Raven Flores and her Icelandic horse Rothadis from Tolt Haven Ranch are doing well in endurance and other events. They compete in the Friends of Sound Horses (FOSH) Gaited Distance Program. In 2014, they won a FOSH award in the the Heavy Weight Division of the Competitive Trail Category. The dynamic duo also compete in long distance endurance in the midwest and have placed in the top 11 in their state..
Raven is a member of the International Icelandic horse discussion Yahoo group and I love reading about her and Rothadis' accomplishments. Prepare to move over John and Remington to make room for Raven and Rothadis in the future.
Here is video that Raven Flores posted of their first solo ride together.
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.
