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.

Just Another Water Crossing for Icelandic Horses
Going on a horse riding trek in Icelandic will probably involve a lot of river crossings. Even the loose, remount horses cross all kinds of water with aplomb as you can see in the video below. Blessi is a wonderful with water crossings. One of his breeding lines is known as the Water horses of Iceland. (This info comes from a conversation over eight years ago so I may have some of the details incorrect.)
