Icelandic horses seem to invent every opportunity to escape....and look for the greener grass. Notice how one doesn't care that the other horses have been led away. She has her grass. But once the halters are on, "It's a fair cop. But did you know there is grass over there? And there? And there? Just in case you missed it..."
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.
