Hi Karen, >Hey, Wanda, just curious...is "fitted" a normally used English word in >Canada in that context, or does that suggest that the wording was written >by a non-English speaker? (I know you didn't write it.)
The website was originally set up by people who did have English as a first language but their parents didn't and it was probably the latter that wrote it. The kids job was website design so I think that is how it happened and then Wanda thankfully took it over with the help of Cara. It is quite amusing, in a way, because one of the things that most people find that start Icelandics, is that they are generally very easy to start as long as you have some common sense and are reasonable humans. We tell people to work with them on the ground, get them going under saddle -with stop, go, turn and see what they might offer as you go along in terms of gait. I actually think that it is just a few of the Icelandic breeders in Canada that have that kind of attitude about training, or the horses in general.
