>>>Now the poor horses that land in Florida or AZ or southern CA are at mercy to its owners and their good sense.
I don't think this is literally what you're talking about, Sylvia, but I've heard people imply that it's cruel to bring Icelandic's to the warm parts of the US. I do agree that we need to take action when they are uncomfortable, but for the record, my Icelandics seem to do wonderfully well in the heat in June-August - no difference from any other breed. In fact, I've noticed some really hot days when my non-icelandic's seek shade, but the Icelandic's voluntarily stay in the broiling sun, not appearing uncomfortable at all. The only times they seem at a disadvantage is when they have their winter coats. Karen Thomas, NC No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
