If you want to switch off from work during your next vacation and want to create an original out-of-office email, you can get a horse to do it for you.

Maybe we should explain.

The country's tourism office has trained several horses to respond to out-of-office emails so you don't have to. Get it, it's calling the marketing campaign out-horse your email.

To make it happen, tech experts and horse trainers built a giant keyboard over which the horse can type out an email. The tourism office says the horses are trained in the latest buzzwords, and that your boss will never know the difference.

You can send an email to Iceland with OutHorse's Horses from Inspired By Iceland.

To use the free service, all you have to do is fill out a form on the website and one of three horses will compose your email. When we tested the service, the out-of-office message said that the sender was away on vacation and that their email duties were in one of the countries. A personal message was trotted out by the animal. Ours was written by a woman named Litla Stjarna, who said that the horse was her name.

It doesn't make sense. It might to a horse. One that speaks a foreign language.

When you are on vacation, let the horses of Iceland reply to your emails. The tourism office says in a message on its website.

It posted another video showing how the whole thing came together, to highlight how much effort the tourism team went to in order to make the absurd plan a reality.

A hotel recently offered a free 10-day stay to a photographer in exchange for pictures of the country.
