About the
IHSGB
Founded in 1986, the IHSGB
exists to maintain the purity of the unique Icelandic
horse, to promote interest in the breed, to protect the
welfare of the breed, and to encourage
Icelandic horse breeding and riding competitions.
The British Society is a full member of
FEIF, the
International Federation of Icelandic Horse
Associations, which has 20 members including Canada and
the USA. IHSGB is the only Icelandic horse association
in Britain recognised by FEIF as representing the whole
of the United Kingdom.
IHSGB is a Passport Issuing
Organisation, authorised by DEFRA. We provide passports
for Pure-bred Icelandic horses - contact the
Stud Book
Registrar for further info. IHSGB also provides data
on Icelandic horses to the National Equine Database.
Please note - if a horse does not have a passport from
the IHSGB or another FEIF organisation then it may not
be a pure, registered Icelandic horse, and it will not
be able to enter IHSGB events.
The IHSGB publishes newsletters every two months with
information about Icelandics at home and abroad. Various IHSGB items may
be purchased (see our shop page) including sweatshirts,
car-stickers, spare-wheel covers etc. National
Championships are held every year, and every two years
is the World Championships for Icelandic Horses to which
Britain sends a team to compete.
The IHSGB has members all over Great Britain and there
are training courses, pleasure rides, competitions and
social events held all over the country. Junior members
have their own events and can take part in several
international events organised by FEIF.
IHSGB members are a very friendly group, and anyone with
an interest in the unique Viking horse of Iceland is
warmly welcomed. For a membership form, click
