>>>Great. "Dare-devil acts." "Technical stunts." Look at the wording - does that even make any pretense of horsemanship skill? Nope, just flash and glitz.<<< If this were not sad, it would be funny... years ago, when we started using the platforms, clicker training, riding in halters, etc., the Icelanders were up in arms at us making their horse into circus ponies. Now they are doing it themselves! >>>The traveling group will include a total of 16 horses along with riders, >>>a team director and an assistant. <<< And some poor suckers will buy those 16 horses, probably for five figures, who have a great potential for leg problems. I don't suppose the USIHC would take a stand against these poor horses being exploited? Judy http://icehorses.net http://clickryder.com
