I was just noting that altho many different colors there seems to be quite a few of very similar shape, particularly very (nicely) short backed. And most breeders I know, mostly walking horse breeders, go for specific bloodlines. but I guess in icelandics they are almost all from the same lines really... I was just curious about that. And what you are "going for" when breeding. Whatever it is they are an awesome beautiful herd! Janice -- yipie tie yie yo
