Sorry Kim, but what a mess that Babel Fish makes. Maybe this helps?

Röskur and I do a lot:

Renaissance – Re-enactment
That’s what this site is about. Röskur is a genuine knight’s-horse. I’ve
made a dark blue – dark red weapon blanket and he sports a Tunesian bridle.

I’m also in the process to put together a Viking outfit, with dark brown/
black sheepskin and black leather.

Röskur is not at all afraid for weapons, and I’m planning to add to the
collection, such as sticks for ring catching, jousting material, i.e. a
shield that turns when it is hit.

Röskur is cool with the sword, the lance and the ax. My friend Arjan and I
practice hits from horseback in walk, trot and canter.

Other Stuff
We do much more than that. We practice dressage exercises to keep Röskur
supple. He loves to jump, but due to his recent recovery from a tendon
injury we won’t do that for some time. Röskur also did endurance for one
season; he completed three runs of 30 kilometers each. This qualifies him to
start in second class, but we never did that.

We love trail rides. Gaiting too, Röskur has 4 clean gaites and he can tolt
really fast. Sometime we do natural horsemanship, freestyle, groundwork, and
work at liberty. Most of all, we vary things a lot and just do what we feel
like doing! We drove Röskur once, with my dad, but due to circumstances (a
move, his injury) we did not continue.

I’ve taught Röskur neck-reining. He was trained the Icelandic way, so this
is new for him. He picked up on it within one hour, and understands the
basic principle. I’m practicing hard to ride him through my seat entirely,
but we are doing well. I often ride him with just a rope halter or bareback
with a halter.

OK, great!  Sounds like she is saying that Roskur picked up the neck-reining 
easily, altho it was new to him since he always previously went in the 
icelandic style; and that she rides regularly bareback and bitless.

Found these couple of videos of her riding him:

She even mounts bareback holding the camera!

What language is it in to begin with?

Dutch?
