true. this is why i said i'd turn stjarni out with the studded boots to see what he felt comfortable doing before i'd ever try riding with them. last year, with borium, he was pretty comfortable in icy conditions; this year, barefoot, he reacts quite differently. since he's the one with his feet on the ground, i am really trying to figure out how stuff feels to him, and defer to his good judgement.
