OK, remember that video on an icelandic website, showing a young guy who had just learned some stuff from Monty Roberts, dragging the young horse's head around? Here's the link: http://www.hestafrettir.is/veftv/default.asp?MovieID=170&CategoryID=18 I think it has to be very confusing to the horse to be asked to go (twirling the rope at him), and he goes.... and at some point somebody yanks on his head out of the blue. It just doesn't seem very fair to the horse. Judy http://icehorses.net http://clickryder.com
