Deep and solid change takes time - as frustrating as it is. I don't
think we are going to change the minds of the people deeply embedded
in the world of show Icelandics but I do feel there is good being done
in those people on the periphery that might go either way - depending
on their influence. As these people see "the light" the numbers will
start to weigh further and further into the positive side - then we
will see more change in a bigger scope - it is so hard to keep
plugging, though, when the change happens so slowly and horses are
suffering in the meantime.--
