Mission & Goals
FEIF stands for International Federation of Icelandic Horse Associations and represents 22 Icelandic Horse Associations worldwide, counting over 65.000 members. FEIF is, in fact, a hugely ambitious project, which holds the Icelandic horse world together across the globe, while endeavoring to overcome the differences in culture, politics and language. It entails: in sport and breeding: to ensure that there is only one set of standards/rules; in education: to see that all FEIF instructors and trainers have a comparable skill set, regardless of where they trained; in leisure riding: to create a sense of common identity and community, regardless of whether you are crossing the Rocky Mountains, or riding along the North Sea; and in youth work: to strengthen what we all share, the love for the horse – particularly for young people.
