Hi there!
I am new to the Icelandic breed and was wondering if they all tend to
be stiff or if it might just be mine. I do a lot of flexing with my
horses to help get them light and supple. With my other horses after
they catch on they just get easier and lighter. However, I have been

I really enjoy reining, and I admire the heck out of horsemen who can
ride and work bridleless. Sounds like a great clinic!
Excuse me - I think our last two e-mails passed in cyberspace, so I think I
repeated something by mistake!
Yeah, it was a great clinic. Do you remember Lynn Palm's br

Stacy Westfall was one of the presenters I saw today, and she's won several

I haven't had a chance to write about a concern I had after deworming
the other night. We weight tape everyone before each deworming. It
gives us a good picture of how well each one of our horses is doing

The dressage people see a chewing motion as relaxation, and II'm sure they're
right when the horse is relaxed at the poll and in his mout, but I've certainly
seen horses in every discipline who appeared to be chewing and they were
anything but relaxed.

I still think it's so funny how all your goats and horses are either
black or buckskin - now you just need to find color coordinated
chickens! They are all cute no matter what - Brenna and Kolur just
