Personally, I would not take lessons from an icelandic-style riding instructor or trainer.
There are a few reasons for this: [] They do not have well-rounded experience or education in riding styles or disciplines to bring out the best in the horse naturally. [] Force, heavy contact, mechanical aids are used. [] Supporting them, in my opinion, supports the abusive practices and keeps the problems perpetuated in the breed.
