Lets say Texas.......yes Americans slaughter thousands of horses every year, we are just as sinful as those Icelanders.....lets face it. Of course what does India think of Cow slaughter? One mans meat is anothers sacred or honored animal. And if any of my Icelandics can work until they are 36 I will be tickled pink! I can think of a lot of horses that do not make it to 25.....let alone work till that age.....We are talking about averages...and on the average Icelandics and ponies tend to be useful longer than some other breeds......When we tell people our mare is about to foal and they ask how old is she, when they hear 19, most people are very surprised that we would breed her and that she is healthy, looks great and is Very ridable. I think 38 is pretty amazing....... Storme ____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!
