> Why can't it be mentioned?
It is unnecessary detail, unrelated to the point of the discussion which is that the poster said: "The first thing that turned me off about the Icelandics was that I would have to find an Icelandic trainer... my friend's Icey seems a bit aloof.... then I found out they were not suitable for beginners. My friend has owned her Icelandic for over a year now, and they still don't seem bonded." Point being that people outside of the breed see the breed differently than we see it, and it's not always what Betty wants. Judy http://icehorses.net http://clickryder.com
