Hi, My name is Jackie. I have 2 paint 1/4horses that I rode basic dressage before my baby was born. I do not show. I rode mostly for the love of riding. I have owned horses for a very long time. A friend of mine just sent me some pics from Swenden of these Iceland ponies. Now, I am interested in learning more about them. We are planning on buying a pony in a few years when my daughter is old enough. Can anyone tell me a little more about these ponies. Are they easy keeper? How are they around children? Are they gaited? Can you do "basic" english...on the bit..soft rounded back working from behind? What do these ponies cost? Can a 135lb person ride them?
I would love to learn more about these ponies before a run out and buy one. I am one of those people that fall in love with their animals and my animals are just a big part of our family.
