>>>> I would like to learn more about it before I purchase a horse for Kevin. Is it possible for him to ride an Icelandic. I don't think Scooter can handle him for long. He seems so big on him. Lorraine
There are a lot of factors to consider. How big is your husband? How long does he ride? Is he a good rider? Will you be able to easily find a suitable saddle for him that will work on an Icelandic? What kind of footing will you ride on, and at what gaits? We thought this out carefully before we bought a horse for my husband, but they do well together. I wrote some notes that I put on my website, but Judy has more on hers. http://iceryder.net/weight.html It's a complicated subject, with no black and white answers, but one good article is this one: http://www.thehorse.com/ViewArticle.aspx?ID=5190 Karen Thomas, NC No virus found in this outgoing message.
