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.

Icelandic horses Help Teach Budhist Life Lessons
Students from Goettingen University, Germany, produced the following documentary about Icelandic horses in the series "Horse. Culture. Lower Saxony." It documents how an instructor in Budhism uses the Icelandic horse to teach lessons about life. As the instructor comments, "Das ist schön." Perhaps Blessi is also a Budhist since he tries to teach me every day--I just don't always learn.
