Posted with writer's permission. Linda is comparing Clementine her donkey to an IcePony. <;]
I think the little icelandic she is referring too, is a great breed ambassador. Linda was impressed most with what she saw outside of the ring/arena. That is what we need to show non icelandic horse people. not little ponies running around with sparklers on their legs. "I mentioned some of the gorgeous breed example-horses at Equine Affair, but I forgot to mention a couple of my favorites. :-) There was a really cute little Iceland gelding who was so calm and sweet, and took everything in stride. Seemed like Clementine, when I take her anywhere, but a little less pushy about meeting people. Some of the other horses were snorting and prancing, or spooking and staring hard at everything, while being led to and from their various clinics, but this little dude was just hanging out. I saw his handler puttering around bareback on him a few times, and another time sitting at a picnic table having a snack while he just stood there letting people pet him, and hoping she would share the muffins she had. :-) If you're looking for a fuzzy, short, sweet-natured, calm, personable horse, give Icelandic horses a look.
