No, not a thing. I'm not surprised - disappointed, but not surprised. However, one good result - I went to a show at the weekend, and there was not one Icelandic bit used with a flash noseband. One competitor used a tom thumb with a flash (but used it well and the horse was not resisting at all), another used the same combination and the horse was not so happy, but it's a big improvement on the last show. There was a lot of discussion on the GB list about Icelandic bits used with flashes - seems like some of it penetrated. Interestingly, any horses that were not shod at the show a month ago are now shod. We've had a lot of wet weather, and a farrier I was chatting with said many of his clients who normally ride barefoot can't at the moment as there horse's feet are so soggy and soft.
