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.

Icelandics bringing Easter Cheer to Senior Home during Coronavirus
On Deerfield, WI, local horse owners brought their Icelandics to a senior home. The horses, dressed as Mr. and Mrs. Easter Bunny, went round the outside of the building to bring holiday cheer to the residents.
As Melissa Meboe, community director at Home Again, said “We walked around the building and each resident got to have a horse experience.”
