They know everything about what it means to compete against their sister - both for better and for worse.

Training stunt horses is based on four key words: Patience, trust, respect, and communication. These apply both from man to horse, but also from horse to man. If these four are in place, then a lot of other things can succeed.

The two oldest brothers, Sandy Carson and Aidan Carson, grew a passion for the Icelandic breed, their character, and their incredible gaits. In Britain, the breed is not as popular as in other European countries, with a lack of teachers and trainers who specialize in the five gaits. In spite of that, the brothers kept developing as Icelandic horse riders. Both brothers have represented their country at the World Championship several times, and the youngest even has two silver medals.
