Equine Experience:

I am 17 years old and have been riding Icelandic horses since 2021. Before that, I rode many other types of horses. I got my first Icelandic horse at the start of 2021, and together we competed in shows and the Norwegian Championships that year. That was also when I was fortunate enough to get sponsored by Draupnir Equestrian Equipment.

Achievements:

  • 5-time Norwegian Champion
  • 2 bronze medals at the Nordic Championship in 2022
  • 4th place in GDT at the Nordic Championships 2024

Goals:

I always aim to improve in every possible way. A key goal for me is to learn more about riding in a way that helps the horse perform better, both on a daily basis and in competitions.

Why Choose Draupnir Equipment:

For me, Draupnir equipment works best for my horses. The quality is top-notch, and it supports both the horse and rider well.

Equine Experience:

I have been involved with horses my entire life, as my mother has always had horses, so it was only natural for me to follow in her footsteps. We have our own stable at home, with both an oval track, a riding hall, and a riding arena. We currently have 8 horses.

Achievements:

  • With my childhood horse Spænir from Højvang, we won T7 and placed second in the children’s group at the Norwegian Championship Gædinga in 2022.
  • At the Norwegian Championship in 2024, I made it to two A-finals with my horse Drifa from Strandmoa.

Goals:

I am now focusing on Þorstí frá Ytri Bægisá, a horse I bought in May 2024. We will compete in V1, T1, and GDT. Our goal is to develop together to build a strong partnership that will lead to great results.

Why Choose Draupnir Equipment:

Draupnir has top-quality equipment that fits a wide range of horses, and the design is incredibly nice.

Equine Experience:

I have been riding horses for most of my life, as we have always had horses in the family, so it was natural for me to start riding too.

Achievements:

In 2024, I focused on my horse Smári from Steinnesi, and together we became Norwegian Champions in T1j and earned a solid 3rd place in V1j. We were also selected to represent Norway at the Nordic Championships, where we placed 4th in T1j. Next year, I will continue competing with Smári from Steinnesi in V1 and T1, and with Nói from Jakobsgården in F1 and T2, a horse we recently bought in September.

Goals:

My goals are to keep my horses healthy and free from injuries throughout the season while developing a positive and effective partnership with them.

Why Choose Draupnir Equipment:

I choose Draupnir equipment because of the excellent quality and beautiful design.
