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.

Toppur Club Celebrates Icelandic Horse Day on Local News
Toppur, an Icelandic horse club in Iowa, staged a wonderful public relations event. To publicize the International Icelandic Horse Day, the club arranged an eight minute-segment celebrating this horse breed on Iowa Local 5 News. What a great way to show off the calm demeanor and cuteness factor of the breed.
Just one note, my research shows that the Norse did not use the Icelandic horse as war horses because they did not fight from horse back except on some very rare occasions.
