Somewhere in a box I have the only known photo of our old plow horse Teacup, and its a cool pic the family always called Teacups Ghost cause it was a picture taken on top of a picture (remember when cameras could do that accidentally?) so it was a pic of my dad eerily superimposed onto a ghostly image of teacup.-- yipie tie yie yo

You have the same project I've got. I have a huge trunkfull of pictures to scan and copy to CD's. Somewhere in that pile, is a pic of me sitting on an Icelandic pony when I was about 3 or 4. Really? Where did you find an Icelandic then - did you visit family in Iceland? How amazing. I want to see that picture! Karen Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I want to see that picture! I don't know his history at all, other than he lived with an old guy a few towns over from where we lived. I couldn't find that pic, but I did however find another old picture with the subtitle 'Picture from Iceland It is of a young boy riding a sturdy (large) Icelandic horse... he's got some type of saddle on him, and a very lose noseband on the bridle. It almost looks as though he's using a leather bit of some sort. AND there is Icelandic writing on the back I believe it's from the 1940's. If I can get this pesky new scanner to work...I'll send in both the pic and the writing. I'm sure Mom didn't know there was writing on the back of it. If no one on the list can translate it, I'll have Mom do it the next time she's down. Wanda
Re: [IceHorses] Bill Ryder
Yes, she did. Here she is on Daquiri; with one of my cousins behind. He was a good jumper, but for some reason he was banned from going to Martha's Vineyard. Once, going to load onto the ferry, to ride over there, they refused to let him aboard, saying he was known there as a crazy horse and when he was sold from the island, was never to return. Wow, what's the story behind that? V

People have already asked what breed, I'll be watching for the answer. My father had a horse in the 1940's, but that was before I was on the scene, it might have helped slightly when I wanted a horse, he did take me horsebackriding for the first time. Kim

Judy, These pictures were absolutely priceless! So glad you posted them. Got a new puppy today from the local shelter...a newfie/rottie cross. He's an 11 week old bundle of energy and I'm tired! But he already knows how to sit thanks to the clicker. Had his first taste of horse poop today and thought it was absolutely smashing ;-) . Trish
