YOUTH WORK

FEIF YOUTH WORK

"FEIF Youth Work started in 1986 when a first “international youth week” was arranged by FEIF and the Netherlands.

The goal of FEIF Youth Work is to bring together young people from different countries. All should share a passion for the Icelandic horse, and participants will learn a lot about the culture, traditions and the place of the horse in the host nation. The shared language at all FEIF Youth events is English."

Follow the FEIF Youth Work Page to find out more about Youth activities in the Icelandic Horse world.
