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/sverigeritten https://www.facebook.com/groups/399554237899819 https://www.icelandichorse.se/5.7d6a3f0c192704b8f6479f42.html https://www.icelandichorse.se/evenemang/sverigeritten/50-ars-utmaningen Music by Cob.

For the last episode of our 1st season we welcome our first scientist. Since the creation of this podcast we wanted to invite people beyond skilled riders; so we talked with Linda Andersson, a horse nerd and veterinarian at Saxtorp Hästklinik, and with Zola Runsten, a farrier specialised in Icelandic horses. In this episode we now talk with Heiðrún, our first scientist focused on genetics behind the gaits of Icelandic horses. She recently passed her doctoral thesis at SLU on genetic regulation of ability and quality of gaits in Icelandic horses, but listen to her she will explain that better!!
