Description by the owner: We were doing some more work on catching one of our remedial horses in the field, the video camera was running, and this unfolded totally unrehearsed. We enjoyed it and hope you do too.
It's a new year; let's see if we can do better by our Icelandic Horses, and get rid of the nosebands, and the severe bits, and the bits that don't fit; as well as the heavy contact to force them into a frame to tolt.
"When we know better, we do better" - Maya Angelou
We know better now; let's take the next step and do right by our horses.
Happy Holidays from all the Icelandic Horses of the Icelandic Horse Connection, which supports natural gaits, and opposes heavy contact and force to manipulate gaits.
We appreciate all of our supporters who stand up for the Icelandic Horse and help to stop the abusive riding and training practices.
