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 Tilt at the Uneven Heads
In this game, the rider needs to knock off 3 heads a different heights using a lance. The first head is on a pole over 8 feet and ideally lower the lance to knock off the head at around 3 feet. The rider goes round the list and makes a run for the third head at an in-between height. Most riders require a second run to get the lower head. Blessi decided he would not canter on the first approach. He offered a pacey tolt, which enabled Lord Ivan to get the second head but cost him some points.
