I have a new online friend, Josee from Montreal, Quebec who has been riding her Icelandic, Glaesir now for a number of years. She chose Icelandic because she needs a smooth ride, she has myelitis transverse and uses a wheelchair (or cane on her good days).
She bought Glaesir from Maple Leaf Icelandic Horse Farm (where I bought Gat & Orri) about 7 years ago and recently when she was looking for their website she found me (Orri from Maple Leaf Icelandic Horse Farm) and asked me about the farm. I told her that the farm sold all their horses, etc. Anyways--we've been corresponding. She's moving to her new home on October 30 and will be able to bring her Glaesir from the boarding barn to live at home so now she's looking for another Icelandic for a companion to Glaesir and for her husband to ride. She says she's looking for a calm gelding big enough for her husband who weighs 175lb. but she also asks for a horse that tolts good so she probably wants to ride it as well. She has been corresponding with Kathryn Love who told her that Gudmar has many horses and that she should go to Kentucky to look but I don't think Josee has told Kathryn of her abilities and what she's looking for. I told Josee I would put the 'word' out on the list for her and she was happy about that. I told her that she would be welcome to join the list but she hasn't and that may be because English doesn't come easy to her--her emails can be an interesting read. :D So -- here's the 'word' for Josee...anyone who has a calm, tolting gelding needing a good home in Canada can let me know and I can pass it on to Josee. Thanks, V
