He is a certified horse trainer and riding instructor from Hólar University, and he has claimed the titles of Icelandic Champion and Nordic Champion several times. Furthermore, he’s been in the finals of the European Championships, the World Championships, and the Icelandic championship called Landsmót.

In this series, he shows and explains to us how he trains tölt and flying pace with his horses. And the prerequisite for getting it to work properly is that the horse has impulsion and understands the half-halts.
