>>> Christine just wrote a really nice article for the CIHF about three-gaited Icelandics.
Someone sent me that issue, and boy what a great article! Christine nailed it, I thought. It was sooo nice to see that kind of straight-talk in an Icelandic-breed sanctioned publication. So, there are some three-gaited horses in this breed...so what?! As Christine said, they aren't the breed goal, but once they are here, there are some really nice ones that can be awesome for other pursuits. I think of Reddi and Tivar as prime examples of awesome horses in their own rights, even though both are noticeably "gait limited." (And really cool that Tivar is now showing a little gaitedness on his own, just as gravy...!) Also, congrats to our own Alex and Gat for getting a feature. That was cool to see. :) You Canadians have a great newsletter. I'm envious... Karen Thomas, NC
