You know I wish that pics like this were the norm in the Icelandic horse world. No behind the vertical. No loin sitting. No tight nosebands. No girths half way down the horse's belly. No harsh bits. No harsh hands. No straining and ventro flexing. No weighted quarter boots. What we have here is a good rider, with good hands, who has spent time carefully training a horse that may not have had the best start. If you were considering this horse for breeding, you would know exactly what he was capable of....with no human intervention involved with his gaits. Mandy has done a nice job with him. Wanda
