Here is a link to information about the 2014 Landsmot.

I am not sure why the gentlemen are riding without shirts in the video below. Perhaps it was a bet.
As a little girl, I always wanted a pony for Christmas. Santa never brought me a pony. So in my late 40s, I started taking horseback riding lessons. When I turned 50, I got my first horse, an Icelandic named Blessi (Veigar frá Búðardal). Little did I know how much fun life with an Icelandic was going to be. Blessi has a unique perspective on life. I hope you enjoy reading about it as much as I enjoy Blessi. And you will probably read about my cats from time to time.

What is Landsmót
Landsmot is the national Icelandic horse competition held in Iceland. Since no horses can enter Iceland, competition is limited (if one can say that about the national Icelandic horse competition) to horses in Iceland. Lansmot is held in even numbered years and the World Championships for Icelandic horses is held in Europe in add numbered years. And yes, the US has been sending both riders and horses to the WC for several years now.
