Shorthorse is named after a very special horse, an Icelandic, that came into our lives in 2003. His name is Brimir (Icelandic for "Sword"). He was 14 years old when I got him, and the most perfect horse possible for me at that time. Gentle, well trained, short (13.2 hands), gaited (the Icelandic gait is called a "tolt") sweet, energetic, well mannered, and adorable.
Don and I had tossed around a lot of names for our Montana place, but he was the one who came up with "Shorthorse." Not "Shorthorse Ranch" or "Shorthorse Lodge" or "Shorthorse Anything Else." Just plain "Shorthorse." Like Gus' Latin phrase (in "Lonesome Dove") it just sort of says itself.
