And the movie was lacking....had difficulty with a Geat hero speaking with a Scots accent. But I loved the horses! They truely are mounts worthy of Epona,(where the word pony comes from). And I am in love with tobianos so you can imagine what I did when that dark tobiano with the star on his forehead first appeared. OMG!!!
Dr. Mair of the University of Penn who is doing work in Asia, was excited when he saw the Icelandic because they look so much like the small horses he has seen in the Altais, etc. I realize these horses are Iceland's treasure, but they may very well be the purest examples of the ancient Celtic horse of any breed alive. Watching them move was breath taking....most worthy of a goddess.
