hi welkom here...
nice horses you have !!
i have an icelandichorse too, when you can learn your icyhorse some NHE things you have to work very hard *smile* because most of them are not that fast in giving a reaction to you such as a arabian horse should do. I mean not that fast and quickly
They are more independent and think somthimes i will survive without you, i do not need you at all. So forget it, i will not do it untill you ask it very friendly and i am in the mood
))
I have my horse now for two years and he is 9 years old now, he have had a nice life for 7 years, free in the fields...and now i am training him.
He did not know anything at all, only a trailer when he had to move to an other field for new grass.
I training him bitless, it is going very well.
today i have used him for the first time of a leading horse. I had taken my shetty with us for a ride in to the woods. The shetty was walking next to us on a lead rope. It was going very well so i have made some small peaces of trot also, at first i had in mind only walk, so i have my horses under control.
But they listen very good and i try to go faster and yes they did it SUPER...i am very proud of my horse(s) it would be continued in the future.
it is nice to hear from you what kind of things you do with the youngster. Good luck...
