If you go on vacation in Iceland, you can hire Icelandic horses to reply to your emails.

They have a giant keyboard, and type out replies with their hooves. It was adorable!

It wasn't on dictionary.com.

From google:

The Tölt is a natural, fluid gait of the Icelandic Horse, during which at least one foot always touches the ground. Foals often tölt in pastures at an early age. The tölt is an extraordinarily smooth four-beat gait, which allows the rider an almost bounce-free ride, even at 32 kmh (20 mph).




That's pretty cool.

In other breeds, the only 4 beat gait is the walk. A tolt looks like a running walk.
