Good video
Good video, but too marketing-oriented at times to be helpful. However, there are great shots of the differentn gaits that I found helpful. A beautifully photographed video of a wonderful breed!

Riding the Icelanic Horse is very good!
I really enjoyed this video. However, it's content is a little too feel-good, marketing oreiented at times. Still there are very good shots of the different gaits that I found extremely helpful.

Riding the Icelandic Horse
This video is a wonderful advertisement for the Icelandic breed of horse. It is a little expensive for the amount of time offered, but I would recommend it for most equestrian video libraries.

I would also recommend it for people with an interest in touring Iceland. The explanation of the tolt and the pace are helpful, and the viewer can get a good sense of just how fast the horses can travel.

I've had some experience with riding these horses in both Iceland and in the U.S., so I was looking for more "technical" information. There is good information on how to sit in the saddle, what is considered good conformation, and a brief history. However, I would like to see more about rein contact. I ride both balance seat (dressage) and western, and am comfortable with the appropriate styles of holding the reins for those disciplines. However, I still do not understand correct rein contact for the "higher" gears of the Icelandic. Riders who have a saddle seat (park seat) background may be at the best advantage for the Icelandic style of riding.

As stated, this is a nice showcase for the breed. The film presentation is excellent.
