Endurance: Icelandics for Endurance

Does anyone know of any Icelandics that are used for endurance? I had lunch
with an acquaintance who raises Icelandics and she said they are excellent
endurance horses but they look so muscular/stocky. I am sure they can go the
distance (and keep going and going and ...) but with their muscle mass (if
indeed they are as muscular as their pictures look) can they meet criteria at
vet checks in the allotted time? She insisted they could but then, she is not
familiar with endurance riding so I am not convinced she really knew what she
was talking about.

So how about it. Does anyone know if there are any Icelandics on the endurance
circuit? They are certainly cuties and I may just consider one for my next
endurance prospect.
