Eldhestar Local Staff Competition 2017
Eldhestar Local Staff Competition 2017On Friday, May 12, we held our fourth Eldhestar Local staff competition. 18 riders and horses participated in the competition this year. Most of the horses are owned by Eldhestar, some of which we actually bred ourselves, and the other horses are owned by their riders.
The task was to ride a full loop in slow tölt, then change direction and show a loop with speed changes along the short and long sides of the riding hall and finally a full loop in fast tölt. In the finals, this program had to be shown in both directions. Quite a challenging programme, in particular since the warm-up conditions were tricky this year due to strong winds, adding quite a bit of extra energy to the horses.
We had lots of fun competing with each other and showing off the training of the past months. After the competition our wonderful chefs spoiled us with a variety of lovely finger foods.
We congratulate the winner Ida Thorborg with our promising mare Sónata frá Völlum!
