Icelandics in Southern England


There are many Icelandics in the South of England, and lots of activities taking place. There are three oval tracks, one near Gatwick and two in Dorset. At Oakfield Farm near Verwood several competitions are held each year. Courses are held by Barry and Anita near Gatwick, at Oakfield, and by Edda Hestar, based in Pitton near Salisbury. Edda Hestar also run riding holidays for people who love Icelandics. In addition, there are plenty of social rides, including the Stonehenge Ride in the Spring, and the Christmas Ride. There are many smaller centres and individuals breeding Icelandics, competing, driving and generally having fun with their horses.

There are some excellent stallions based near Salisbury and Blandford, and plenty of good foals are born every year.

IHSGB members in Southern England are an active lot, and can be seen at shows and events throughout the area doing Icelandic horse displays and even taking part in Viking reenactment. If you don't have your own Icelandic yet and want to know more about the friendly Icelandic horse scene in Southern England, then please contact one of the IHSGB members who will be really happy to talk to you.
