so when icelandic horses bolt the big problem is probably coming up on rocky area or something. A man told me a horror story the other day, of being on a horse that bolted and fell through the middle of one of those old country bridges that are basically two wide planks across a creek. The horse slammed on the brakes and the man went over his head and through the space in the bridge planks and then the horse went in, and the horse got stuck, frantic paddling hooves right over the mans head and just as he cleared the horse the horse fell all the way in beside him in the swift flowing creek. It was a miracle they were both unharmed. janice-- yipie tie yie yo
