    Meg you’ve really taken your vlogging to the next level! Beautiful camera work (thanks Pete!), you let the story unfold with minimal talking, the music choice was ‘chef’s kiss’, traveling to another country to broaden your horizons, and sharing it all with us. Thank you!

    This is some of the best work you have done and well done Pete for the camera work. I have been lucky enough to visit Iceland several times from a cruise ship but also a short winter break in the snow and to see the Northern Lights. It is a magical place and your vlogs are bringing back so many memories. I will never get to ride the horses so it has been wonderful to learn so much about these gorgeous animals.

    This is so beautiful! I fell in love with Iceland and Icelandic horses when I was 8 and despite being classically trained (English) and the entire barn I was at looking down at me with my ‘untalented pony’, I didn’t want any other horse when I finally got my own at 11. Mind you, we both quite enjoyed jumping and did a few events together where the judges commanded us for her spunk and speed. She really didn’t have an off button. I later changed stables to an Icelandic only stable and learned the Icelandic gaited riding and I’ve never looked back. These horses are hearty and full of heart and simply one of a kind. When I was little I thought they were Viking horses (because they’re descendants kept almost pure) and the way they’re raised and the place they’re from is just magical. :)

    For anyone wanting to go riding in Iceland, DO IT! It's so worth it. The program I rode with had a free running herd with us for a couple days, it was amazing. Also riding the tolt is such a unique experience...I totally wanna get an icelandic pony for myself xD

    I've been following a lot of different people who train horses and there are so many different ways but it all comes down to understanding that horses are herd animals and they like the calm. It's been such fun seeing yet another horse trainer and I am so glad you had this wonderful experience. Thank you for sharing this with us.

    I watched the Episodes of Alyssa's quest to ride all the different breeds of horses in the world, and she too rode the Icelandic ponies. I do not recall her explaining how dufferent the style of ridng them was to most horses/ponies as you were shown in part one. Quite an experience!!

    I rember when I had to do that but on a much smaller scale and I was the only one doing that with no horse I had to get 20 icelandic horses into 2 different fields and it could be so crazy you did a great job. The feeling when they all tölt by you and you feel the ground shake is a feeling I will never forget.

    More of this quality of content please!!! Just to echo what the others have said above. You’ve a budding presenting future ahead of you if you ever wanted to go in that direction. Super camera work just brings it all together. Well done both. So much horse-related content out there for you to explore / educate people on Meg. Touring the world, riding different breeds / learning about their people / their environments. Others have done it but I thing you’d bring a breathe of fresh air to it and bring so many more people to the part! Watch out Matt Harnacke / Jesse Drent - there’s a Horse World TV Channel I’d sign up for here too 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
