The World Championships
Time flies!
We have now settled back into our daily routine in France after World Championships full of inspiration and we would like to share our two riders’ feelings.
Charlotta and Thaïna who were competing on Hylur frá Miðhrauni and Hrísey frá Langholtsparti had a great time on the track.
“The feeling when you enter the track is unbelievable and to feel the support from all these people is an amazing feeling” said Charlotta.
At our riders’ sides providing great support round-the-clock were the two grooms Jennifer Evelönn and Berglind Þorvaldssdóttir.
Of course, Svanhvít Kritsjansdóttir was also there to train and coach the girls at all times.
Although the results were not as high as the peak they had reached this season both our riders were happy to have had the chance present their horses and show elegant, nice riding at these Championships.
Our greatest achievement during these Championships in Herning was of course Glóðafeykir frá Halakoti’s victory which we co-own. Glóðafeykir won the World Champion title in breeding class for stallions 7 years and older.
An article about Glóðafeykir will come out in the next coming days where you will learn more about this incredible horse, his history and his future.
The World Championships themselves were extremely well organised by a warmhearthed, welcoming team always ready to help with a smile. And of course, one of if not the most important factors, the facilities for the horses were very good.
To finish we would like to thank the rest of the French team: Sophie, Michel, Jacques, Ayla, Pascale, Xavière and Charlotte as well as their grooms and of course our team leader Jean-Paul Balz for a great time and experience. We hope there will be many more!
