Deep and solid change takes time - as frustrating as it is. I don't think we are going to change the minds of the people deeply embedded in the world of show Icelandics but I do feel there is good being done in those people on the periphery that might go either way - depending on their influence. As these people see "the light" the numbers will start to weigh further and further into the positive side - then we will see more change in a bigger scope - it is so hard to keep plugging, though, when the change happens so slowly and horses are suffering in the meantime.-- Laree in NC Doppa & Mura Simon, Sadie and Sam (the "S" gang) "Yet when all the books have been read and reread, it boils down to the horse, his human companion, and what goes on between them." - William Farley
