Youth Riders  of the IHSGB

"Winners of the FEIF Youth Country of the Year 2007"

We are committed to the development and welfare of our youth riders.  Encouraging the young riders to develop their understanding and Knowledge of the Icelandic horse is paramount and we strive to offer them as much support as possible. 

There are often Youth classes at events throughout the year - or highest place youth awards. 

Youth riders are welcome to join in the fun of meeting friends and developing their skills through our Youth Training Scheme.

The IHSGB youth riders attend International events through FEIF - encouraging them to make friends of their age across the globe with the same passion - the Icelandic horse.

Youth Announcements

1. FEIF Youth Camp 2011
Please could any riders interested in attending the camp ask their parents to notify me as soon as possible.

2. Changes to the Youth Section
After much discussion over the years, it has been decided to have a slight re-shuffle within the youth section. We will now have three sections within the youth area:
Children - up to 13 years of age
Teenagers - 13 - 18 years of age
Young Adults - 18 - 21 years of age

This change will now allow the inclusion of 'young adults' to participate in youth activities and have access to assistance from the Youth Section of the IHSGB.

3. Summer trip to Germany
I can now confirm the dates for our proposed group trip to Germany for training and participation at DJIM (German Youth Championships) this summer.

11th - 17th July Training
19th - 24th July DJIM

This event will be open to riders from 14 years - 21 years old.
