Hi Judy, A trail riding friend of mine was looking for a horse matching that description a couple of years ago. She really, really wanted an Icey, but ended up buying a Haflinger. There was one reason only - price. She bought a beautiful, 8 yr old, well trained Haflinger gelding for around $3500. She couldn't find a comparable Icey for less than twice that amount. Mary
