The Youth work meeting started enthusiastically with the presentation of the existing feif youth events and the benefits they offer for the next generation. Upcoming highlights will be the youth camp in Iceland this summer, the young leaders seminar in Denmark this fall and the 2026 Youth Cup in Germany.
New communication lines were defined not only to make it easier for the feif youth department to reach out more effectively to the national youth leaders but also for the countries to share information amongst themselves.
Horse welfare and fundraising programs within the countries were also discussed and knowledge about different materials or schooling methods that can also be shared between the countries were the subject of debate.
The meeting agreed that spreading knowledge is the key to managing future difficulties which will confront us in the horse world. It was agreed that one of our main goals in youth work is to act as role models for the next generation of Icelandic horse lovers.
