Well I understand that....I just do not see why there has to be such chasms between all of us that love this breed. They can be used for competitions They are great trail mounts-which I believe Dans video showed They can be shoed, or barefoot depending on your pastures and riding situations and the quality of their feet...most of the Icelandics here have great feet, but there are a couple of Icelandics here whose feet have to have more attention too-both were Pintos.... I just wish we could agree to disagree and know some people love and care for their horses differently than others... It was just a short time ago I was writing about barefoot here on this list and no responses...as if all the people on the list thought I was talking from outer space....personalities should become secondary... Thats something that comes from 12 step programs...its a nice thing when in practice. If we could put our personalities aside and focus on how we all love and care for them....
