I know I was negative and I should apologize. And I do. but also, I think honestly, we have so many wonderful domestic breeders and canadian breeders of icelandic horses that we should encourage people whenever possible to buy from them. Too often people buy horses with exhorbitant prices from iceland that are misrepresented, ill bred with forged and dishonest paperwork, horses with terrible behavior and health problems sold as sound of health and mind by people who think its amusing to sell to stupid foreigners. I say its time to cut the apron strings with iceland. They are not a good source of icelandic horses. There are too many wonderful domestic and canadian born and bred horses in need of good homes. And I think we should be honest about this from now on.
To the person wanting to buy, please don't be offended and discouraged by my negativity. I am just hoping and praying you find a good horse from a reputable ethical person, and i think the odds of you doing that are greatly improved if you purchase a horse born and bred in the US or Canada. which isnt to say there arent some messed up ones here also, just make sure you seek a horse with open eyes and mind.
