Hi Renee >>>You know, I've heard that last statement before about Icelandics and it always seems odd to me to have form be at odds with function. Why would Icelandics be any different from any other equine? They're not, this is true of other breeds as well that offer halter classes and performance. I remember in conformation hunter classes in hand - few of those horses ever did well in the show ring. It certainly is / or was the same in QH and Arabian show classes. Do other gaited breeds have conformation classes in their competition??
