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.

Blessi As Moose
I saw an animated gif that inspired me to do this experiment with Blessi. He loves experiments since they involve carrots. In the original gif, the horse was quite animated. Blessi is such a happy boy that his ears are almost always forward so some of the effect is lost. Plus he was definitely following the movement of the hay bale behind my back. Don't you think this would make a great Christmas card? Be sure and check out the video below to see those "antlers" move.
