Clandestino PHotographs of the Icelandic Horse

Jean-Marc Turlo shares this magnificent montage of photographs of Icelandic horses in Iceland.  Too often we forget how the Icelandic horse personality is shaped by the extremes of its environment.

Adfele's Hello with Horses

Equestrians have an over the top passionate connection with their horses--assuming not being able to catch your horse in the pasture is a reason for a break up song.  Here to prove it is Kelly Jewell singing a brilliant parody of Adele's Hello.

Tolting Treasure--Another Filly

Here is the stuffed pony that I made for the annual fundraiser for the Lower Puget Sound Dressage Club.  This year, Vinda, a silver dapple filly, is going to represent my "breeding farm" Tolting Treasures. I love making these toys and getting to name them--all the fun of breeding and none of the risk.

Last year's colt brought in $150 in a bidding war.  I hope Vinda does as well for the club.
