I have to trust my own eyes, my own first-hand experiences, and my long-term equine experience, over yours. Sorry. I'm not so sure that a beginner and new owner can see other than a superficial layer. Especially when that person is vested in who they are expressing an opinion about. But... tell me HOW you see that they are different than any other icelandic-style trainer in how they train and ride. Judy http://icehorses.net http://clickryder.com
