Same in Europe. A pony is any equine under 14.2hh. So - what, something like 90%? of Icelandics are ponies? What is SOOOOOO wrong with ponies? Is it because people often spoil ponies so they bite and kick etc? (and of course that never happens with horses) Is it because ponies are only suitable for kids? (tell that to the New Forest, Exmoor, Fell, Dale and Highland breeders in the UK alone! - not to mention Haflingers, Fjords etc etc) *head desk* Mic Mic (Michelle) Rushen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Solva Icelandic Horses and DeMeulenkamp Sweet Itch Rugs: www.solva-icelandics.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes"
