>> Let an Americans screw up 2 perfect breeds. Here in the US we have enough screwed up horses!
You say this as if Iceland had never bred any "screwed up horses"~! !!! Why are they eating so many of them?? I'm so tired of the "let's bash the americans" crap. Our money is good enough for icelanders, but we are not. BTW...I'm proud to be an American and so is Huginn, my Ice Pony!!<<< I'm jumping in to this thread, as, with computer glitches, I've not received original message about this breeding, nor, I guess other responses...but appreciate Raven's perspective. I'm very enamoured with Gypsy Vanners and Icelandics......... would surely consider a cross as a choice for us, assuming sire and dam are sound, have good temperament and have been well cared for.......were we younger. Don't see how such a breeding would impact either registered breed, as offspring couldn't be registered/shown. If Icelandic could contribute soft gait and Vanner sturdy conformation.......what a great combination for a family/pleasure/trail horse. Would really appreciate if someone might send original message, offering horse for sale. Thanks, Kate Basler Monterey, MA Paddy/Slettir and Pila, Icelandic horses Kokopelli, Hackney pony mule Tess and Bodhi, Irish Water Spaniels Dorje, Snowshoe cat PS, Have no idea who wrote about an American screwing up 2 perfect breeds---so no personal insult intended...no insult intended at all, but is there a perfect breed?. If so, I want one of those :-) We have two lovely, well-bred, registered and well-trained Icelandic horses, but they sure ain't perfect. ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.
