- For the Icelandic Horse & Tomorrow’s Rider -

We ( Carrie Hill & Mackenzie Durbin ) have thrown around the idea of a podcast for years - but we finally made it happen, stuck in the truck together on a

10-hour road trip home from a horse show. Here, we come together as equestrian professionals to share our hardest lessons, biggest wins and our future hopes in Icelandic horsemanship. Our conversations aim to educate, inspire and grow all people like us, who love Icelandic horses - from enthusiasts and amateurs, to trainers, competitors and field specialists. Our topics cover all things care practices, training systems, Icelandic horse history, sport competition, breeding and much more.

LIVE🚨 In this episode, we sit down with Hulda Geirsdóttir—international FEIF judge, Icelandic horse breeder, journalist, and radio host—to explore her multifaceted journey through horsemanship and media. Hulda shares how she blends storytelling and horses, her path from Iceland to Colorado State University, and the creation of her legendary stallion Þristur frá Feti syndicate. We dive deep into her philosophy on judging, horse welfare, and the future of sport competition, plus her reflections on community, education, and the evolving “social license” of horse sport.
