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.

Lord Ivan and Blessi Compete at the Quintain
Hitting the quintain is a skill preparing the horse and rider for jousting. This event is scored by the number of times the shield spins. The faster the horse goes and the more accurately the "sweet spot" of shield is hit, the more times the shield spins.
