i think they are afraid a rhinestone might fall off and drop onto the steel band clamped on to hold their 20 pound shoes on and then it will be like the straw that broke the camels back, just that 1/1000 oz extra weight will make the horse's whole foot fall off. gotta be it. and you gotta wonder a

I know with walking horses in english classes they are not allowed to have bling, no rhinestones etc., and nothing with a "name" on it, a barn name etc. Depends on your definition of "bling" I guess. Once upon a time, Walkers wore red, yellow, blue, turquoise, green, whatever

Vicka, I have to argue with you here - Starni does NOT have a coarse head. He's lovely! I suspect he has a very petite owner. You want to see coarse, there's the plain-headed Tosca (our house), but she has such a lovely spirit that I think of her as beautiful. Nancy

There is no rule requiring nosebands in FIRO (sport competition rules) Ironic...even I knew that, but showing isn't on my agenda, certainly not in Icelandic classes. It seems odd that the judges at US shows are always Icelandic - Too bad the judges aren't more familiar with the rules. Kare
