On a side note, does anyone know why they call them Icelandic horses rather than ponies? They look like ponies to me...

LOL! I think they're called horses for the reason Arabs are called horses even if they're under 14.2 hands. They can carry the weight of a full grown man and used to cart Vikings around.

It'a anatomical :) Their proportions are horse proportions and their ability to carry weight compared to body size is horse. Same as miniature horses. :)

*has now looked at a very Icy piccies* They still look like cute fluffy ponies to me :) Although I would KILL for the op to actually ride one, they look so hella fun. I like being a short-ass; can ride the little horses without feeling like a flea sitting on a grapefruit :P I must be getting old, I'm liking them shorter and shorter. Oi my aching knees...;P hey did you see the Geocaching map screen-shot I took of the area near SRF? :) You so need to do it, Dom...come to the dark side...join us....jooooooin usss.....>:D

Dom's right. It's about proportions. If you ever make it to Indiana I've got a friend with two Iceys. I'm sure she could be convinced to let me hijack one or both of them for a day.

Emo horse is emo.

I ran an online community for about 8 years that made many emo pony pictures. It's how I got to know Dom - she let us use her photos :D
