Hi Robyn, These are my sentiments, too. I've ridden with maybe a half dozen Icelandic trainers and they were very different in style. Three or four of them I would definitely consider to be "good horsemen", who know and follow the principles of good training. As a clicker trainer, I've learned to focus on the positive and ignore what I don't want. It may make the list a little more boring, but in the long run, I think it is a more effective way to change the world. Mary
