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.

Orville Peck, The Unknown Ranger and His Icelandic Horses
Orville Peck is an up and coming singer who always wears a mask. His outfits are a combination of Zorro and the Lone Ranger. As Josie Gaitens describes his work in the Reykjavik Grapevine, "But it’s the artist’s songwriting and lyrical prowess that seem to garner the most appealing to his fans. Orville’s songs are vulnerable, full of longing, hope and hopelessness, love lost and never gained in the first place. ‘Pony’ is the album you imagine playing at night as you cruise down a dusty, Southern highway away from the love of your life, or as you watch your high school crush slow-dance with somebody else at prom."
His album "Pony" features Icelandic horses, another reason to check out his work.
