I was on a group ride last week and a woman approached me saying that she 
has an Icelandic that she can't ride and that perhaps I could give her 
lessons.  Ha!  Anyway, the thing with her Icey is that it came to her 
trained in the Icelandic fashion and used also as a dressage horse.  It is 
extremely leg sensitive.  I pointed out that poor Svort was trained by me 
and learned early on to ignore floppy legs, but that I didn't think my poor 
riding qualified me as anybody's instructor!
That is a horse who needs the Florida Fat Circus Pony treatment.  If I see 
her again I will refer her to you Janice.
