Up until the past hundred years, most Icelandic horses had to survive on
their own over the white, perishing Icelandic winters. Who knows what they saw under the white moon over Iceland? I wrote a poem "The Night Troll" using that motif. Corvid Queen is publishing it in January 2020.
In the meantime, here's some lovely film footage of Iceland at night under the moon. Jakobina Ragnhildur sings "Moonlight Shadow" in Icelandic.
In Greek mythology, Pegasus was the horse of the Muses. Why can't a horse be a muse for a modern writer? My passion is writing about history, horses, and humor often featuring my Icelandic horse Blessi. My non-fiction articles have been published in multiple magazines and several countries. I am writing a book titled Rough Riding Through the White House: The Adventures of the Pony Algonquin and the Roosevelt Children. Meanwhile, here are my thoughts on writing.
