>>> I can honestly say that any sort of snobbishness is incredibly rare in >>> Icelandic horse show people in the UK - thank goodness.
I don't know how it is in other countries, but after having horses for 15 years, and having a daughter that showed for several years, I was totally unprepared for the rudeness I found in the USA show people. Now, some of the "normal" Icelandic people (Anneliese and Olaf to name two) were some of the friendliest, most welcoming folks I can imagine. Karen Thomas, NC
