> I believe Anneliese got her first Icelandic's around 1982? That is correct - a stallion (Landi) and two mares (Mila and Pila) bought from Elisabeth Haug.
> How many Icelandics has Robyn and her family had in Canada, imports and > domestic borns? That's for Robyn to answer. > > How many has Anneliese had? Lost track - about 100 or a few more total. > > How many did Elisabeth have here in the USA? Does she still have any? Many-many. I think she still has a few but basically dispersed her large herd a few years ago. > Who else had Icelandic's in North America in the late 1970's or early > 1980's - or before? Lauri Veness on Washington Island, Wisconsin and Peggy Dulaney in Washington. Who else? I don't know how early Betsy Covert and Caryn Cantella and a few others got into the breed - I think around 1985 and then Anne Elwell in New Jersey. Dan Slott came in in the late 1980's I think. > > I seem to remember seeing some photocopies of some old handbills from the > early 1900's - I think even one or two from the mid-1800's - advertising > "Iceland Ponies". Does anyone else remember those? I think that was in Colorado; I think there even was an early registry that subsequently went defunct. > Karen Thomas, NC > Anneliese
