Wow...according to this article an Icelandic Horse can carry up to 1/3 of it's weight by the age of four. Hum...that would mean a 800 lb IcePony would be able to carry about 266 lbs. Hum.
A comment from the article "Eggert told me that the tölt is a 4-beat lateral gait where the horse always has at least one foot on the ground, and that I needed to sit a little farther behind in the saddle than I normally would, and to lean slightly back." http://tinyurl.com/ys4yo8 Raven Lucy & Molly, the Girl Doggies Huginn, the American Ice Pony Dixie Chick, the Barn Goddess Respect ALL Earthlings.
