Trust me, going really fast is vastly over rated. I love that my
Icelandic cross can gait along in a sweet easy gait that doesn't require

or an energy level thats the same as a full blown gallop. Teev did a
flying pace I think twice! I really do, it felt just like a rack.

but smooth for me, on a hard clay road. Same as teev, I would have to
beat him or panic him to make him go that fast if other horses werent
just flying.
Wellfor heaven's sake Janice. Pop a dropped noseband on him and
strap it down really tight
come on, folks, this is the icehorses list. the only acceptable answer
is no bit at all, the tolt is done in a sidepull.

She was told to use a Wonder Bit to get tolt.
I used one of those one Dagur. he didn't like it at
all. He likes his hackamore

I started stonewall in a wonderbit on advice of the seller. I believe
that started him out on his hyped up craziness I now have to work so
hard to contain. I am short on my posts and lurking from my phone you
guys! no internet at work! gives you guys a break from me ha!

I do have that right don't I? Rack tolt are the same gait?
Yes, tolt and rack are the same gait.
Probably most of our Icelandic Horses are not tolting (racking) on the
trails unless we are really going fast. It's probably a saddle rack.

That she's worrying about the wrong end of the horse...
Way to go Wanda That's the best answer I've heard ever. I get sick of the
concept that a gaited horse needs a special (read more severe) bit. Hunter,
who is a racking fool, goes bitless, but also racked just as well in a

Whatever bit the horse is comfortable being ridden in, and you as a
rider are happy using - or no bit at all, if that works for you and
the horse.

To get her thinking about this, I'd probably start out by asking her if she
needs different bits to get walk, trot, and canter.
Hopefully, she'll say no. :
Finally, I'd ask why she thought she would need a special bit. . (because
I'd be curious where THAT notion came from!)

Oy. If *they* aren't telling people to nail on gait, they are advising to
strap it on in some fashion. It just never ends.
There's always newbies who believe. Sigh.

it is treeless and is supposed to conform to his body and make him feel like
he is being ridden bareback. Whatever I can do to make him and I both as

Wow, I typed a reply and it went to never, never land. So if you see

I really appreciate all the feedback. I don't think Dakota is barn

Judy,
When I ride my horses on my property, they know where the paddock is.
And there are a couple of them that will make a sudden try to see if
I will let them go back. They never do this off on a trail ride we
have hauled to. One of them does it in the same exact spot every time,

Hi Judy,
I'm trying to get Dakota straighten out with the right saddle, the right
bit, etc. . . . However, I use a kimberwick on him right now. It is hard
to get him to stop sometimes. He likes to bolt or just plain ignore you.
. . . I don't want to go severe because he really is a good
What kind of saddle are you currently riding him with treed or
treeless? and what makes you think that the Bob Marshall saddle will make
things better?

Hello Judy, Renee gave you some good advice. Ride where you're safe.
When you have your saddle issues settled, take some lessons on him,
and get some communication going before you take him out on the trail.
I had the same type of issues with my old Hreggur. He managed to bolt
on me. But he
