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.

Tails of Iceland--Upcoming Documentary
For a thousand years, Icelanders have had a special bond with their horses. ArtasAir is producing a documentary "Tails of Iceland" about this relationship. "It is about the culture and the connection, and there have been as many stories as there are thousands of years since these horses were brought to this fiercely unforgiving and magnificent island. Our goal is to capture some of the tales and a lot of the history, but more importantly, to illustrate how deep this unique kinship goes." Expected is in early 2019. I love the segment when a young horse puts its head through the fence to play with the reins of an older horse about to go on a trek.
