Every ride, every experience with a horse, is a training. Whether or not it is a positive training is the issue. But something is always learned or reinforced.

A young horse has been sent to Flugumýri for training. Elisa Klose is using techniques she learned at Hólar, from which she has recently graduated.
I put this video up so that experienced horse people can see how groundwork and suppling are used by one particular trainer. It is not a How To, but rather a How Done. But it does represent a progressive school of training that is being widely adopted in Iceland.
A foreign student at Hólar
Elisa Klose came from Germany to Iceland to learn about the Icelandic horses and had to take a crash course in Icelandic when she started Hólar College. She tells us about what it was like to be a foreign student during her job at the farm, Flugumýri.
