Yes; wonderful read!  Great insight.

 I made a page on the website to link to the book:

http://iceryder.net/sleipnirsstory.html

and also a link to a sample chapter.

If you haven't ordered one yet, please do!

She knows Tivar, since Ann took him to a clinic at the Icelandic Horse
Farm - you should have her sign it to you and Tivy.  I got her sign one copy
for Cary and Skjoni since she was their matchmaker. :)

where do you get the book?  I want to go to iceland too but I have
come to really believe in my heart that for whatever reason I annoy
the heck outa foriegners.  they dont seem to get it when I make jokes,
and they just swarm out like a buncha fire ants when I ask a simple
question.  People say in iceland "it costs 14 bucks for a hamburger
and fries!"  which doesnt bother me since where I work here on the
redneck riviera it costs 14 bucks and you dont get fries.  a cup of
coffee at starbucks is 4.25.  even the cheapest meal is 8 bucks for
lunch almost anywhere.  But here along the "scenic corridor" on the
gulf of mexico they passed an ordinance where no drive up windows are
allowed... which resulted in NO fast food restaurants.  Which means
everything cost an arm and a leg.  For lunch you have to go eat a
"Nicoise Salad" with fresh grilled tuna steak, capers, anchovies and
lemon roasted red potatoes for 18 bucks.  So I eat soup at work.  All
the people I work with have to drive an hour cause no working people
can afford to live here! a house here just sold for 12 million.  How
much did michael jacksons neverland sell for??!?  Forgive me, I rant.
But anyway.  Iceland cant be THAT expensive...  Cheryl Crowe has a
house here!  I have never seen her, but if i run into her I will tell
her how much I enjoyed reading about her in The Gaited Horse.

Anyone read Christine's book, Sleipnir's Story, yet?  I just finished it.

The first part, about his life as a foal in Iceland where he lived until he
was five, was pretty interesting and revealing to read.  It was an
entertaining book, based on a true story, with a lot of reminders to
consider how the horse sees things.   The last chapter was cute, where she
repeats what the horses in the pasture told her that they want humans to
know.

BTW, if Robyn rode Stjarni that day, who was the woman who rode Sleipnir?

It made me go back and look at the pictures of the clinic we attended there,
so I could look at the pictures where I rode Sleipnir.  It's pretty cool to
know I rode a celebrity - not that I'm the only one who's ridden him in
clinics.  :)

Good job, Christine.
