Sometimes vets like to be negative, but I had one tell me that many of
them she saw didn't live past 8 or 9 years old.
I'd bet that's probably true. While they can live a long time, a notable
number escape, get injured by other pets, or get infections. And a lot of

It's a good thing to do to build on one gait and get it consistently before
moving onto another.

This style of riding can give a horse long-term unsoundness issues, possible

Typically the icelandic bit doesn't have a "purchase" to speak of. I am not

shanked bit with a purchase, but I don't doubt that it does make a
difference.
