The Virtual Ride is just that: real riding on your horse along a virtual route from your home to the flagship events of the Icelandic horse calendar: the World Championships and Landsmót. These are held in alternating years in Europe and in Iceland respectively. Over the course of a year, the Virtual Ride invites Icelandic horse riders to make their way gradually (and virtually) to these venues!

This is NOT a competition. The aim is to bring people together both in real life and virtually (mostly on Facebook). Participants may ride solo, or in teams. Every rider progresses in accordance with their own routine and fitness, keeping track of the approximate distance covered each time they ride out. Each month, the distances are tallied up and logged via the FEIF website. Riders and teams can track their own progress — and that of everyone else — on the scoreboard. Every year, a new ride offers a way of getting to know each other, the different landscapes and seasons we ride through, and all the adventures encountered on the way. Why not join in?
Shared is double the fun!
