Sport Riders  of the IHSGB

While Icelandics can and do compete in all sorts of disciplines, there are also special competitions held just for them, which are judged on the quality of the gaits and the partnership between and horse and rider.

The IHSGB holds a British Championships every year (which is a qualifier for the World Championships, held every two years) and there are local shows too with classes suitable for all riders, from beginners to experts. As well as the "serious" classes there are also fun classes such as the Beer Tölt.

The IHSGB Trustee in charge of Sport is Iris Ashmann.
