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.. > do you think most iceys have a "jog" similar in footfalls but distinct > in feeling from their bigger "trot"? 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. Wanda
