OMG, she is beautiful!! She looks so fluffy!! Wonder how fluffy she will get when she gets a winter coat on her? lol I bet you are walking on cloud nine being able to be out there with all your animals.
You know I expect horse pictures every so often...they always make me smile.

Aww, she's so pretty and shiny! How many hands high is she? I love that mane & tail! Is she going to be a brood mare in time or is she just a pretty pet? I bet she was pretty as a foal! I'm glad you finally got her home; I know you've searched for her for a long time. |

Right now she is 13.2 hands tall...so tall for an Icelandic. She should top out at 13.3 hands tall. For the next couple of years she will just be a pet. ;D Most important job in the world! Well, as a youngling she was rather an ugly duckling. When I saw her just before I bought her....boy had she changed!! She went from ugly duckling to a beautiful Swan. But most important is she is sweet, loves people and has a good mind! After a couple of years of getting to know her, I was thinking to breeding her to Kalman. Just once. Here's Kalmans web site. www.sandmeadow.com/kalman.htm |

Wow, I missed these before! She's really gorgeous, Bergere! I can literally FEEL that mane and tail. I'd have to be out there combing her several times a day... that's just gorgeous. Congratulations! ~Lannie |

Thanks Lannie! I know in time, as with every equine on the place,, I will be able to get her mane and tail longer and thicker!! I put Cowboy Magic in it to help keep it from tangling up. Here is she sporting her new rainsheet. I put rain sheets on the riding horses to keep them dry and keep the clay that is impossible to get out when wet, off. Saves their coat and my tack.  |

Very stylish! I like the little tail piece on that. I've never seen one of those. Aiesha likes to rub her butt on trees to scratch, so she always has a fuzz of broken hairs at the top of her tail. One of these would probably keep that from happening, but she's a wild child and doesn't like any kind of blanket or sheet on her. She'd probably rub through the tail piece, anyway! I know you won't believe this (I didn't either), but I found her blanket one day out in the pasture (this was back when we lived in Tualatin), still buckled and the straps still attached. I have NO earthly idea how she managed to shimmy out of it, but I bet it would have been something to see!  Living here, with the super cold winters, I don't use a blanket at all. When I did (at first), all it did was mash down her fuzzy winter coat and she ended up colder than if I hadn't put the blanket on, so now she goes naked all year and does just fine. She likes it better that way, too.  ~Lannie |

That is one good thing about frozen ground,,, no sticky clay! Ah...she sounds like that Appy I had. Put a sheet on him,, he would simmy out of it....and toss it around to scare the other horses. He had great fun doing that. Of course I boarded him at the time.....and the other boarders were not too please about him scaring their horses. Was funny though!! |
