Good question. > Does that mean Deer like?

What happened? Another good question. Sometimes there are horses with problems and maybe we don't know why or how they came to have problems. If it's genetic, probably not a good idea to use them for breeding. > And one of my pet peeves with horse ads, no price......no > location...... This horse was not for sale. I agree that all horses for sale should have sales prices and that is required on the Icelandic Horses for Sale Board. http://iceryder.net/forsale.html Sometimes, with some of the horses that come through the IceHorse Rescue, the owners want a certain amount of anonymity. I try to pre-screen potential homes, according to the current owners' requests and input, as well as suitability for the horse, before putting the inquiring party and the current owner in touch.
