I think we can clearly see that the dropped nosebands on Icelandic Horses are not a good thing. Combining them with bits that don't fit, and hands that are too heavy, is not a good thing. There does not seem to be an understanding of the biomechanics of the noseband, the bit, the hands, natural gait. Watch the videos of the WC http://www.notion.net/icelandichorses2007/qtpromo.html http://www.notion.net/icelandichorses2007/qtpreviewT1.html So many horses are fighting the bit... someone should do something about that type of riding.
