Well I beg to differ......I have one here with no Dam or Sire listed We have some mares here with no 1st prize Stallions, but of course I am sure that that does not mean much to you...... I have other mares here from 1st prize stallions and an amazing pedigrees > When you say "it isnt an evil thing to do, to use your horse for > showing" "to ride an expensive icelandic," they are all expensive! Your was not expensive, so I do not know where you are coming from on this one. > They are all similar in pedigree, they are all expensive. They are not all similar in Pedigree, I have looked at many and they are not all similar, there are different lines of breeding, different regions in Iceland, Germany, Denmark, Canada etc.....sorry, but on this you just do not know what you are talking about. Why do you assume a person who doesnt show and trail rides, is out there on an inferior mutt horse that was cheap?? I never Assumed that-that is your negetive attitude again rearing its head. I do not show, I only trail ride...the mare I rode today does not even have papers.....call her a mutt if you want, I do not. And where do you get the idea that just because a person does not choose to breed they know nothing about breeding??!? Again I do not have that idea......that is your attitude about what You think I am thinking, you are assuming instead of asking or clarifying. To say someone knows Nothing, would be a pretty Big statement. I could not say that about you as I do not know you or your background in horses..... > I believe icelandic horse evaluations are meaningless You are intitled to your opinion, but please do not put down people who do not agree with you. > I believe a good trail horse is more valuable than a good show > horse. I believe we might actually have something in common if you choose to read my words with an open mind. I breed quality TRAIL horses, and ride them, that is the one of the goals of my breeding program. > I believe an expensive well gaited well trained obedient trail mount is a more valuable thing to have than an expensive horse with weights around its feet running circles around an arena I have not seen Icelandics with weights around its feet, Walkers, yes. Again we might disagree on what constitutes a weight...but mabye you are Confusing Evaluations with Competitions. The rules are different. S. Lee
