Let Icelandic Horses Handle Your Work Emails During Vacation

There's a new way to truly disconnect during your time off. Now you can have Icelandic horses write your Out of Office emails for you while you enjoy your vacation without work interruptions.

Visit Iceland created this unique service as part of their "Outhorse Your Email" tourism campaign. The best part? They claim your boss won't even notice the difference between your emails and those written by hooves.

How Horse-Written Emails Work

The team at Visit Iceland built a giant, functioning keyboard designed specifically for horses to walk on comfortably. This isn't just for show - they actually trained three different Icelandic horses to type messages, each with their own distinct writing style.

When you visit the Outhorse Your Email website, you can select one of these trained horses to craft your away message:

• The first horse types quickly but might take unexpected naps during the writing process
• The second horse brings an assertive, efficient approach (and has notably shiny hair)
• The third horse is particularly friendly and has special training in corporate buzzwords

Setting Up Your Horse-Written Message

The process is simple. After selecting your preferred equine email assistant, you complete a short form with details about your vacation. Soon after, you'll receive a personalized email written by your chosen horse.

Don't expect perfect grammar or complete sentences - coherence isn't guaranteed with these four-legged typists. However, the message will definitely communicate the essential point to anyone trying to reach you during your vacation: you're unavailable and enjoying your time away.

A Creative Tourism Campaign

The "Outhorse Your Email" initiative represents a clever approach to tourism marketing. It highlights Iceland's famous horses while promoting the country as a vacation destination where visitors can truly disconnect from work demands.

By having a horse handle your email responsibilities, Visit Iceland suggests you can fully immerse yourself in the country's natural beauty and unique experiences without digital distractions.

While your colleagues might be confused by the unusual writing style in your away message, they'll certainly understand you're serious about enjoying an uninterrupted vacation in Iceland.
