Ostheimer Iceland Horse Hrókur

Ostheimer Iceland Horse Hrókur is a special edition wooden figure that celebrates the spirit, strength, and freedom of Icelandic horses. Hand-carved from sustainably sourced wood and painted with non-toxic colours, Hrókur captures the energy and charm of a young, galloping horse with a flowing mane and attentive stance. This figure is slightly smaller than other Ostheimer horses, reflecting the compact, strong physique of Icelandic breeds, yet radiates a sense of movement, curiosity, and independence.

Hrókur is easily recognized by his distinctive heart-shaped mark on his forehead - a symbol of his unique character and the friendship that inspired his story. This figure brings the magic of Iceland and the warmth of a lifelong companion into small world play. Children can imagine Hrókur racing across pastures, exploring miniature landscapes, or joining other Ostheimer horses in dynamic storytelling adventures. The figure encourages open-ended play, helping children develop creativity, empathy, and narrative thinking while connecting to the natural world.

This limited edition figure celebrates Hrókur’s real-life story: born in 2023 at the Podlech family’s Icelandic stud farm, Hrókur inspired the beautifully illustrated book Hrókur and the Sky Riders, telling his adventures, love for Iceland, and the special friendship with his owner Ralf. Handcrafted in Germany with Waldorf-inspired principles, Hrókur is a treasured companion for imaginative play and storytelling.
