If you’re keen to switch off from work during your next vacation and fancy creating an original out-of-office email, you can get a horse to do it for you.As part of efforts to highlight Iceland as a travel destination, the country’s tourism office has trained several horses to tap out out-of-office emails so you don’t have to. It’s calling the marketing campaign “out-horse your email.” Get it?
To make it happen, Icelandic tech experts and horse trainers got together to build a giant keyboard over which the horse merrily trots as they type your out-of-office email. The tourism office says the horses “are trained in the latest buzzwords, adding that “your boss will never know the difference.”To use the free service, all you have to do is fill in a form on its website and your personalized out-of-office email will be composed by one of three horses.

And just to highlight how much effort the tourism team went to in order to make the absurd plan a reality, it posted another video showing how the whole thing came together:
In another Icelandic marketing campaign, a hotel recently offered a free 10-day stay to a photographer in exchange for images of the country’s beautiful landscapes.
