Yes, but.... it is a pony, and isn't it better to be truthful in
advertising?

Four..... calling a tail a leg does not make it a leg"

Is there a way to market the Icelandic truthfully to the right audience?
Let's face it, the Speed Rackers are not going to switch to riding
Icelandics as pacers or rackers.
Where's the niche? Where does it fit in?
