Minnesota is warming up and we're looking forward to hitting the track at Tolthaven Icelandics for the Flugnirgæðinga Sanctioned Sport Show! We hope you'll join us for the fun and the educational opportunities. Whether you're a seasoned competitor or are considering your first show, we welcome you!
Meetings & Educational Sessions
In addition to judging our sport show, our featured judge will be teaching several informational sessions for us. This is a great show for people new to showing as well as for experienced competitors. Classes for riders and horses of all levels will be offered! He is just as excited to introduce new riders to the fun and excitement of Icelandic competition as he is to accurately assess the progress of advanced riders.
