All horses jump, to some extent, but if he was talking competitive or excelling at jumping, he's probably right. For an Icelandic jumper, I'd go with a three-gaited Icelandic. >>>I don't think all of them jump that well, so many might not be suited for jumping, but I don't doubt that there are some who would be really good at it. I wouldn't really expect gaited horses to be able to jump very well<<< They don't have the hind end conformation that makes a really good jumper. And some aren't able to bascule very well; hence they are not *known* as jumpers. Judy http://icehorses.net http://clickryder.com
