>>> To be honest I don't think they really give a damn about international
exposure - they're working quietly with their own horses, and having a nice
time. Icelanders as a nation are renowned for being bloody awful at replying
to letters or emails, and most of the Icelanders I know are far too busy to
bother with things like the list, or updating websites, writing to magazines
etc.


If that's their priorities, then that's certainly their prerogative.  It's
perfectly ok with me - I have more good trainers that I can watch (in
person, on video) in the USA than I can get around to anyway.


I'm kinda curious though...in a country that has 23 hours of darkness in the
winter, what are they busy doing year-round?  That was a rhetorical
question.  I don't expect an answer of course.  (The word, "busy", just made
me think about their world's highest per capita consumption of alcohol, for
some reason...)


BTW, somewhere I read that Icelanders have a very high per capita access to
computers and to the internet - maybe one of the highest in the world.
Interesting that they conveniently don't have time to answer basic questions
about horsemanship...

"The greatest enemy of the truth very often is not the lie- deliberate, 
contrived and dishonest -- but the myth -- persistent, persuasive and 
unrealistic."

"All truth passes through three stages.
First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed.
Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." ~ Arthur Schopenhauer
