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.

How to Pronounce the Name of Your Icelandic Horse
Fitjamyri Icelandic Horses, in Vernon, BC, Canada, has developed a wonderful resource. They have recorded the pronunciation of common Icelandic horse names. Many, many thanks to Toos and Arnold Faber of Fitjamyri!
Interested in learning how to pronounce Sleipnir, the name of Odin's 8-legged horse? Go to this page and look for the guide on the left of the farm's home page:
