In this week’s episode, we had the honor of interviewing Oðinn Örn Jóhansson, FEIF Breeding Judge, Breeding Show Ring Master, animal welfare officer for Matvælastöfnun, and genius pace horse breeder. We talk about the current status of Icelandic horse breeding- what could be better, what should concern us, and what we can celebrate as good progress. We also talk about what it means to be sensitive to your horse’s welfare & how the reality of good animal care practices is doing the best you can, with what you have.
