Alex regularly trains with some of the best trainers and horses in Iceland.
This ensures an ongoing high level of expertise.

Her philosophy is to see each horse as a teacher, rather than a student.
We should have great belief in the natural ability of the horses and understand that we don’t need to teach them anything, but rather merely elicit what is already latent in them.
The rider’s job is to give the horses the chance to show what they have to offer, enabling them to go beyond their limits and then support them accordingly.
It is an exchange of skills and ideas from both parts and that is where relationships develop and progress takes place.
For that, we have to be willing to be self-critical and open-minded to what the horses have to say.

The natural spirit of the Icelandic horses, the willingness to freely move forward, is what differentiates them from other breeds.
It is our responsibility to protect it.
In order to enable this, we have to make humbleness, adaptability and also a sense of the spirit of freedom our principles.
