My two Icelandic horses I have owned have been different from other horses in that they accept what you do to them as a matter of fact. Try to train an appaloosa for instance. I am 65 years old and have had quite a few breeds in my days over forty years of horses. The breed I mostly had over the years was a QH and they don't break as easily as you would think. I cannot remember one of the horses that I have ground broke stand for the saddle and just accept the girth as the Icelandic's do. I have been amazed that they just let you dress them and go about with this stuff on as if it was there from birth. I am so impressed with the two I have worked with I think they are amazing. My Willie for instance. I decided to try a blanket one day and he just stood there and let me put it on him and that was that. Same with the circingle and then the saddle. Oh hum. This past week the trainer that he is with put the full harness on him and drove him around the arena. No issues. To me this is not normal horse stuff. I have also seen that they bond with the owners and don't really like another person to handle them particularly. This is why my horse is away getting trained he would do anything for me but he needed to learn other things I don't know how to do. Anyone else have a horse this easy or is it just mine? Sylvia
