Do you know what he's talking about when he refers to a character type called the "Origin".
I got side-tracked in my research (didn't really know where to look) into the origin of the Icelandic. They strike me as probably not descended from the Darley Arabian type horse that is supposed to be the beginning of all warm blooded breeds. They seem to me to be responding to training almost as any other breed would, but everything seems to go more easily and quickly. Obviosuly I can only speak for the two I own, but they seem to have a learning style more like a good dog. Nancy
