So S.C. Frami became "Magic" and has remained so. For the first couple of years I had him, I sometimes had to stop and think about what his registered name was when someone asked!?! Ferne PS Many registered horses of other breeds are called by their "barn" names, so I see no reason why we can't do the same with Icelandics. Remington is a good example of a well-known Icelandic called by his "barn" name.
