>>>> Oddly, I much prefer the registered Icelandic of the two mares. I don't know if this is just a coincidence or if there was something lost to Tosca with the infusion of that other breed.
Well, just remember, that could be purely coincidence. There are individual Icelandic's within my purebred and registered Icelandic horses that appeal to me much more than other equally purebred and registered horses! It might have nothing to do with the 1/4 non-Icelandic blood, just a difference in individual horses. :) Karen Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED]
