To me, an Icelandic could be standing on his head, and he's still the
smoothest thing out there without even trying.  Gusti has a lovely
trot, very easy to sit, but with nice timing so very easy to post to
as well.  I love watching Cara and Gusti trot, she just pops out of
the saddle like a little cork bobbing along..

I think if an Icelandic is given his head from the start and allowed
to find his own balance during training, then all sorts of nice things
can happen.
