Hi Robyn: I don't know what's going on with other gaited breeds other than what I see presented sometimes on this list, but I know I've really started to cringe when I've seen videos or pics of what is going on in the Icelandic show world.. AND that's the world that tugs at my heart strings. I looked through a site that someone sent the other day and while there were many good pics, there were tons that turned my stomach. I would like to see FEIF train it's judges properly and send a message about this type of riding. When asked by outsiders about this type of riding - I refuse to defend it anymore. It's just bad.
