Since this type of riding seems to stem from the show/evaluation world, I would like to see that incorporated into the term. Maybe something like 'show style riding/training'. Or maybe we can think of something that would be descriptive or specific like TW people using the term 'Big Lick' . I hate using the term 'Icelandic' in the terminology. I'm sure that there are many native Icelandic people that we are unfairly labeling and alienating. People that are using gentle training methods and are open to learning about saddle fit etc. -- Anna Southern Ohio
