Note: This is not Dressage for the Icelanders! It is for the Icelandic horse.
Is dressage appropriate for the Icelandic horse?
There has been some debate about whether or not the
Icelandic horse can do dressage. My opinion is that it would be better
phrased as will the Icelanders or anyone else train the horse to do
dressage.
I think a pretty good example of their attitude was voiced by my friend, Ingolfur, when I visited his farm, Dýrfinnustaðir, to see where my horse, Sómi, had been raised and trained.
Yes, and the truth be told, my wonderful horse had been trained by chasing sheep down the mountain and riding around the farm visiting neighbors and, I suspect, taking care of a tipsy rider from time to time.
