One more...

...piece of the puzzle, or maybe just a hint,
on the origin of the Iceland horse, then again, off it went;
the Haflinger may have been somewhere in the mix,
or, just maybe, the other way around, just sticks.

Bred in Austria and Italy in the late eighteen hundreds, but...
..from what now we just aren't sure, or is it covered up?
No harm, no foul, no one can say now,
but this horse is beautiful, and it contains no cow.
Just take a look, what do you see?
beauty, muscle and variety,
harness, saddle make your choice,
or just look, relax, rejoice.
Running free or working, it's a gentle soul,
hook one to your wagon, and watch it roll;
there are still some of this breed, working as we say,
I wonder if I'll see one soon, or maybe just today.
Look at this! A Princess rides in among the flower,
on a horse so beautiful, and full of raw power.
This is a fine example, of a horses love,
to carry a small child, as in the scene above.

Enjoy!
