As a first time Icelandic owner, I'm learning a lot from this group. I wanted to share my exciting news - last weekend I climbed aboard Bo, my Icelandic gelding, for the very first time. He's several months past his 4th birthday and I was thrilled that he was so accepting of me sitting on his back.
I've read that some Iceys are started at 4 years of age - others recommend 5. I'm having difficulty in deciding how much longer I should wait to begin a light riding program. Iceys mature much differently than the other breeds of horses I have owned. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! CJ
