and here are the hardy Icelandic horses. Iceland's sheep spend the long summer days in the mountains but come September/October Icelandic farmers head to the mountains to gather the sheep in before the long cold dark winter arrives. The sheep roundup is called the Réttir and starts with search parties riding horses and quad-bikes to locate the roaming sheep.

No horses live at Mossy Bottom Farm but the farmer has his sheep dog Bitzer (who is always seen wearing the blue knitted hat the farmer gave him as a puppy). Bitzer is never completely in control of Shaun the Sheep or the The Flock but life would be dull without them.

I love the sheep are so free n Iceland. And, of course, I adore Shaun!
OMG!!! I love Shaun the Sheep and his films!!!! Beautiful image from Iceland: sheep are relaxing to look at. 🐑
No one is in charge of Shaun the Sheep!!
If any sheep were in the way of the volcano I hope they have all been safely rounded up.
