How much pressure on the reins... how much muscle... how many pounds of pull... how much weight... on the reins, does it take to make the Icelandic Horse gait?
How did it ever get to this point, where the riders use such severe bits (jointed mouthpiece with long shanks), combined with tight nosebands, and strong contact to get the Icelandic Horse to gait??
Isn't the goal of "horsemanship" to be as light as possible, with as little as possible?
