepped in to adopt the animals and what has happened to them since then here's a closer look. icelandic horses are known for their strength and sturdiness they're among the most popular horse breeds in germany and this is mainly because of the nineteen fifties movie series and the actions of animal loving businesswomen also the sean book. may get passed down and her husband founded a stud farm for icelandic courses near gribbin in northern germany today their son lives past john runs the farm they're united in their love for this unique course breed which is native to iceland but how did this animal get to germany. up until the one nine hundred fifty s.
12:49 pm
icelandic horses were mostly confined to their native land. but few germans knew of their existence. is what it took a while for these horses to gain mainstream acceptance in germany where warm and cold blood sweat common us traditionally small pony sized horses have not been one thousand to germany just by magic events. but then a german film producer bought five icelandic horses to feature in the one nine hundred fifty s. three part human oaf movie series which was filmed in northern germany. the movie project features the arrogant figure it'll back wearing a red jacket and white john pearse he gets too high to ship the film's main protagonist dickie then gives it a back to horse to ride plessy and icelandic course. plot yes i've seen this the time and even though i'm too young to belong to the him in wolf generation i really
12:50 pm
enjoyed watching the movies. they were shot here and we love them we want to be wild ride horses and just enjoy life like in the films tired. but in fairness living in his. audiences love the him and old movies and the powerful icelandic horses in particular but even so nobody wanted to buy them until german businesswomen was or schoenberg travelled to my strength and realised locals didn't just use the yana most for writing. is that was all it is still i was there during summer and heard that of the six thousand fellows pony five thousand a slaughtered. the meat is eaten and the hides exported. so i thought how great it would be to take these horses to germany. and. in germany the public was horrified that the foals are regularly slaughtered. doj and germans love animals
12:51 pm
and so many spoke out against the practice of killing the fellows here. so the young horses were shipped to hamburg. suddenly lots of people wanted to buy icelandic horses from or solution on board they came to see all the advantages of this powerful brain. mission not only can be sources be kept outside they must be kept outside to stay healthy if you kept icelandic horses locked up inside for twenty four hours a day they wouldn't survive they must be kept outside divined that all's in zion to . use pasterns farm boasts one hundred icelandic horses and across germany there are seventy thousand of the beautiful breed. and finally if you spent any time on the mediterranean this summer then you probably saw one of many super yachts cruising along the coast for those who are going to forward it it is
