>>>Thinking about the discussions of some of the abusive treatments of the Icelandic Horses in the show world... <<<<
It doesn't seem likely that a trainer would do the "show" thing and then treat his own horses differently. >>>Maybe the novice owners, and maybe the trainers don't recognize that it's abusive, but restricting a horse's air, yanking on their mouths, and using bits that the horses object to, can't be called anything else.<<<< Remember the video of the guy in Iceland beating his horse? What about the abuses in the Icelandic show world mentioned above? Are they even red-carded? Judy http://iceryder.net http://clickryder.com
