And another: >>>At the Equine Affair in Pomona last February, I visited all the pony booths. The reason was to get information out to them regarding the Mountain & Moorland events planed for the year and to find out if the southland pony groups would be interested in a future West Coast All Pony Show. I was told, by the representative at the Icelandic booth, that they would not attend such an event as they were classified as Horses and NOT Ponies! I was surprised by her reaction and made my conclusion that I wouldn't want them there because of that attitude. (Remember, this is why it is so important at these events like EA, that we represent our ponies in a positive way, because that would be enough to make me not want to even consider an Icelandic) I know, not every Icelandic owner and breeder is like that but that was the message from their booth in Pomona.<<<< Judy http://icehorses.net http://clickryder.com
