Hi Judy,
THank you for the advice. I have been to the barn
before and they seemed very kind to the horses. They
use a lot of dressage in the training. But I will ask
questions and check to see if they use such
practices. I would never support anyone who did not
train using humane methods. I appreciate the
"heads-up." There are inhumane trainers in all breeds
and diciplines and that is one thing I look for.
There is just no excuse for such barbaric training
methods. I am really sorry to hear that some Icelandic
trainers do not use natural horsemanship methods.
Maria
