Oh, also, Renee, what I forgot to add in my first reply to your post is
something that every trainer from Iceland I have spoken with has told me.
When
Icelanders want to cover rough ground over distance at speed, like at the sheep
round up in the fall, they will favor the trot. I saw a television program
years ago about Icelandics. It showed a clip with people tolting together
down a driveway at Dan Slott's farm in New York. But when it showed footage
of
the sheep round up in the rocky hills in Iceland, the horses were all
trotting.
