They are happy to run around if they are wearing ice nails, apparently. I've not seen it - never been to an icetolt - but a friend who went to one in Holland said the horses were allowed loose on to the ice before it all started and they seemed to love it as they felt secure on it. I'm going to the first UK icetolt next weekend - judging. I'll let you know how it goes.... and then make up my mind one way or the other, never having been much good at taking anything on faith! ; ) Mic Mic (Michelle) Rushen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Solva Icelandic Horses and DeMeulenkamp Sweet Itch Rugs: www.solva-icelandics.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes"
