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.

Sort of Collected Canter
It is hard for Blessi to perform a true collected canter--although some Icelandics have a beautiful 3-beat canter. Here is his progress so far.

I just wanted to say 'hi' and let you know I check out every Blessi post that comes to my inbox. :) Keep up the great blogging! I totally want an Icey now.
Hello Fuzzlizard.
Icelandics are a fun breed. They are very smart and versatile. As you can see, Blessi gives me so much material to blog about. Be sure and let me know when you get your Icelandic. ;-)
Regards, Pamela
