more icelandic horse horrible riding. What is the problem.... is this horse so untrained it takes brutality to handle it? Who would have thought someone could make a simple snaffle bit an instrument of torture.... sheesh!

- Janice McDonald resides in a tiny Northwest Florida Hamlet just north of Fountain Florida and South of Dothan Alabama. She is employed as a bureaucrat and Govt. Professor and has many interesting and amazing views on the way things are, and should be. Everyone tells her she should write a book but New York publishers are not interested in publishing interesting writers anymore because times are hard and they can't take a risk and publish anyone unless they are already Stephen King or Danielle Steel. Janice owns several horses of various gaited breeds, one donkey, Curly Ray, who has his own blog, two parrots, three dogs, several chickens and geese and three cats.

I am curious how you can post comments of abuse and ill riding on this picture based of one momment when further down on your blog you post a picture of the "best horse in america" with a Hackamore/gag/elevator/single twisted wire contraption to control, is this truly better?
Hi Janice, I left a post but can't find it. It was last night. I also emailed you about it. What gives?
Anyway, the upshot of my post was that it's time these horses get the respect that they deserve and the rider's from HELL get the disrepect that they deserve. I'm FURIOUS about this abuse and IT IS ABUSE, make no mistake. If I can teach myself how to ride a rack, stepping pace, and flying pace (aka speed rack) then what's THEIR PROBLEM? As for the comment from Shanddel, well one picture is worth a thousand words. Good riding doesn't entail a severe frame. I don't care what type of horse you are sitting on, if the frame is severly hollow OR severly round you are not riding you are a bully and also don't know how to ride. Ninety percent of riding is FEEL. The only thing this rider is feeling is a cranked, miserable, poor moving horse at the flying pace. How should the horse go at the flying pace? Check out EDZ'S FALCON ROWDY. Watch and learn. Bit this; I ride in a 3/8ths inch loose O-ring snaffle and if my mare ever looked like this I would throw it away. We use no nose band and no curb. She gets to carry it where SHE WANTS IT TO SIT in HER MOUTH and she can see where she's going too. So, Shaundel, I can post that this is abuse without any hesitation whatsoever. It's abusive squared. I'm not cutting anyone any slack about this. I'm done with that. Get polite with the racking horse and respectful of their amazing abilities. These horses are magnificent and this rider should be dumped!

For me this is "calling the kettle black!"
I don't know if this is an expression used in America.
But your picture:

doesn't look great either... auwch...
I know it's a Myler combination bit, with a hackamore, but you pull on one rein, while standing still, pulling the horses lips to one side. The mouthpiece looks really thin. When I see this I see the same as I guess you see in the picture I am now commenting on. I feel sorry for the horse.
^ ^ Thank you for sharing, I wish you a colorful life forever

That funny that picture! I laughed when I saw a lot. In this horse seems that would have given generic viagra because it is very active!
WOW!! what a beautiful tolt that horse has!!!!!
Paso Finos are sometimes ridden with the same kindness, although the bitting systems are much different. The point is, that if you ride with kindness and training, the horse will carry itself beautifully and will not have the ugly U-Neck. With time and work comes fitness and beauty.
