This past weekend we hosted another CIA Open at our ranch and it was a small show but very successful. We had over 20 horse and rider combinations and over 30 people came to the pre show BBQ on Friday night. Rune came from Norway to be our judge. It was a real international show, we had riders from Germany, Sweden, Iceland and the US participating. Very fun weekend. Of course there are many people to thank including Doug and Gayle, Willy Ma, Heather and everyone for coming to partake in our show.

I rode Dynjandi in Open Tolt and Fourgait, Grásteinn one of our sales horses in Pleasure fourgait and Dynur in the 100 m pace race. Will rode Perla, one of our sales horses in Fivegait and 100 m pace race. Jenny rode Þór in Fivegait and Pace Race and Lokkur one of our horses in training in Pleasure Fourgait. Our students did very well. Rachel rode Kaliber in her first show and won the youth Tolt with a score of 7.3. She also borrowed Þór and rode in for the first time in Open Class and place second in T3 and V2. Cait borrowed Kani and they won Youth fourgait and were second in Youth Tolt after Rachel and Kaliber. Lucy and Andri did really well in the open and scored over 7.0 in both Open group Tolt and Fourgait. Eileen rode Drift in Pleasure Tolt and Novice Tolt and won both classes. Christina rode her Hrafnson Hroftur in Open for the first time and they did very well and scored 6.3 in the fourgait final. Sara had a great time at her first show with her young mare Melrós. Steffi flew with Rune from Germany and borrowed Dreyri. She had a great time riding him in her first US show. Overall a very successful and fun show.

We are back home after two weeks at the World Championships in Switzerland. We had a great time and Dynjandi did very well at his first World Championships and made 2 finals and was 0.06 from gold in Fourgait combination. Húni and Dynjandi flew together from LAX to Luxembourg along with out team leader Doug Smith and they met up with 3 other US horses that flew in from NY. We stayed at a farm not too far away from the WC showgrounds for two days.

Húni got an absess and passed his vet check the day of the dicipline and Anne-Marie and him did very well considering.

Then last weekend the CIA Open Spring show was held here at Flying C and we had 38 Horse and Rider combinations and about 50 people came for our pre show BBQ. We had a lot of fun and want to thank Stina and Steinar for bringing their horses and people and Gayle and Doug for all their help and all the Kraftur folks for coming to support our show and of course Þorgeir for coming from Holland to be our judge and Els for coming with him.

I rode Dynjandi frá Dalvík in T1 and V1, Þór frá Prestsbakka in F1 and Dynur in the pace race. Will rode Þór frá Litlu-Sandvík in T2 and V1 and Þór frá Prestsbakka in the pace race. Anne-Marie rode Húni in T2 and both Blær and Sörli in V1 and Blær in T1. Cait borrowed Kani for the youth classes V6 and T8 and they did so good together at their first show. They won the Tölt and tied for second in Fourgait. Her sister Lucy borrowed Dreyri for the Open group classes T3 and V2 and they did really well together too. They won fourgait and tied for first in tölt but Berta took the gold since she had the higher score the day before.
