[QUOTE="judy, post: 371427, member: 965"]Hello Fredrik! I have a question for you.........that the dalahest is actually a replica of the Icelandic horse? I actually just rode one of these horses when I was in Iceland just about a week ago. I have not found any reference to the dalahest being a replica of the Icelandic horse. Only that the (a) horse came to Sweden 4000 years ago. No mention of Icelandic in the reference. At the Laxnes Farm where we visited and took a 2 hr. tour on horseback (rough terrain for me, a complete novice) I learned that the Iceland horse is still a pure breed. No other horses are allowed in Iceland, and if by chance one is taken out of the Country, it is not allowed back in. I ask only for my own knowledge, because if it is true, then I just learned my something new for the day!! Thank you in advance.:cat:[/QUOTE]
