>>>>When he was four they sent him out for 30 days and he returned with no trust in humans whatsoever. The trainer called him crazy.... He was too weak to ride and was still nervous. He'd sweat and his heart would pound at the site of the arena ...There are four of us who ride him and he has dumped all but one of us in a panic. Mounting seems to hold some evil memories.
Some of these horses just are not meant to be ridden... for whatever reason. That reason could be physical... maybe their backs just are not able to carry the weight of a person. It could be ulcers from his history of not enough food, or stress from training. It could be the type of training he went thru. It could be his basic personality. Normally we think of Icelandics as calm, quiet tempered, but there are those who are schizy, nervous, and leave-me-alone horses. They may never make reliable riding horses. Baldur... I may remember him.... What color is he? Born in 98? Judy http://icehorses.net http://clickryder.com
