In the last Fika episode of season 1, we talk with Lisa, one of the driving forces behind "Sverigeritten", an event organised by the leisure section of the Swedish Icelandic horse association (SIF). We talk about how it developed over the years, different challenges to participate and in what other countries similar concepts can be found to date. We hope to inspire you with this very inclusive episode, joining your Icelandic horse friends and local associations to spend time together and out in the nature. https://www.icelandichorse.se/evenemang/sverigerittenhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/399554237899819https://www.icelandichorse.se/5.7d6a3f0c192704b8f6479f42.htmlhttps://www.icelandichorse.se/evenemang/sverigeritten/50-ars-utmaningenMusic by Cob.Follow us on Instagram and Facebook, @the_toelt_tales.
