  Perhaps, it was I who wasn't clear. No, I don't know about the
  varying thoughts on when the "Vikings" existed or who they were.
  That was why I asked if you would share what you have learned. You
  are the one who has been reading about Vikings, please share with us
  a bit of the background that accounts for the difficulty in
  pinpointing who and what time frame we are discussing.

Vikings and their horses

Steve, I think I didn't make myself clear. As you may already know there are
differences of opinions on the years that "Vikings" spanned. Also there are
different definitions of what or who a "Viking" is. Before I got into a deeper
discussion I wanted to have a baseline for a point of reference. Once I know 
those
two things I have a better idea of the types of horses we are talking about.
