Throughout the UK we have a number of Icelandic horse owners that call themselves ‘Leisure Riders’. Many take part in a wide range of activities.
We have some activities for you to participate in remotely or there are opportunities to meet up with other Icelandic owners. Be prepared to travel for a ‘meet-up’. Attending local mainstream equestrian events with other Icelandic owners is not only a fun social occasion, but also an opportunity to learn and share experiences.
Any of the activities or events offered allows you to feel part of a wider community, as well as providing opportunities to develop your skills and increase your knowledge.
We encourage all members to get involved in as many events as possible; you can liaise with your Area Rep to find out what is on near. You can share their experiences in Sleipnir (the IHSGB members’ magazine) and on social media.
You can always email me with any questions, ideas and your any achievements that we can celebrate. leisure@ihsgb.co.uk
If you are interested organising something or have an idea, support is available and possibly a grant to help with costs. Please contact office@ihsgb.co.uk
