Well, you wouldn't think that an Icelandic would need hair extensions. Truthfully, Blessi has below average length of mane for an Icelandic--if you can believe it. For Christmas, my friend Deb decided all the Bad Cowgirls' horses needed hair extensions. So Blessi got a bright blue extension. Here are pictures. As you can see, he ended up talking a blue streak about it. We'll definitely sport this equine accouterment during the next play date--it gives Blessi that punk rock look. The question is what is the best place to wear it? Many thanks to Lora for the title to this posting.
I put the blue hair extension on Blessi when Joe the farrier came to shoe Blessi. I kept waiting and waiting and waiting for Joe to notice the
extension in Blessi's mane. Finally, I had to point it out. Joe thought it
looked great. We both laughed--just like a guy to never notice any difference
in hair styles even if it is a horse.
Here is a link to a source for equine hair extensions.

As a little girl, I always wanted a pony for Christmas. Santa never brought me a pony. So in my late 40s, I started taking horseback riding lessons. When I turned 50, I got my first horse, an Icelandic named Blessi (Veigar frá Búðardal). Little did I know how much fun life with an Icelandic was going to be. Blessi has a unique perspective on life. I hope you enjoy reading about it as much as I enjoy Blessi. And you will probably read about my cats from time to time.
