A good horse can make its rider "king for a while," according to
Icelandic poetry. But finding a good horse requires a keen and
practiced eye. One must see beyond the obvious
attributes--appearance, color, and size--to discern a horse's true
personality and temperament. Nancy Marie Brown puts her eye to the
test when she travels to Iceland to find the perfect Icelandic
horse she can bring home to her Pennsylvania farm and make her own.
She arrives in Iceland shaken by tragedy, uncertain of the
language, lacking confidence in her riding skills; but she's
determined to make her search a success. She finds inspiration in
the country's austere and majestic landscape, which is alive with
the ghosts of an adventure-filled past. In the glacier-carved
hinterland, she rides a variety of Icelandic horses--some spirited,
willful, even heroic; others docile, trusting, or tame. She also
meets an assortment of horse owners, who can be as independent as
the animals they breed. Evocative, clear-headed, and richly
described, this book is for anyone who has at some time in their
life searched for something perfect.
