Location: East Tennessee, USA, Planet Earth | They are beautiful horses...love the ears! I'm sure if you google, you may find a few in the USA. I am also sure they are big bucks. BTW...did you know that they are gaited.  |

Location: St. Paul, MN | I've read all the articles I have been able to find on the 'net. Yes, I know they are gaited and quiet. This is one of the reasons I'm interested. The cost to import is very high. A while back I found a link for someone who was breeding and selling them here in the US. I was a little concerned about the integrity of their breeding program and now I can't even find the info on them. I hoped to find a reliable breeder through this forum or at least someone who's had personal experience with them. Thanks for any info. |

Location: St. Paul, MN | Thanks for contact in FL. I'm not sure if that was in my file but I will check. Also, I think the Icelandics are great horses. The Mangalarga has my interest based on size, versatility, temperament, and of course uniqueness in this area. The original breeder I had come across was either in Colorado or California. I got the impression they were doing some cross breed breeding. |
