Icelandic horses "tölting" in The Bitless Bridle. The Tölt is a gait that is often described as being unique to the Icelandic Horse. The footfalls are the same as a racking gait, but the Icelandic horse is bred for more freedom and liquidity of movement.  At top speed the gait  is known as the skeiğ, "flying pace," or flugskeiğ; it is a smooth and highly valued gait, ridden in short bursts at great speed.
