Well they are out in the Ka'u pasture right now......raising babies.
I will ask my friend if her camers has a video option, mabye we can
get it......Skyfaxa is not moving at a very fast rate right now, her
colt is 3 months old and we lovingly refer to her as Skyfatsa...she
is pretty wide. Ha! As am I.
But it can be something I work on, and mabye send directly to you
Judy.....since where we live no one really knows what a rack is, we
use the videos of Dan Slott and of one that was made in Iceland and
shown I think on Discovery channel years ago....we give these out to
prospective buyers to gain more interest, after they watch those we
have them out to ride, starting off in a round pen, then if they are
actually riders, take them out on the trails......when they feel the
rack out on the trails, they are sold. Everytime.
Since I can not produce a video like the ones I have access to I have
not made videos....and have not really focused on getting our horses
on film......people come over and they can feel it for themselves
when they ride.
Infact, right now we have a shortage of riding horses to sell...there
are 2 people who live here who probably will go over to the mainland
to purchase other icelandics.....1 friend will go to Robyns place, as
he has taken clinics there before, and the other friend will go to S.
California in September, and would like to go horse shopping then....
Marketing in an area that is sooooo cowboy, quarterhorsey can be
difficult.....but we are making headway with the people whop are
looking for something different....people who want to ride and have
fun.......we have Icelandics in every district now.....its pretty
exciting.
