Here is an amazing video of four generations of world class Icelandic breeding from Kronshof farm in Germany. The mare Næpa, dam or granddam of the other three horses, is 19 years old at the time of filming. She is described as the ToltQueen. How wonderful to see the fitness and athleticism of this older Icelandic horse . As the announcer shouts multiple times, "Fantastic horses" Næpa, Teigur, Óskadís and Óðinn.
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.
