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.

Doma Vaquero Speed Trial
I have always admired Iberian horses and riding. Portual and Spain have long traditions of both classical dressage and Doma Vaquero or country style riding. Doma Vaquero developed out of the skills needed to work agressive bulls in the countryside--sometimes using long pole. Horses should only walk or canter, not trot. Here you see an amazing example of this type of riding.
