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? Is the Icelandic Horse able to see where he is going, if his head is held up in an unnatural position? Is tolt a natural gait to the Icelandic Horse? Happy Holidays from Icelandic Horse Connection http://iceryder.net Promoting and advocating for the naturally gaited Icelandic Horse; no manipulation, and no mechanical aids.  Don't pull on the reins of the Icelandic Horse to get gait!  Horses needing mechanical aids to manufacture an easy gait should be culled from the gene pool.  Let's use only naturally gaited Icelandic Horses for breeding.  http://iceryder.net Gold stars for all of those who are training and riding their horses with natural horsemanship!
