Horsemanship... natural horsemanship... for a natural horse... the Icelandic Horse... no severe bits, no severe nosebands, no rider weight on the reins... The icelandic bit... what are the mechanics of this bit? Does it purposely dig into the side of the horse's mouth? What is happening to the bit on this Icelandic Horse? Will the bit dig into his flesh? If the bridle piece is loose on an Icelandic Horse, there is too much contact on the bit; the hands are too heavy. An Icelandic Horse... overbent... behind the bit... indicates poor riding... poor training... Where knowledge ends, abuse begins. How much muscle and equipment does it take to make an Icelandic Horse gait? Is tolt a natural gait to the Icelandic Horse? Is tolt a natural gait to the Icelandic Horse? Please allow the Icelandic Horses to gait naturally. Let's move away from the weighted shoes, boots, whips, dig and pinch saddles, heavy contact, big bits, concussive practices, and sitting on the loins. Looking forward to the time Icelandic Horses are not having to deal with mouth problems from the riders. Thanks to all of the veterans who have served our country.
