It's that time of year again! Time to bring Icelandic horse lovers together for the 2011 Kentucky Icelandic Horse show. We would like to thank Jim and Marianne Welch in advance for once again hosting the Kentucky show at their beautiful farm, Locust Hill in Prospect, Kentucky.
We hope to see everyone there-those with horses, those without horses, and those who just love being around these wonderful animals and their two-legged family members!
Please join us for good competition, good association, and good food on Saturday and Sunday, October 8th and 9th, 2011.
See you there!

Hello everyone. Hope you had a great summer. It’s great to be home in the States after a very busy couple of months. I spent some time working on the new farm in Iceland. Things are coming along very nicely.
We had a great time with the America 2 Iceland tour this summer. We had over 30 participants! This was an especially exciting tour season since we had the pleasure of hosting Rick and Diana Lamb. Rick hosts “The Horse Show with Rick Lamb”. They had a wonderful time in Iceland enjoying the Icelandic horse. Look for Rick’s program to be aired on RFD TV in November.

Thank you Dan and Barb Riva for a wonderful Summermot and evaluations! As always the facilities were amazing and the everyday full of fun. We had a great team this year that worked together to show and care for the fifteen horses that we brought to Wisconsin. Thank you Terral Hill, Laura Benson, Carrie Brandt, Coralie Denmeade, Kathryn Love, Elizabeth Everson, and Bill Hatcher for all the hard work! The evaluations went very well. Kveðja frá Stekkjardal owned by Marianne Welch showed us 9.0 for tölt while Rauðskinni frá Grafarkoti owned by Sharon Johnson recieved 8.53 overall for ridden abilities. Laura and her mare Rimma and Guðmar on

2011 Equine Affaire Recap |
|
May 10, 2011 |
|
Now that the Equine Affaire, Columbus, Ohio is behind us, we wanted to let you know how it went. As usual we had a great time in Columbus. The weather actually cooperated this year! Gudmar conducted three clinics over the four days of the show, plus Breed Demonstrations. All the clinics were well attended with the favorite seeming to be "Understanding the Difference in Riding and Training Gaited vs. Non-Gaited Horses".
It was great seeing some old friends and making some new ones too. A HUGE thanks goes out to Kathy, Terral, and Jana for their help and participation during the show. We look forward to attending again next year – hopefully riding in Pfizer Fantasia! Now on to the Equine Affaire in November. |

Hello Everyone,
I am happy to say we have settled in once again at our home in Kentucky. After several weeks in Iceland it’s great to be back in the U.S. and get ready for the start of a busy season.
In Iceland I was kept very busy conducting clinics and demonstrations. I even had time to fit in some training.
We are thrilled to announce the purchase of a farm in Iceland. The farm is named Stadurhus and is located in the western part of Iceland.

In April of this year we launched our new look with the Knights of Iceland at the Equine Affaire, Columbus, Ohio. The group was a huge success. We had an act in the Fantasia evening show where we rode in our new, ''new age Viking costumes'' and the audience loved it!

We have decided to cancel the schooling show we had planned for the weekend of April 24th-25th, We did not have enough advance for people to get ready and it is probably a little to early in the year, so next year we will promote it in more advance and have it a little later. |
