>>>> I do find my Icelandics to be easier to handle, not really spooky, not much spook to speak of at all, although Snorri was afraid of some objects for a while. I'm not totally sure if he is over it, I will find out.
I think my young Icelandic's are, on average, braver and more outgoing than any young horses of other breeds I've met. But, I think that ALL horses, any breed, tend to get a little more secure with maturity and exposure. That doesn't bother me - I know I could sometimes imagine monsters in the shadows when I was a small child, but I don't see too many monsters now that I'm an adult!
