Icelandic Horse, Heavy Contact

The telltale bridle drop, and the mouthpiece of the bit peeking out of the mouth of the Icelandic Horse are hints that the hands are heavy and that there is too much contact on the reins.

Too many times, the bit can be seen digging into the side of the mouth, possibly squeezing the tender cheek between the metal of the bit and the points of the teeth.

Either she was not dry enough, or still dirty enough, or the product gunked up the clipper blades as they bogged down and stopped cutting.

Natural Horsemanship for Icelandic Horses

The imperceptible connection between Icelandic Horse and rider is the key to natural horsemanship. You are a horseman if you have two-way communication with your horse, without bits, nosebands, whips.

Any type of training that uses severe bits, severe nosebands, whips, weights, etc., is not horsemanship.
