Kathy Sierra and Steiner Sigurbjornsson are leading the Intrizen group
to develop a new way of working with the horse to develop its pride,
agility, and fitness through positive reinforcement and a sense of play.
So instead of chasing the horse with a longe whip, what if you
rewarded the horse for chasing a plastic bag and then shaped that
behavior to high leg lift? Icelandics aren't known for their baroque
movements or collected canter but you can see some of the results in
this video. Five gaiters are developing the most amazing, springy trot
and four gaiters are volunteering loose rein tolt. I really need to get
serious on starting this program with Blessi.
As a little girl, I always wanted a pony for Christmas. Santa never brought me a pony. So in my late 40s, I started taking horseback riding lessons. When I turned 50, I got my first horse, an Icelandic named Blessi (Veigar frá Búðardal). Little did I know how much fun life with an Icelandic was going to be. Blessi has a unique perspective on life. I hope you enjoy reading about it as much as I enjoy Blessi. And you will probably read about my cats from time to time.
