also Karen fyi since you are a breeder... when people are looking to
buy and they havent ever owned an icelandic, they read the hype and
get the impression that as far as investment/value goes, its best to
have one that is five-gaited. I thought that! So it becomes a
question you THINK you should ask. I am grateful when I talked with
helen about Nasi that she did not BS me about it. I asked if he did a
flying pace and she explained to me about the gait and then asked was
it important to me. After she explained the horse has to be in good
shape and adequately warmed up for it, that it takes a long long
straightaway and that it is a fast racing gait not appropriate to
pleasure riding I said "hmm. Not really!"
