>>>> Sensation makes a breast plate specifically sized for Icelandics.
There's a lot of variation in Icelandic sizes. Since most breastcollars have a good bit of adjustability, most of mine do pretty well in "arab" sizes, although some of the larger ones can use "horse" size - only, like Penny said, with plenty of room to grow. I heard somewhere that there's a new Zilco size that's much bigger than the older size - from what I heard, it must be more like warmblood or even draft sized. Thus, be sure to ask before you order a Zilco. That Zilco that Janice uses was at the smaller end of its adjustment for Tivar - plenty of "growth" room - and it sounds Trausti needs a similar size. I use an "Arab" sized (from Moss Rock) on Tivar, that I can adjust down to fit Sina and Melnir. I'd say that's the best size to try at first. There seems normally to be some overlap in "Arab" and "Horse" sizes by most makers. A lot of the tack makers who make custom leather and/or biothane will customize your sizes for very little or even no extra cost. I believe that Dana will for the Sensation accessories, and Lisa at Moss Rock will too. Karen Thomas, NC
