Diddi's Statement
In a demonstration, Diddi "explained how important it is that we, the Icelandic horse people, do not forget the roots of Icelandic horse riding and do not get lost in our thirst for innovation. Finally at the end of his presentation, he said that we should not learn from foreigners how to ride the Icelandic horse. They should learn from us."

You are just jealouse that this guy can ride a powerful, free spirited horse with it's own mind and lots of self-esteem. This is the true Icelandic breed, not some poor stunted fat circus pony like you have. This man has skill and guts ... nothing you have.
Yes, Diddi is absolutely right. Iceland knows the breed and knows how to ride the horses. Nothing prooves more than 2,000 years of history.
WOW ... what a great horse and how well ridden. No wonder he thinks everybody needs to elarn from Iceland. He does such a great job on this horse. Go Diddi!!!
The histroy and the tradition is such an important part of this breed. Not knowing the history, you on't know the breed. There is so uch we can learn from great riders and breeders like Diddi. He is a true inpiration to us. Thank you Diddi.
Anonymous... please tell us your name.
It is seen some problems with the horse and the equipment so no comfort for the horse.
Jealousy is not possible in this instance. Iceland is far removed from normal horse riding. The horse culture is very different and resounds in the old-tyme harshness resulting from no knowledge and leadership into better ways.
The history of the horse is nice to know but does not relate to present day riding tekniques. It is good to know what is old and no longer valuable, and what is current and scientifically proven to be better for the horse.
Well ridden is not a description to be used when the horse is introverted and showing distress by his mouth. The horse does not look so free spirited with self-esteem. He looks uncomfortable and down-trodden.
