Kvedja Malin in a sunny Iceland -Well, here is a perpective from the Parelli student in Iceland. Unfortunately, she doesn't see anything wrong with it. But this is one of her first posts from a few years ago and maybe her perspective has changed.)
Trish ?! What is wrong with not riding fast on pavements and hard road? And what make´s me Malin a Parelli student???or did I miss something?? > "By the way, did any of you know that here in Iceland during the winter > there are often held riding competitions on ice. Sometimes in ice > stadiums and sometimes on frozen lakes. How cool is that " > > Trish > To answer this,to ride on Ice on a Lake is something diffirent than in a stadium as the lake ice is on a water pillow and is therefore a softer ice than a stadium ice . Also the man made ice is harder then the one by nature so that have a one day competion (3 min) on a lake is nota big deal for horse as it happens maybe two time´s in a lifetime and no training is dun several weeks before as this competions is held when we have Ice that happens to be a few day´s each winter. the last winter we had 1 competion in our area and then the Ice was gone and I live in north of Iceland Kvedja Malin
