Friends for Life

These two colts found each other in a field full of mares and foals at a very young age. They formed a friendship which continued until they died at age 35. They are probably among the first Icelandic horses to be born in this country. Their mothers came from Iceland pregnant by different stallions in February 1960. This picture shows them at about 5 months old.



Here are the same two colts 35 years later and still best buddies.

I want to Thank Annie Shields again for sharing this rare insight into the 1960 shipment of Icelandic horses.

Do you have an Icelandic with the 1960's lineage?



If you do, email and let me know. Would like to post photos, stories and lineage of your Icelandic that has the early blood lines.
