Ickis is my best friend. When I first saw him, he was kinda ratty looking. He was a lot darker than he is now, and he needed a shoeing but he was so friendly- he just seemed to click with me right away. The Livingstons of Sweetwater Paso Finos had been caring for him, and they were wonderful people. Their trainers even saddled my new beast up and took me on a ride! I couldn't be more thrilled with shelling out my college fund for a horse:-) They had Ickis's sire, Impetuoso del Ocho at the time, so I could see a resemblance between my new son, and Impetuoso. Ickis was basically just like him, only smaller. He was the sweetest animal in the world to me, so we brought him home to Illinois, all the way from Dallas, Texas. Now that he has gotten quite a grass belly, has pretty good hooves, his vaccinations, and his coat brushed daily, he knows that he is He simply has to cock an ear sideways, and the discussion is over, his wish granted. He's also proven to be multi-talented, much to everyone's (but not my) surprise. His past owners had only shown him as a fino horse (aka very expensive, very useless for any real riding), but he loves saddleseat, dressage, and even jumping and trail! He's all I ever wanted in a horse, and I'm very thankful our paths crossed. He's been my shoulder to cry on, a study partner (knows more algebra than I do), and a partner in crime!
