The interesting thing is, the guy who owns this horse is actually
Icelandic, but has lived in this country for 15 years. He uses a mix
of methods, some trad, a lot of NH as well. He's worked
when nasi was a two year old and not gelded, a woman who owned a grade

that?

Cost - far more expensive than the local gypsy cob. And the nearest

I would, but I'm not the one training him - he grew up with me, but

This one is about 13.2hh - the mare is 12.1hh, so not too
