Hi all – Amy Goddard has asked me all to write you as the USIHC Quarterly needs your help. They are looking for content on pleasure riding – and who better to ask than our pleasure riders! They are looking for stories about what you are doing with your horse(s) – maybe you’ve ridden in a special location this year, or taken part in an interesting type of event, etc. If so, the USIHC Quarterly committee would like to hear from you! It’s stories like this that make it a publication we all love to receive in the mail. So, if you think you have an idea for a story please contact Amy directly at: randverg@yahoo.com Thanks for your help! Happy holidays!! Andrea

The Olil Amble clinic..
Olil flew in from Iceland this past weekend to have her first clinic in the US. We learned a lot from her and she is a great instructor as well as a rider. She promises to come back next year and we are already looking forward to it! I have added some photos from the Olil clinic to the photo albums. I want to remind everyone to renew their USIHC membership for next year. |

CIA Open Results.. We had a great show this weekend and it was so nice seeing everyone here. We had a total of 26 horses signed up. The weather was perfect. It rained on Friday and knocked all the dust down for the whole weekend. The Friday night BBQ was so much fun and it was great to get a chance to hang out before the show started. Saturday aternoon we had the 100 m speed pace and it was exciting to watch. If you wish to order the DVD contact either me at asta@tolt.net or Stina at valhallaicelandic@earthlink.net. Heather and Heidi took bunch of photos and I will post links to them as soon as I get them. Thank you to Hörður for flying all the way from Iceland to be our judge, Betsy for scribing, Laura and Doug for announcing, Gayle for Icetest entry/DJ, Jennifer for being a DJ and everyone else that helped make the show so much fun. Thanks to Valhalla Icelandics, Stina and Steinar for bringing a majority of the horses and also the Kraftur club members from Northern California that came. We are very happy with the turn out and hope to do it again first weekend of May next year. Also big thank you to everyone else that came to participate and watch. |
