I just listened to it. First, I wish they would all get their definition of tolt straight, I mean all have the same definition. He said it was a singlefoot gait, with even 4 beat. That's what I always heard them say. Now the USIHC has a different definition. I will have to look at their show rules, I think it is *supposed* to be a singlefoot gait. Did Gudmar sound a little uncomfortable to anyone else when Rick Lamb asked him what would happen to a nasty stallion, would he be gelded? :) Maybe eat him. Can people do the training themselves? He said basic training yes, like stop, go, but keeping the gaits separate, you need someone who knows what they are doing with Icelandics$$$$$ An American Saddlebred trainer might do... Rick Lamb asked him if you use a loose rein on pace, he said you want a light rein. Oh and the natural horsemanship thing. Trying to sound like he uses natural horsemanship. You know, maybe these Icelandic trainers in the US should go to see what natural horsemanship is about, he didn't really convince me, at all. Sorry. Kim
