>>> I posted before about looking at my first Icelandic and needing help. I thought I would properly introduce myself. I am Joanne and I live in NJ. Right now I have 4 horses (all gaited but not Icelandic). I have learned a bit on here already and hope to learn more. Does anyone have any good websites for learning about this breed and maybe some bloodlines? Thanks in advance!
Welcome Joanne! Good luck on your purchase. I always look at the particular horse first, and only look at pedigrees and bloodlines when I'm pretty sure I'm interested in the horse for what he/she is. I know a lot of people buy only on bloodlines, but I think that's pretty risky, and even a little silly. Just thing about human "pedigrees". Just think about some siblings you know that don't seem anything at all alike. When people start bragging about bloodlines, I always remind them to think about Jimmy and Billy Carter, or Roger and Bill Clinton... And Abe Lincoln sure came from humble beginnings! :) Welcome again! Karen Thomas, NC -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
