-------------Oh this just saddens me.  All I can think of is the 
Saddlebred show circuit where they use things like these to make those 
poor horses lift their knees to their noses.  I never thought they used 
this kind of stuff in the Icelandic Horse show world.  But it seems 
that perhaps it is unfortunately started to head that way.  Boy, does 
it ever make me want to take a stand RIGHT NOW and help people realize 
that this is NOT the way to impress the real world of horsepeople.
