Hi!
I live in western Norway. I too was a showjumper, but really I was a western rider from my background. I got into icelandics from a friend of mine who was raised with them (daughter to Lillemor Bødtker, who had Lillemor Stallen in Oslo area, Søkendal). Lillemor is in SWeden now, near Arvika, and I train for her. She has Ringo fra Ringerike...
Are you living anywhere near there? she is into the Branderup training...have you heard of that?
Helsing,
Stephanie
