>>> They are also half sisters. It made me think of the studies regarding
separated twins who grew up very much alike, although having never lived
together. There seems to be
some sort of genetic bond.

I don't know, Karen, I do think there is something to this. My Arab
was always glad to see other Arabs, more so than other breeds and Doppa was
in a mixed breed herd before I got her and the horse she was closest to was
another Icelandic that she had never seen before.
I don't think there's
Tosca, Yrsa and Lina all came from the same farm. Lina was sold and came to
Applegate two or three years before our mares. She also moved from Oregon
to Virginia and back in that time. Yet, when we pastured Lina and Tosca
together, they acted as if they were old friends. They are also half

So, maybe they have bonded because they knew they came from the same
farm.
I think horses know what horses are on their farm, even if they aren't
boarded in the same pastures. Usually, they see each other at least from
afar, or for short periods - maybe one trail riding next to each other's

Do your Icelandics stick together? At our boarding barn my two are
always together--they may interact a bit with the 'big' horses once in a
while, but most of the time you see them together.
I think the idea that Icelandic's only want to hang with other Icelandic's
is WAY over-played. I D

At our boarding barn my two are always together--they may interact a

I have three "herds" and i think therein lies the problem, or part of
it. One herd is Stonewall and Traveller and Jaspar. Stonewall and
Traveller have been together since birth and are the same exact age
and they act like brothers who fight. Its just constant. They

Actually, Hunter lives at a boarding facility where there are 50 horses. If
there are five horses in a pasture, they put out six stacks of hay, and they
still play musical hay piles. I bring him into a large pen/shelter at
night just because I don't want him to have to compete for food. Do you
Anyway, non-horsey has every horse we've ever had here join his liberty

stall and Yrsa sedately and quietly walks into her stall. One of them has

Janice, I promise you they don't. I wonder if it compounds with numbers.
My non-horsey husband feeds in the evening after he picks out the two stalls
(bless him). Twist and Yrsa are not stabled, but at least one of them gets
locked in to eat and they both seem to prefer stalls for potty.
