		<description>Iceryder has nothing nice to say about Icelandic horses and riders. She claims they are mistreated and that the gaits are not natural. This is incorrect. 
I have about 15 Icelandics, they all gait naturally without being forced, both in the field and under the rider, with or without hoof and leg protection.
All my horses like me and love to be ridden.If I come to the field with a halter, they come running.
SO realize there are many owners and riders and iceys out there, and they do not mistreat their horses or use gimmicks, like Iceryder claims.
Hewr horses are overweight, three=gaited and made so docile that there is no energy or spark left. They appear comatose, but yes they can do circus tricks and clicker training....but no toelt. Instead she gives new names to faulty gaits and claims it is natural.</description>

		<description>I have Icelandic Horses and I love them!  Yes, they are ponies:

http://iceryder.net/pony.html

Some Icelandic Horses are gaited and some are not.  Some of the gaits that are seen in the shows are not natural gaits, but manufactured / artificial / mechanical gaits.  

Here are some of the things that are used to force gait on Icelandic Horses:

http://iceryder.net/mechanicalaids.html

Note the severe noseband (one of the most severe there is!) used on the horse in your picture.  

Heck, these are ponies!  and these guys can't ride them well, so they have to try to control them with severe equipment?  

Many of the Icelandic Horse owners object to the way the horses are shown at these big exhibitions and demos.</description>

		<description>Really an interesting post!  Gosh those Icelanics are small.....like about pony size it seems.  From what I've seen on this video, I don't wonder that you would go see them again!  Thanks for sharing.</description>
