Niels West, the breeder of our two mares was working on the same thing. Although I thought it was encouraging that a man in his 90's would want to develop a new breed, he had wonderful Icelandics and I couldn't quite see the point. Our Tosca, 3/4 Icelandic, 1/4 Peruvian Paso, is the result of one of his crosses. She's quite a nice mare, good mind, good learner, nice mover, but at ths point I still prefer the purebred Yrsa.
