Hi >>>yesterday i took stjarni in a fourth-of-july parade, and we rode back behind a group of three-gaited drill horses from new hampshire. definitely the one at the end was a bit freaked out as we tolted up behind them -- i suspect the fast four-beat sounded like two trotting horses from behind.
We have done lots of demos around other breeds of horses and we always have to be careful because, especially with several Icelandics gaiting together, it can really scare other horses. The Grand Prix jumpers seem especially unnerved so we pay a lot of attention to walk slowly around them. Robyn Icelandic Horse Farm Robyn Hood & Phil Pretty Vernon BC Canada www.icefarm.com --vicka
