Not here. We don't rush their training and thus, they don't "rush" into
their gaits. Of course, we're not trying to do any "collected" canters, not
in the true sense of the word. But, nice, relaxed canters?

Hello Judy, Renee gave you some good advice. Ride where you're safe.
When you have your saddle issues settled, take some lessons on him,
and get some communication going before you take him out on the trail.

on me. But he ha

I think most people would ride an Icelandic Horse basically like they ride
any horse...which hopefully means treating each horse as the individual he
is, regardless of breed.
