I have a five year old Icelandic gelding who is taking very well to driving training. I recently got a really good deal on a practice cart. They said they had driven Haflingers. My Vindur is the Hummer model Icelandic and he doesn't fit the poles. I am going to shop for replacement poles but I can't take him along. Any of you folks who are knowledgeable about driving Iceys have any guidelines for measuring the poles so these fit him?? He is a full 14 hands and built like a draft horse. Please answer to stonedesign1@earthlink.net. Thanks

Thank you, Judy . The information on saddle fit is very helpful.

Saddle fit is an important topic with Icelandic Horses / Ponies.

Some Icelandic Ponies (Horses) are very short backed. The length of the saddle should not sit past the last rib of the Icelandic's back.

Here are a few pictures showing where to locate the last rib:

>>old. So what, exactly, should we be doing with his? Can we start leading
him with a halter and lead rope
 
Hi...you can do a ton of stuff with your baby IcePony. You can start doing ground training and ground driving. Clicker training. You can pony him on SHORT...EASY....FLAT.. rides.
