well, then why did she choose an american to quote so extensively? i'm sure there are all kinds of fools in america raising horses in all kinds of stupid ways without reference to iceland. and i'm sure iceland has its set of equal fools. but it's got good horsepeople too, and i object ot the generalization, particularly coming from someone who is not even part of the presumed set. --vicka
