The Morgunbladid Hall delivered
Gorgeous riding on good horses. This was included with the final exhibition of graduate students in horse riding at the University of Hólar – Hólar School, which was now Saturday in Skagafjörður.
Ten students showed the best jumps there and showed that horse riding in Iceland is at the forefront in terms of training, riding, training and other.
Traditionally for almost 70 years is for Morgunblaðið to award a prize for the best results in riding. Since 1996, they have been called the Morgunblaðshnakkur and are awarded for the combined results in riding in the BS program of the School of Equestrian Sciences. Of course, that tradition was of course kept now.
Talented guys
« The years here in Hólar have been an instructive time but challenging. No matter what goes on, you always have to keep your head and continue: Have the ambition to do better, » says Arney Ólöf Arnardóttir, who got the Morgunbladid this time. These prizes were awarded on behalf of the paper by those who write where the ten students had come out on the Hólar Skeiðvöllur on their horses in one row. Part of the agenda there was that the chairman of the Association of Trainers, Sylvia Sigurbjörnsdóttir, brought students to the blue jacket of the company, which they are now joining by virtue of their education.
« I did not expect this now. Here have been many great guys who are talented horses and can go a long way, » said Arney Ólöf when she was announced that she received the sought -after Morgunbladid, which is a beautifully decorated prize shield. This is truly a sought after artifacts, but so much fun that Arney’s father, Örn Þorleifsson (1938-2017), a farmer in Húsey in Fljótsdalshérað, also received the award of Morgunblaðið, when they were awarded for the first time in Hvanneyri 69 years ago. The story is therefore in a circle; The father and now the daughter.
« I work for horse riding in the future. The job can be both here at home and abroad. Here in Holar I have had a good foundation and education, » says Arney.
Knowledge, skills and professionalism
The Association of Trainers awarded the award for the best results on a final exam and it was Lydía Þorgeirsdóttir who received them. In the graduation group at Hólar now there were ten students; People from Iceland, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. These people are now after three years of study with a BS degree in horsemanship, but in the program there are subjects concerning the biology and treatment of the horse, training, riding and teaching. The group now goes out on stage, with good education to work with the Icelandic horse; Kostgrip that enjoys popularity in many countries.
« Horseback riding is international and the Icelandic horse occupies an important place in that world because of its origins and talents. Everyone who graduates from Hólar in riding and riding therefore plays a major role in this international sector, » And she further said:
« It is you who have the knowledge and the skills to express your professionalism about horse riding. It is also important that you encourage those who are thinking about submitting horse riding to gain the education and knowledge available. «
It is traditionally at home in Hólar, but students in horse riding set themselves up for shooting in front of the cathedral and schoolhouse.
