Team USA’s Icelandic Horse Youth World Cup Riders

Help Team USA’s Youth Riders Cover the Cost of Horse Lease at the FEIF Youth World Cup this July!

Four youth riders are heading to Münsingen, Switzerland this summer to represent the US at the 2024 FEIF Youth World Cup.

While many sports only require human athletes, equestrians need a faithful equine partner, and that is where you, our supportive community comes in!

Friends in Switzerland have generously secured four special horses for our team, and we are hoping to raise enough money to cover the cost of their lease, prep-training, trailering, vet checks, and insurance.

Through hard work and determination, these 4 riders each prepared riding tests (a tölt program and a 4-gait program) and received team qualifying scores. Continually demonstrating their love and deep commitment to the Icelandic horse, participating in this international event is a dream come true for each of them.

Small amounts add up! Thank you so much for your help in supporting the next generation of US Icelandic riders, future trainers, and breed ambassadors!

Special thanks to USIHC for supporting our riders!
