You know there I am banging on about how much Id love an Icelandic horse in the future, my dream horse but in reality I actually do have my dream horse, Daxter is perfect in so many ways, he's small, the smallest horse or rather pony at 13.3hh, a connemara pony, not a breed I ever craved or thought about owning and I came into buying him on a kinda spur of the moment oh heck just buy him although 1 he wasn't cheap and 2 he was very underweight and 3 he had signs of navicular and 4 the seller was scared to lope him!
Ive been riding him almost daily recently, he's prob along with you lot the only thing keeping me alive right now :)
He is amazing in traffic, our road is crazy right now, they are putting a pipeline in and there's wagkns hauling super long loads and he doesn't bat an eyelid and they are passing us each ride about a dozen times along with 30 plus trucks, have to say all the works drivers are really good, worst are the locals!
Dax reminds me of a guys horse I rode back in scotland, she was a mare, skinny tb polo type, only 15hh, I loved riding her, she had too high a head carriage but was bouncy but controllable, Dax is the same, he's a prancer, bounces alone the road, he goes if you want him to too, he has pony attitude, which I love!
He has his faults, he has his ears back a lot which took a lot of getting used to, it's just his way, I used to think it was bad attitude but it's not, he spooks at silly things but his spook is a jump right up in the air, I feel completely safe on him, I can't wait till I have an arena to start jumping him, that will be fun too.
I love this pony and am so glad I did buy him:)
