While researching an article on the Icelandic horses used by the native Alaskans to herd reindeer, I found the weird and fantastical video of sleigh ride with reindeer. It reminds me of footage from the first Chronicle of Narnia movie in which Edmund meets the White Witch Jadis for the first time.
Enjoy.
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.
