On Thursday evening a group of twenty-two young riders from ten different countries arrived to Skeiðvellir for a three day FEIF- breeding horse trainer seminar. The seminar started on Thursday evening with a welcome dinner and a presentation of the teachers and the riders.
Early start on Friday morning with Magnús Lárusson and Svanhildur Hall (Úrvalshestar) with lecture about conformation and presentation of a horse followed by practical training. After lunch Agnar Snorri held a lecture about riding assessment and talked about his experience in that field. Then the riders got to watch a demo of a typical breedingshow program that Sigurður Óli Kristinsson performed. The next task was that all riders got a horse to ride in practical training for the riding assessment and afterwards they all got comments form both Marlise Grimm, Sigurbjörn frá Lundum and Agnar Snorri. In the evening there was a dinner in the barn and open panel discussions with the breedingtrainers Hekla Katharina, Viðar Ingólfsson, Sigurður Óli Kristinsson, Agnar Snorri and the judges Magnús Lárusson, Svanhildur Hall, Marlise Grimm and Sigurbjörn. Today everbody got a second chance to improve their riding assessment and got comments again afterwards. Hekla Katharina Kristinsdóttir told about her experince in showing in breedingshows and in competitions both in Iceland and on the WM in Austria 2011.
The last day is tomorrow and then there will be a evaluation of the seminar and a lecture with Siggi Sæm about shoeing a breeding horse. It has been great to watch all these brilliant future riders and I am sure that we will see allot of them in the future on the breedin track. More photos from the seminar will come the next days.
